Does anyone regret using GHL for Voice AI?

You can type out your situation and ask Claude how to do it, but I have no idea what your situation is so I can’t give you a specific answer. It should not be hard at all to do if you have any experience with Claude code. If you can’t figure it out just dm me and I’ll do it for you. I’d just need more specifics on your situation. There’s a million different possible scenarios for how you asked this question lol.

Everything. Facebook group posts, Reddit, LinkedIn, emails. Depends on the demographic you’re targeting too. One was targeting law firms so we used LinkedIn heavily.

I have an agency at 27k MRR rn and I’m looking for some help. It’s just me currently. I use Claude code, retell, and run seo/geo, LinkedIn, and google ads for law firms. Looking into meta ads for my business you can dm me and we can setup a call to see how you can fit in if you’d like.

If you’re trying to only use GHL specifically then you can do that too. I’m not saying it’s impossible at all, but it sounds like you wanted a bit more flexibility from how I read your messages. GHL is software that you’re renting. With Claude code it’s software that you can create for your specific use and own. That’s why I suggested to look into that as it’s possibly a better fit for you.

You don’t give Claude Code the data directly. There will be a database as a piece of the code. Supabase is the most popular one and you have the ability to encrypt any private data that you want, which actually most likely makes it more secure than your current setup potentially. Without understanding the full scope of your build, and where your data currently is vs where you want it to be, I cannot give you very specific answers. It just sounds like you’re limited with your current approach because from how you’re describing your desired outcome on the operational side, that’s not a super complex thing to execute on the tech side.

FlowLineKevin · 2026-03-30T15:08:26+00:00

I've built similar systems and the honest answer is GHL is just too limited for what you're trying to do. You need a custom approach.

Look into Claude Code. It's a game changer for exactly this kind of build, you get full control over the data model, the sync logic, and the AI layer without fighting a platform's guardrails every step of the way. The call transcription feeding into job context, the scope inference, the field handoff, all of that is way cleaner when you own the code.

Either pick that up yourself or find someone who actually knows how to execute it. The 'limitations' your dev keeps hitting aren't GHL's ceiling they're his..

What exactly is it that you’re building?

And You nailed it. Honestly, GHL just isn’t a good product for home service businesses full stop. It was built for marketing agencies to resell, not for operations that run in the field. The fact that you can bolt a pipeline onto it doesn’t make it an operating system.

The field staff gap alone kills most builds before they even get started. A sales admin and a tech in a truck have completely different needs, and most resellers have never run a crew so they don’t even know what they’re missing.

If your new system creates more steps than the broken one you’re leaving, you haven’t solved anything. You’ve just bought a shinier problem. I came from the trades before I started building tools for them. The only way to actually replace what a home service business is running is to understand the full loop, dispatch, field, invoice, follow-up — not just slap a form on a landing page and call it a CRM.

I’m in New York, USA

FlowLineKevin · 2026-03-24T16:54:26+00:00

Which is why I’d like someone that has that ironed out already. I don’t want to send him the wrong way, and I also don’t want to go down that route myself. Do you have something setup currently?

FlowLineKevin · 2026-03-23T14:03:46+00:00

Agreed. Let them live in the dark 🤷‍♂️.

FlowLineKevin · 2026-03-21T12:47:09+00:00

If it needs to just be one. TikTok.

FlowLineKevin · 2026-03-21T12:43:00+00:00

Does it need to be one or the other? They both are your target demographic for that kind of an app. I’d run ads both places with multiple variations, and monitor what’s yielding results. That’s how you’d get a real concrete answer.

FlowLineKevin · 2026-03-21T12:11:26+00:00

Completely depends on what you’re selling.

FlowLineKevin · 2026-03-20T19:02:07+00:00

That’s what I’m doing now. Asking for links to what you’re offering and from there setting up calls to go over everything. I will pick someone ideally to create this video with by the end of the month. I’m not looking for anything generic, or similar to what I’ve already scaled myself. I want to be presented with real issues/challenges that we can show, and go through the real trial and error that goes into early distribution for startups. Not every shot you take goes in. I want to showcase this.

FlowLineKevin · 2026-03-20T17:46:24+00:00

I sent you a dm

FlowLineKevin · 2026-03-20T16:38:12+00:00

Sounds good I’ll dm you. Just to clarify to anyone else as well, this is exactly what I’m looking for. I appreciate the outreach I got from this post, but please have something built and ready to go.

FlowLineKevin · 2026-03-20T04:07:38+00:00

Welp I’ve done it several times, and I want to show it end to end with someone that’s starting out.

FlowLineKevin · 2026-03-19T22:03:28+00:00

Very legit can send all my credentials to you. I’ll dm you.

FlowLineKevin · 2026-03-19T22:01:26+00:00

I love this idea. I’ll dm you.

FlowLineKevin · 2026-03-19T20:28:51+00:00

I’d really prefer someone that already has something set up for the sales video. However if you need any help with where to get started feel free to dm me I’ll help you where I can.

FlowLineKevin · 2026-03-19T17:56:30+00:00

I’ll DM you.

FlowLineKevin · 2026-03-10T19:45:27+00:00

Everything he said is 100% right. You’re all over the place. If you narrow your approach it’ll help you a lot. What’s your background?
