If you’re reading this, chances are you want to start an AI automation agency, or maybe you’re already running one.
I’m sure by now you’ve realized that AI automation is not as easy as everyone makes it out to be.
Maybe you don’t have much business experience or you just don’t know what to build.
And that’s why today I’m going to be taking you guys through the best AI automation services that you can offer.
So, without further ado, let’s hop into it.
1. AI Custom Chatbots
This is probably the most popular one right now because of this whole AI automation agency trend, AI that’s going around on the Internet, the AI buzzword. But AI bots are extremely easy to make, the chatbots at least, because no code is required.
In fact, a simple tutorial is enough to take you from knowing nothing about no-code AI automation tools to create your very first AI automation chatbot that’s literally being sold to clients.
Chatbots are everywhere. It’s extremely easy to create. I promise you, it will take 20 minutes to watch a good tutorial, and you will be able to use the 3 main tools used for AI chatbot development within no time. I’m talking about:
- Stack AI,
- BotPress, and
- Stammer AI
It’s a very repetitive process creating these AI chatbots. So once you create 1 or 2, creating 3, 4, 5, and 6, you’re only going to be better and faster and can make a lot of money from it because clients are paying like 3k one time with $500/month retainers for these types of projects.
2. Customer Service Chatbot
This one is similar to the previous service but tailored specifically for customer service.
The reason you hear about it all the time is because people take it to the basic FAQ-type bot and don’t bring it on past there. But it really has a lot of potential beyond that.
But the cool thing is it’s pretty much applicable to any industry anywhere:
- Agencies
- Coaches
- Consultants
- Real estate
- E-commerce
- Airbnb hosts
This is especially useful in industries like e-commerce, where the bot can help with things like order tracking, charger backs, customer retention, etc.
What it has an application, it lacks individuality, which is why it’s usually not a very powerful solution. What I mean is that it’s more generalized. Because it can be applied to everybody, it doesn’t really have the chance to hone in on one specific niche, which takes away from it.
It’s the same reason you can’t use ChatGPT for generating actual good content, and instead, you have to use a custom-trained model.
However, that doesn’t mean that the benefits aren’t there. You save companies time, money, and headaches by implementing something like this. There is no outsourcing to VAs and no fires that they have to put out.
You can reduce the cost as well of having to outsource to entire customer support teams.
3. Automated Onboarding Sequence
This is essentially an easy way to automate the onboarding process and ensure that you and your client get all of the information that they need promptly.
It’s also something that can be built out really easily and really quickly using Zapier or Make.com, depending on the tools that you’re using.
And now, in terms of the industries, the spectrum is broad. But straight off the top of my head, it’s useful for
- Agencies
- Coaches
- Consultants
- Firms
And software companies that need to onboard their users.
And it doesn’t just have to be for client or customer onboarding. It could also be used for onboarding new hires, sending them a welcome packet, and getting them onboarded into your software.
4. Appointment Booking Bots
Appointment setter bots are bots that are becoming more and more popular because a lot of people are doing mass outreach, starting their own SMMAs, or on their own AI automation agencies or bot automation agencies.
They need bots that are able to continue conversations with incoming DMs and ultimately set appointments for these people.
You can easily create something like this with GoHighLevel.
The way it works is, let’s say you’re an influencer or you’re a coach who’s running a big ad campaign. So you fire ads on Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn, and in the ad, you’re like, “DM me mentorship if you want to get a free consultation.”
And then you get thousands of DMs. You obviously can’t go through every single one, answer every single person, and continue a full conversation with them, which is why you create an appointment setter bot.
So now, when a person DMs you, the appointment setter bot has GPT training. So it uses a GPT 3.5 or even GPT 4 model to answer whatever questions the incoming person has, and eventually, your bot will send out a Calendly or Google link.
So the client or the incoming lead can click that link and ultimately book a hence setting an appointment.
5. Inbound Lead Qualification & Acquisition Bot
Now I know that was a mouthful. But just hear me out here because this is something that could benefit every industry, basically.
Now, this is actually something that I built for a previous client of mine. The whole goal of this bot/automation is to collect information from a lead and qualify them before allowing them to move to the next step.
This is mainly applicable in higher ticket AI automation agency niches like:
- Luxury goods
- Agencies
- Coaches and consultants
- Hospitality
- Real estate
This pretty much eliminates the need for a human on the other end to set the appointment and make sure that leads don’t slip through the cracks.
And here’s why this is really good. Agencies that have a lot of inbound leads and are selling a high ticket product most likely have more than enough money to pay you very well for this service.
For them, it means they don’t have to deal with a setter or train a VA to work for them. Instead, they could have that process completely automated for them.
The important thing to make this work is to collect the data that you need from your client. And I’m talking sales data like scripts, previous conversations that they had with clients, all of the software that they’re using, like what CRM or what are they using to intake leads, FAQs, company policies, and add those to a vector database, and you can basically train your bot from there.
6. Retail Bot
Retail bots are the hardest bots to make. Personally, any newcomer in the industry, I recommend building retail bots. The thing is, it’s extremely hard to make because the security for these sites is top-notch.
There’s a lot of security, and you don’t want to be that person who’s constantly coding every single day, having to update their code every single day. It’s just a lot of work and it’s a big headache.
But this is where the market is the largest because everyone wants sneakers, everyone wants the latest gaming console. So if you want to make the most money possible, then yes, this is the industry. This is a bot service you should be in. But just know that is a big headache.
Personally, I don’t create these bots anymore.
7. Content Automation
Now, I want you guys to hear me out here because it’s not technically one thing, but there is so much potential in here. I guarantee you can find something that works.
There are a lot of things you can do both on the larger scale enterprise, like SaaS, and then things you can do on the smaller scale, like just customer to client type thing, B2C, business to customer.
There are AI content creation tools like:
- AdCreative.ai for creating ad creatives
- Repurpose.io for content repurposing
- Castmagic for turning audio into different formats of content
- Ocoya for social media content
You can even use ChatGPT and Zapier to automate blog posts.
And the good thing is just like our customer service chatbot, it’s pretty much applicable to any industry. All businesses, or at least all smart businesses, are using content these days. But the problem with that is it’s a huge time sink.
8. Scheduling Bots
Scheduling bots are my personal favorite because I have been creating them left and right recently. You see, websites like celayix.com urgently require shift-based workers or even towing truck drivers to book a shift or a towing job the moment it appears.
This is what you call the first come, first serve model. So it’s just how it’s said. Whoever accepts the job first will get the job. As a result, get the money, and their business will grow. But what happens to the people who don’t accept the job first? They’re screwed.
That is where a bot can solve their problem, because a bot can always click a button, enter information into a text box faster than a human ever could. This is why sites that have shift-based workers or have a system where you have to accept a job manually are extremely popular in the bot industry.
The best part is they have very little security. With creating bots, you have to make sure the browser doesn’t detect you. But with these websites, the security is little to none. So, as long as you know simple bot development and minimal code, you can create a very lucrative bot.
9. AI Trading Bots
AI trading bots sound insane. I know it sounds absolutely crazy, but these bots are basically bots that are trained on stock, performance, and historical data, as well as common indicators to make a clear-cut prediction on what the stock will be doing next, going up or going down.
Obviously, if you make the algorithm right, you’re going to crush Wall Street bets.
With the recent advancements of AI, everyone was shying away from training because they think they goes against supercomputer algorithms. But the thing is, with AI now, you can start replicating these algorithms for yourself on your personal Mac or your Windows.
Now, what seemed impossible is now very, very possible. You can create a very good AI trading bot that is able to predict at least seven out of 10 times correctly if a stock is to go up or down.
This is something that you can sell to a lot of clients, or you can use it for your personal gain and have it traded for your own account.
10. Inventory Monitor Bots
This does fall more in the retail space but is much simpler because you’re not actually adding the product to the cart. You’re more scanning whether an item is in stock. Once you figure out if it’s in stock, you just send an alert to whoever is using your bot that says, Hey, this item is in stock. Here’s the add-to-cart link. Let’s get on your own browser and check the product out regularly.
Discords love this type of stuff. So if you ever create something like this, I guarantee if you go to any cook group or a sneaker bot discord, a retail bot discord, you can most likely sell your bot to them if it’s even remotely good for a good amount of money every single month.
11. Instagram DM Bots
Instagram DM bots are really easy to make, and the first thing you want to do is simply go to axiom.ai. This is a great service that literally teaches you how to create an Instagram mass DM bot.
You use that site, follow the tutorial, and by the end of 10 minutes, you can literally have a bot that mass DMs a list of Instagram profiles that you give it, whatever message you want.
This is amazing for mass outreach, and you can sell this bot to marketers or people who want to reach a large audience but don’t have the time to manually DM people one by one by one. I’ve sold a bot similar to this for 500 bucks, and it literally took me 10 minutes to create. I kid you not that Axiom AI makes it super simple.
12. Discord Moderator Bot
Last but not least, a Discord moderator bot. You see, a lot of role management comes into play on Discord. There’s a lot of incoming messages. You want to make sure that no one’s sending some weird messages.
If they are, you block them. And sometimes your moderators are busy, right? Because these are real humans with real lives, they can’t just keep monitoring the Discord.
So instead, if you have a Discord moderator bot that can actually scan these messages and make sure nothing dumb is being sent, if it is, they can block the person and kick them out.
Not only do you save the money and time needed to find moderators and actually hire them, but you have something that is always scanning Discord every single second.
So now, no one will see a weird message because it’ll be blocked instantly, and the person will be kicked out.
If you have a Discord of younger kids and you have some weird messages, then that can get you some serious trouble. I highly recommend a bot like this.
13. Customized Plan Generator
Now, this one is pretty straightforward and it’s applicable to tons of different industries. This is essentially an AI model that generates a customized and personal plan based on the user’s inputs. Let me explain.
First, let’s cover industries. There are a wide number of industries that you can cover with this, but these are my five favorites.
Fitness
You can generate workout plans based on the user’s inputs like their height, weight, gender, as well as the client goals, like where they want to be in their bench press or their squats, and their current metrics.
So if they want to squat 300 pounds and they’re squatting 225 pounds, you can build them a plan based on that.
Nutrition
Second is nutrition, custom tailored diet plans. Now this goes hand in hand with fitness, but I’m thinking more of dietitians and nutritionists here. It can be solely based on the patient’s weight goals, and health and fitness goals, and it can be catered to any issues they have, like if they have diabetes or they have specific dietary restrictions, maybe they’re vegan.
Personal Finance
You can generate a financial plan for someone based on their spending, their credit score, all kinds of things. This is especially helpful for those who aren’t the best with personal finance and just need a little bit of help getting out of a rut.
Travel
Offering personalized itineraries based on what the user wants to do. If they’re more of a party person or a chill-at-home type of person, you can use AI automation to generate those for them. And you can offer the service to travel agencies.
Education
You can create a customized education plan based on a student’s current level and then their needs as well. This is especially useful for coaching programs. And the cool thing is these are just off the top of my head. There are truly no limits what you can do. Now, this is especially important because it’s a massive time saver.
When you take out all of the technicalities, you’re able to better serve your client and get more clients as a result of that. This is really the selling point here with the additional fact that with enough training and data for the AI model, the results will be incredibly accurate, and the plans will be very effective.
It takes out a lot of the thought work, increases the effectiveness of the plan, and saves hours upon hours of time, allowing these coaches, consultants, et cetera, to scale.
What do you need to build something like this?
For this service, all you need is examples from your client’s plans that have worked really well. It could be anything from previous plans from customers to what’s worked the best to FAQs, etc. You can then add these to a Stack AI vector database and train the AI model based on that.
Final Words
So, these are my top picks for the best AI automation agency service you can sell.
You’re definitely going to save people a lot of time, money, and headaches. And ultimately, you’re going to increase their output, which has the secondary effect of increasing their sales.
These are all just a few ideas and great places to start if you’re a beginner.
We’re still very early in the AAA space. But remember, opportunity waits for no one. Every day, more and more people are catching on to this amazing business model and recognizing the power of automation, and the race is on.
With that said, if you take action now, you can capitalize on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Trust me, this is significantly bigger and considerably more valuable than social media marketing agencies.
