TABLE OF CONTENTS


What is Ask AI Assistant?


Ask AI is HighLevel's built-in AI workspace  a copilot with conversational interface that lets users create content, retrieve data, take action on platform features, and get answers using plain language. Instead of navigating through multiple menus and screens, users can describe what they want to do in a single prompt and Ask AI handles it.

Ask AI is deeply integrated with HighLevel's platform. It can read data, create records, update settings, generate content, manage contacts, run bulk actions, and coordinate across dozens of modules all from one chat interface. It supports both typed prompts and voice input, and is available in a sidebar panel or in a full-screen workspace for focused, high-volume work. It is also available on the LeadConnector app on mobile.


Note: To generate personalized or branded content, configure your Brand Voice in Marketing > Branded Content > Brand Voice before using Ask AI for content tasks.

Reading Ask AI Responses


Ask AI responses appear in the conversation view and may include paragraphs, headings, bullet points, numbered steps, structured tables, interactive question inputs, charts, data tables, and copyable code blocks. Responses are formatted to make longer answers easier to scan and act on.

For multi-step tasks, Ask AI displays a live task tracker that shows which steps are complete, in progress, or pending  so users always know where a complex action stands.

Some structured responses may appear in collapsible cards to keep longer conversations organized. Users can expand details only when needed.




The Ask AI sidebar helps users manage conversations from one place. Users can review previous sessions, return to an existing conversation, or start a new chat when they want to begin a separate task.


If no conversations are available yet, the sidebar empty state helps users understand that they can begin by starting a new conversation or using a suggested prompt.


How to Use Ask AI Assistant


Ask AI can be opened from both Agency and Sub-account views, giving users quick access to AI-powered assistance wherever they are working in HighLevel. Users can launch Ask AI from the top navigation bar for fast access or from the left sidebar when they want to open the dedicated Ask AI workspace.


Access Ask AI from the Top Navigation


The top navigation route is useful when users want quick access to Ask AI from anywhere in HighLevel. This is the fastest way to open the assistant while working in another area of the platform.


  1. Click on the Ask AI icon in the top navigation bar.



  2. Type in or Speak what you need: content, a new community, ideas, or questions.



  3. The bot will guide you or respond instantly with what you asked for.



    You can start with something like:

    1. “Give me blog post ideas about SMS marketing.”

    2. “Write a Facebook ad post using my brand voice.”

    3. “Help me set up a community for local business owners.”

  4. You can also view the chat history, and go back to older chats directly by toggle next to the full-screen toggle.



Access Ask AI from the Left Sidebar


Ask AI opens in a full-screen workspace, so it is not a chatbot tucked in a corner. Use it to focus on real work and complete higher-volume tasks without leaving HighLevel. You can access Ask AI from the left navigation at both the Agency and the Sub-account level.


1. In your account, look at the left navigation panel.

2. Click Ask AI (it appears as a dedicated menu item).
