(And Why It Might Be the Smartest Hire You Make This Year)

If you’ve been exploring HighLevel recently — or working with a provider like MarketerM8 — you’ve likely come across the term AI Employee.

It’s a powerful new feature set designed to help businesses handle calls, messages, lead capture and bookings — all automatically. But there’s one common question we keep hearing:

“Where is the AI Employee in HighLevel? I can’t see it anywhere.”

Let’s clear that up — and show you why this might be one of the most important tools your business adopts this year.


So… Where Is the AI Employee?

The AI Employee isn’t a single app or menu item inside HighLevel. You won’t find a tab labelled “AI Employee” in the usual places like Automations or Opportunities.

That’s because the AI Employee is actually a collection of powerful AI tools being built directly into the core of the HighLevel platform — across:

  • Phone systems (Voice AI)

  • Website and social chat (Conversation AI)

  • Workflows

  • Reviews

  • Funnel builders

  • Content tools

It’s not a standalone product — it’s a smart layer across the whole system, designed to work in the background and do the work of a human assistant, 24/7.


What Is the AI Employee?

The HighLevel AI Employee is an always-on virtual assistant that uses artificial intelligence to engage leads, answer questions, book appointments, and even follow up — without any human input.

It’s ideal for small businesses who:

  • Don’t want to miss leads out of hours

  • Need help handling repetitive calls and messages

  • Want to book more appointments, faster

  • Are looking to automate more of their front-end customer journey

Let’s look at the two most used AI Employee features:


🔹 Conversation AI (Live Chat Assistant)

Conversation AI handles incoming messages via:

  • Your website chat widget

  • Facebook Messenger

  • Instagram DMs

  • Google Business Messages

It responds instantly using data from your business, captures leads, answers questions, and can book calls straight into your calendar.


🔹 Voice AI (Phone Assistant)

Voice AI picks up your business phone line 24/7 and speaks in a natural, human-like voice. It can:

  • Answer questions (“What are your hours?”)

  • Take messages

  • Capture lead details (name, email, phone)

  • Book appointments

  • Route urgent calls to your team

It’s like having a receptionist who never takes a break — and always shows up.

Why Are Small Businesses Turning to HighLevel?

More and more small and medium-sized businesses are switching to HighLevel — not just for its CRM and marketing tools, but because of what the AI Employee can now do for them:

✅ Respond instantly to leads — even after hours
✅ Qualify enquiries automatically
✅ Book appointments without admin time
✅ Reduce missed calls
✅ Automate FAQs, messages, follow-ups, and more
✅ Free up your team for higher-value work

Instead of hiring more staff, many business owners are now letting the AI Employee handle the front-end — while they focus on growth.
