Episode description

What if every call to your business got answered, even after hours? In this video, I build an AI receptionist that answers calls, answers questions about your business, books appointments on your calendar and transfers callers to a person when needed. You don't need to write any code. I use a fictional roofing company as the example. Then I test her on live calls, including one with a question she doesn't know the answer to. I'm a partner with HighLevel, and I'm using their platform for this build. Sign up through my link to get the pre-made templates for what I show in this video: https://www.gohighlevel.com/neil-patel You will learn: — How to set up the three parts of an AI employee: the brain, the knowledge and the hands. — How to write instructions that stop her from quoting prices or promising discounts, refunds or insurance coverage. — How to build a knowledge base with your hours, service areas and the questions customers ask most. — How to test bookings, transfers and after-hours calls before she talks to a real customer. Tell me in the comments what type of business you'd build this for. Then watch the next video, where I make seven calls, playing a more difficult customer each time, to see where she slips up.
