Last Tuesday, I sat staring at my phone at 11:47 PM, watching a conversation unfold.
A potential lead had just kicked off an automated SMS demo on my website. Instead of waiting until morning for my response, they were having a full conversation with my AI agent. They got to give the tech a spin, test how the agent could qualify their customers, and book a call with me.

This SMS conversation happened on their schedule, in their comfort zone, without high-pressure selling.
We can talk all day about the cool factor of AI, but situations like this one make it practical. Customers love it. Businesses love it.
The "Always On" Problem Most Businesses Face
Here’s what we know about the fast-pace of business today:
You can have the best marketing in the world, but if someone reaches out at 9 PM on a Sunday and doesn't hear back until Monday afternoon, you've lost them. They've moved on, found someone else, and made other plans.
It's not your fault, you're human. You sleep. You have weekends. You take vacations.
But your leads don't wait.
What I Built (And You Can Too)
I decided to solve this problem for myself first.
I built this AI demo agent to show business owners what we can build, tailored to their industry and products.
Here's what it can do:
- Greet new leads with a personalized message
- Ask the right qualifying questions for a specific business
- Book consultation calls directly to a calendar
- Send prospects to the most relevant offer based on their answers
- Log every interaction automatically in a CRM
The best part? It's completely customizable for any niche. Whether you're a coach, real estate agent, consultant, or service provider, the same framework works.
How It Actually Works
Let me walk you through what happens when someone reaches out:
Step 1: The bot introduces itself and asks how it can help today.
Step 2: Based on their response, it asks qualifying questions. But here's where I learned something important. You can't just ask, "How old are you?" That feels intrusive.
Instead, I have the agent explain why it needs information: "Can you confirm if you are between the ages of 30 and 55? This helps us tailor our approach to your unique stage in life."
This gets a response instead of “crickets.”
Step 3: The bot either books them for a call or directs them to a specific resource based on their answers.
Step 4: Everything gets logged in a CRM with tags, so when a business is ready to connect, they don’t need to start from scratch.
The Tech Stack (Simpler Than You Think)
I use three main tools:
GoHighLevel for the CRM, booking system, and messaging platform. This handles all the customer-facing interactions and keeps everything organized.
n8n connects the apps and creates the workflow logic. This is where the magic happens. It's the brain that decides what happens next based on each response.
ChatGPT handles the actual conversations naturally. No robotic responses or awkward interactions.
Once it's set up, the system runs 24/7. It never forgets to follow up. It never has a bad day. And it never misses a lead.
Want to build your own? You can start with GoHighLevel’s AI features and try it free for 30 days. Their AI Employees summer offer makes it even easier to get up and running right now.
Two Ways to Get Started
Option 1: Build Your Own
If you're the type who likes to understand how things work, you can create something similar using GoHighLevel's built-in AI features. There's no coding required, and they have templates to get you started.
This is perfect if you want to learn the system and customize every detail for your business.
As an added bonus, you can build bots for other people once you understand how it all works. It’s a whole different revenue stream!
Option 2: Let Me Handle the Tech
Maybe you love the idea but don't want to spend time figuring out the technical details. I get it. You'd rather focus on what you do best and have someone else handle the setup.
I can build a custom AI bot that is branded for your business, programmed with your specific content and offers, and ready to handle conversations with your prospects.
Why This Matters Right Now
AI tools are finally mature enough to handle real business tasks, but most people haven't figured out how to use them practically yet.
You can be the early adopter in your field. While competitors are still manually responding to every inquiry during business hours, your AI assistant is working around the clock, qualifying leads and booking calls.
We don’t want to replace human interaction, but we need to ensure that we get the opportunity to have those one-on-one conversations.
What's Next?
If you're already running a business and tired of leads slipping through the cracks, this could be exactly what you need.
If you're just starting out and looking for your first practical AI project, this is useful from day one.
