AI it’s powering your playlists, your inbox… and yes, your agency. ⚡
Lately, I’ve been diving deep into HighLevel’s AI tools — especially after a killer training session with Mario Aldayuz, HighLevel’s Head of Partnerships at HL Pro Tools and resident automation wizard.
Here’s the truth: AI isn’t about replacing you. It’s about amplifying you — your systems, your creativity, and your client results.
Let’s unpack how I’m using HighLevel + GPT to automate like a beast, generate revenue, and save hours a week.
First… What Even Is AI?
Mario explained it like this: AI is just math. A set of algorithms trained to think in patterns, not feelings.
It breaks down into 4 buckets:
- 🔁 Reactive – Responds to prompts, no memory
- 📚 Limited Memory – Today’s ChatGPT lives here
- 🧠 Theory of Mind – Not there yet
- 🤯 Self-Aware – Still sci-fi (for now)
Most of the tools you’re using today are “Limited Memory.” That’s powerful — but don’t expect them to write your next novel (yet).
GPT Actions Inside HighLevel = Game Changer
Here’s where it gets fun.
With GPT actions, you can drop AI straight into your automations. That means:
- 📨 Dynamic email replies based on lead data
- 💬 Personalized text messages that don’t feel automated
- 🛠️ Better segmentation with less guesswork
Imagine a lead fills out a quiz → GPT writes a hyper-relevant SMS on the fly. That’s not just cool — that’s conversion fuel. 🔥
But heads up: each GPT action costs around $0.03 per message. So if you’re scaling this to 10,000 people, keep your budget in mind.
Monetize It: Credit-Based Billing (SaaS Pro Plan Users, This Is for You)
One of the sneaky-powerful strategies Mario shared?
➡️ Prepaid SMS/credit systems.
If you’re on the $497 SaaS Pro Plan, you can give clients $10–$50 worth of SMS credits, and charge for any overages.
How to turn that into profit:
- ✅ Upgrade to SaaS Pro
- 📊 Set usage caps + transparency rules
- 💰 Mark up 2–3x what HighLevel charges
Suddenly, your costs become a revenue stream. Yes please.
Bonus Tools Worth Exploring
Here are a couple more tools Mario dropped that I’ve been playing with:
🧩 TextCortex – Let’s you run AI with live web queries
📚 Knowledge Base Integration – Connect FAQs into chatbots
These tools let you stay proactive, not reactive. Less firefighting. More flow.
My Advice? Start Small.
Look — you don’t have to build a GPT mega-brain from day one.
Experiment. Iterate. Test what works inside your niche.
Here’s how I’d start:
- ✅ Add GPT to one lead nurture sequence
- ✅ Use credit billing on 2–3 clients
- ✅ Monitor cost vs ROI
The future isn’t coming — it’s here.
And HighLevel + AI? It’s your rocket fuel.
