Honest experiences with HighLevel Voice AI for inbound calls?
I've spent 20+ years designing phone systems and contact centers, and I'm looking at HighLevel Voice AI to answer inbound calls for small local businesses (salons, trades, dental). Before I put it in front of real customers, I'd like to hear from people running it in production. 1. Response delay: How long is the pause between the caller finishing and the AI responding? Do callers notice or talk over it? 2. Interruptions: How well does it handle callers who cut it off mid-sentence or change their mind? 3. Capturing details: How accurate is it with names, phone numbers, and emails over the phone? Any tricks that helped? 4. Booking: How reliable is calendar booking? Ever double-booked or booked the wrong slot? 5. Staying on script: Does it stick to the knowledge base, or does it make things up when it doesn't know the answer? 6. Transfers: How well does live transfer to a person work? 7. Real costs: What do you actually spend per client per month? Did the AI Employee bundle or per-minute pricing work out better? 8. Caller reactions: How do customers respond once they realize it's AI? Any complaints from owners? 9. Outside calendars: Has anyone booked into an external system like Vagaro, or did you move clients to HighLevel calendars? 10. When it falls short: Has anyone switched voice to Retell, Vapi, or similar while keeping HighLevel for everything else? What pushed you to do it?
B2B founders: which AI outbound tools are actually working?
B2B founders, have you tried any AI outbound tools that actually booked meetings for you? A few I’ve looked at: Startories - autonomous fresh-intent lead discovery + outbound Artisan / Ava - AI SDR for prospecting and outreach Clay - lead enrichment + personalization Instantly - cold email outreach at scale Most of the “AI sales rep” tools get expensive pretty quickly, so I’m more interested in what actually works in practice. Do you use one all-in-one tool, or a stack for prospecting + personalization + outreach? What has actually generated replies or demos for you?
Hey r/shopify community, I am curious how you are handling incoming emails from customers if there is a bunch of them that is exceeding your daily capabilities. Do you have a team/partner/friends who look at and deal with them? Do you use AI functions? Or do you mostly not get such an amount of emails? Existing AI agent providers charge IMO heavily, so I am thinking of designing my own agent to categorize and help with emails from customers - or do you have any recommendations besides Gorgias, Aiva, Deskhero, etc.?
I'm thinking of adding a personal AI assistant to my portfolio that can answer questions about me, my skills, and my projects. It would also be able to schedule a meeting with me through a short chat or voice conversation. Do you think this would actually be useful for attracting clients, or would it be waste of time and effort?
Could someone refer me to an article or video explaining modern Ai agents with selling or promising the world
I just want to get some information on the topic. I'd like to tinker with one and set something up for my own workflow. I've been working with ChatGPT's Astra, but I feel like there could be a good open-source or closed-network option. However, everywhere I look, it seems like I'm getting swindled, even on this sub.
Hello! want to integrate AI for some part of chattings ( not fully ). But, I came across TOS of OF that they prohibit using AI for message sendings, do you guys have any experience towards that? If it that prohibited then how third party apps are doing that? Is there specific technical implementation way to that safely? Can't really risk my account.
What problems do actual AI Automation Agencies face?
So recently I've heard that most agencies of this culture fail because the tool they use breaks things apart without the team being updated, and this leads to the client knowing about the problem before and then they start complaining. I wanna know how actual agencies/solo AI automation experts fix this problem before I get into this myself. Do you use any specific tool paid/free? Do you just stare at the automation interface for hours? WHAT'S GOING ON!
What’s an underrated AI Tool you use for Ecommerce?
Not looking for the obvious ChatGPT/Claude type answers. I’m more interested in the smaller tools you’ve actually used and found useful. Could be something for product research, ads, customer support, analytics, automation, content, or anything else. Maybe you came across a lesser-known AI tool that ended up being surprisingly useful for your ecommerce business, even though you barely see anyone talking about it. Drop the tool below and let us know what you use it for and what makes it worth using.
I know many INTPs are into CS. Any experiences using AI agents?
I wanted to post this on artificial intelligence sub but it wouldn't let me. I'm also an INTP and a computer systems engineer. I know many INTPs are in the field too so I thought "why not ask these brilliant minds about this?" I've been investigating a bit about ai agents and I see a lot of potential in them to generate money for money: digital products, B2B services SaaS, consulting, ect. where should I start? have any of you guys have had some experience with this?
Who's building it? I've got s a lot of ideas... My current RMM once felt ahead of the curve but now feels like it's lagging badly. I want flexibility. Api / MCP integrations for aggregated dashboards. AI agent working over secure on demand tunnels to endpoints.. Smart alerting.. Documentation ingestion and self service... Scheduled programmatic control over the client entire stack. Anyone see any promising projects out there?
Has anyone ever built one? For context, I'm building an AI PA for a client to make outbound calls on their behalf for day to day tasks. I'm using Vapi, ElevenLabs, Replit, and Twilio for the stack. So far it can do basic stuff, Vapi recognizes the tools well like voicemail, IVR, holding, transferring etc. but the latency is 1000ms+. I tried ElevenLabs for the agent but it just wasn't recognizing voicemail or sitting on hold accurately, although the voices were much better. It needs to be able to wait through IVRs, get context from ChatGPT/GrokBot where all the knowledge base lives mid call, wait through music, sit on hold, and recognize different voicemails. Issue is it keeps falling for false positives. I'm wondering if anyone has built something like this before where it was super reliable for day to day use and what tools you used?
We’re thinking about adding AI to our existing helpdesk, mainly to cut down on repetitive tickets and reduce some of the manual work for the support team. We’d also like to understand what customers are contacting us about most often and use that to improve our support process. I’ve been looking at a few different AI support tools, but it’s hard to tell which ones actually work well once you start using them. For those already using AI with a helpdesk, what tools have worked well for your team? And is there anything you’d recommend checking before choosing one?
Any good AI agents for customer service and sales?
I’m looking for an AI agent that can handle customer support and some basic sales conversations. Ideally, it should be able to answer common questions, qualify leads, work across different channels, and know when it’s better to hand the conversation over to a human. I’ve come across a lot of tools that mainly focus on chatbot replies, but I’m more interested in something that can actually handle support tasks and take action when needed. For anyone who has used these types of tools, what worked well for you? Anything I should look out for before choosing one?
Looking for an AI customer support tool that can do more than basic chat
We’re a small support team and trying to cut down on some of the repetitive stuff, like common questions, order issues, and simple account requests. not looking to replace human support completely. It would be helpful if an AI tool could handle the easier questions and pass anything more complicated to a support agent. I’ve been looking at a few different options, but it’s hard to tell which ones actually work well once you’re using them day to day. For anyone already using AI for customer support, what has worked well for your team? Anything you’d recommend looking for when choosing a tool?
So, this is what I currently have. We’re doing enterprise sales with a very niche target group. This means I don’t need to blast 1,000 emails and LinkedIn messages a day. I’m looking for a more tailored, AI-driven automation setup. Ideally, the setup would work something like this: A tool or AI agent understands our ICP, our solution and our market. We then create different personas, and these personas can be targeted based on different rules, such as buying signals or manual entry by the sales team. Once someone matches the criteria, they should be added to a flow. For example, a flow could include a LinkedIn connection request/InMail and a cold email, with each message being deeply personalised by AI based on the individual, company and context. All of this data should then be synced back to HubSpot, so the activity and relevant information are visible in the company/contact records. In other words, I’m looking for something that works almost like a sales automation agent. I’m currently testing a few tools, including Lemlist, Gojiberry, Surfe, FirstTouch and Expandi. So far, Lemlist seems like one of the strongest options for the multichannel approach, especially because of its HubSpot integration. Unfortunately, Gojiberry doesn’t have a native HubSpot connection, which is a bit of a dealbreaker for us. What would you recommend for this kind of multichannel, AI-driven sales agent approach? Especially interested in setups that work well with HubSpot and focus on highly targeted, personalised enterprise outreach rather than high-volume outbound.
What’s the best full sales pipeline setup to use for a niche audience ?

Has anyone built an "AI vacation delegate" for Outlook/Teams?
I'm a non-admin enterprise user (not a Microsoft or IT admin). But Microsoft ecosystem. I'll be on vacation for a few weeks and want a simple setup: If someone sends me a Teams message or email containing a special keyword (something like MYNAMEVAC) AI replies automatically on my behalf Ideally the AI knows some context about me, my role, projects and who to redirect people to I do NOT need it to answer every message, only messages with that keyword I have access to Microsoft 365, Teams, Outlook, Copilot and Claude Team. I'm trying to avoid building custom software if possible. Has anyone implemented something like this using: Claude + Microsoft 365 connector? Power Automate? Copilot Studio? Any third-party tool/service? What's the simplest working solution today for a regular enterprise user?
How good are AI interviewers at knowing when to abandon the script?
I've been looking into AI moderated research interviews and the basic question/answer part seems straightforward enough. What I’m more interested is what happens when someone gives an answer nobody anticipated. I watched a bit of how Qualitate approaches this and have also been looking at Outset and a few others. All of them talk about adaptive followups but that’s difficult to judge from a polished example. With a human moderator, sometimes the best 10 minutes of the interview come from one random comment halfway through. Has anyone seen an AI interviewer consistently catch those moments across a real study?
How do you handle customer support as your SaaS grows?
I'm interested in hearing how other SaaS and customer success teams are dealing with the increase in customer questions as they grow. At a smaller stage, it seems pretty easy for the support team to handle most questions directly. But once the customer base starts growing, the same questions can come up again and again, and it can become difficult for the team to keep up while still giving customers a good experience. I'm curious about how other teams are approaching this. Do you use AI to handle simple and repetitive questions, while your support team focuses on more complex issues? Or do you prefer having people handle most conversations themselves? I've recently been exploring Aissist as one possible approach to handling some of the more common customer questions. I'm still interested in understanding how other SaaS teams are solving this in practice. What has worked well for your team? And at what stage did you feel the need to change your support process?
I'm a small cleaning business owner and I'm curious how folks here are using AI or automation. What's actually worked for you, what backfired? Especially around client communication, scheduling, follow-ups. Anyone with real experience?
Starting a solo AI automation agency with reusable templates — best stack + client account setup?
I’m planning to start a one-person AI automation agency and want to avoid rebuilding everything from scratch for every client. My idea is to create reusable automation templates for common business problems, then customise them depending on the industry/client. Examples: Lead response + follow-up Missed-call recovery Review/reputation automation Appointment booking/reminders Quote follow-up Customer reactivation Payment/invoice follow-up Customer support automation The goal is for maybe 70–80% of the system to stay reusable, with the remaining 20–30% customised around their CRM, calendar, messaging, business rules, accounting software, etc. I’d then charge a standard setup + monthly management fee, while deeper integrations/custom workflows would be a premium add-on/project. A few questions for people actually running AI automation agencies: What stack would you recommend? HighLevel, Make, n8n, Zapier, or a combination? Would you use HighLevel for CRM/SMS/calendars and Make for more complex automation? Where should client automations live? My agency account, separate client sub-accounts/workspaces, or the client’s own software accounts? Who normally pays software/usage costs? Things like HighLevel, Make, Twilio, OpenAI, phone numbers, SMS and voice usage. Do you bundle this into your monthly price or have clients pay separately? Do you collect setup/software costs upfront? I don’t want to fund a client’s infrastructure before they’ve paid. How reusable are templates in reality? Can the same lead-response system genuinely work across roofing, dental, legal, automotive, etc., with only configuration changes? How do you handle customisation and scope creep? Higher setup fee, project fee, hourly, or premium monthly package? Which automations are businesses actually willing to pay for repeatedly? How much ongoing support do these systems need once deployed? I’m still at the validation/building stage, so I’m especially interested in advice from solo agency owners on software stack, account ownership, pricing, and keeping delivery scalable. Would appreciate any lessons from people who have actually done this. I appreciate your feedback in advance 😀
I want to know the stuff that you've automated at an enterprise or the whole team level. Looking for creative ways to use ai to create solutions that are not just chat interface prompting.
hows everyone handling missed calls during jobs.. anyone using an ai answering service
missed two calls this morning under a truck with the exhaust half off. same guy both times, went to voicemail, booked somewhere else by lunch. counter is me and one advisor so the phone just sits when we are both tied up. looked at those ai answering things but the demos sound like a robot reading off a card. what are shops actually doing for this.. another body or does one of those hold up in a real shop
Hi , We are a industrial chemical supplier and wanted to grab more and more sales, Can AI bots / agents works well as a sales executive for B2b sales / b2c sales . Because making network on foot is a time taking process + cold calling , responses are less If I wanted to add 24 \ 7 AI agent for sales , for regions like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar etc , will it be helpful , if we can train it for a month . Because most of the conversations are based on prices only .
What's one AI agent workflow you actually trust enough to leave running?
I'm less interested in what an AI agent can do in a demo and more interested in what people are comfortable leaving running without constantly checking it. What's one workflow you've actually gotten to that point with? Could be something simple like: Sorting or classifying incoming information Research Document processing Lead qualification Customer support Internal reporting CRM updates Monitoring Email handling I'm especially curious about the boring ones. What does the workflow do, what tools are involved, and what made you comfortable letting it run unattended?
Hey guys wanted to chat and see if someone can recommend something .

AI texting could use a better understanding of “vibes”
A message can be friendly, annoyed, flirty, sarcastic, nervous or completely uninterested while using almost the exact same words. That is probably one of the hardest parts of texting for AI to get right. Which chatbot has impressed you most when it comes to understanding the vibe of a conversation?
