I launched a brand new AI automation agency from scratch in just 56 minutes. No audience tricks, no prep, no fluff. I recorded the clock, sent 50 texts, built a real AI voice agent using HighLevel, and got an actual home service business owner to say yes all in under an hour.This is one of the biggest business opportunities I’ve seen. Most local businesses don’t answer the phone after hours and miss out on thousands in lost revenue. You can fix that with an AI answering agent, built in minutes, using tools that are basically free to start with.I walk you through the whole thing scraping leads with Outscraper, cleaning up the data, setting up the AI in HighLevel, and sending personalized texts using StraightText. Everything you need to start is right here. No logo. No LLC. Just real execution.
