HighLevel has rolled out new Voice AI agents that can handle inbound calls 24/7. This could significantly reduce missed calls and manual work for agencies and their clients.

Who this affects

HighLevel has not confirmed who specifically is affected by this release. It is likely relevant to agency owners and SaaS entrepreneurs who manage client communications or wish to offer automated call handling services.

What changed

Voice AI agents are now available within HighLevel. These agents are designed to improve inbound call management by:

• Answering inbound calls 24/7.
• Booking appointments directly.
• Handling frequently asked questions.
• Taking messages when a team is offline.
• Being fully customizable through the Voice AI library.

HighLevel has not confirmed any limits or plan gating for this feature. The rollout status is also unknown at this time.

Where to find it

This new functionality is located within the HighLevel platform's Voice AI library. HighLevel has not published a precise navigation path yet.

How agencies will use this

Agencies can leverage Voice AI agents to automate significant portions of their clients' inbound call processes. For example, an agency could set up a Voice AI agent for a chiropractor client. When a new prospect calls, the AI agent would answer, qualify the lead based on custom prompts, check the chiropractor's HighLevel calendar for availability, and book an appointment directly. If the caller has basic questions about office hours or services, the AI can handle them without human intervention. During off-hours, if a caller needs to leave a message, the AI agent can accurately capture the details and forward them to the client's team, ensuring no lead is missed due to staffing limitations. This reduces operational overhead and improves lead capture efficiency for the client, offering a clear value proposition for the agency.

Our take

This is a major update. The ability to deploy customizable Voice AI agents that handle inbound calls around the clock addresses a critical pain point for many businesses: missed calls and overloaded staff. It provides a direct pathway for agencies to offer advanced automation services, potentially increasing client retention and acquisition by improving lead conversion and customer service. The customization options mean agencies can tailor the AI to specific client needs and branding, making it a powerful tool in their service offerings. While specific details on pricing, rollout, and access are still unconfirmed, the core functionality itself is substantial.
