GoHighLevel Agent Studio: build custom AI agents

Agent Studio is HighLevel's builder for custom AI agents. You give an agent instructions, knowledge and tools, such as web search or outside APIs, and it can generate text, images, video or speech and take actions. It's billed pay-per-use on every plan, even AI Employee Unlimited, so it's best for specific jobs the standard Conversation AI and Voice AI don't cover.

When Agent Studio is worth it

Specific, repeatable jobs

Research, report building, content drafts or data lookups that follow the same steps every time.

Connecting outside data

Agents that call an outside API or search the web for current information.

Not for basic lead replies

For answering and booking leads, Conversation AI and Voice AI are simpler and can be covered by a flat AI plan.

Watch the logs

Review agent logs and set usage limits so a busy agent doesn't run up costs.

Two ways to get it running

Custom agents are powerful, but most businesses get more from a well-built follow-up and booking system first.
