# botbuilds > botbuilds is the build team for GoHighLevel agencies. Ask in Slack and it builds workflows, funnels and AI assistants inside your GoHighLevel and Assistable. botbuilds (always written in lower case) is operated by Talamacus Consulting LLC, trading as botbuilds. It is an official partner of Assistable. Contact: hello@botbuilds.com. ## How it works - An agency books a call with the botbuilds team. The team shows how it works, how botbuilds would support that agency and what the agency could save. If it's a fit, the agency is onboarded, often the same day. - The agency connects its GoHighLevel agency account and Assistable, and its team joins a private channel in the botbuilds Slack workspace. - The agency asks for a build in Slack. botbuilds asks scoping questions, posts a plan and a price, and builds once approved: workflows, funnels, pipelines, emails, knowledge bases, and AI voice and chat assistants, inside the right sub-account. - Publishing, sending and deleting wait for a person on the agency's team to approve. On the Growth plan, a human build team handles complex or risky builds. ## Pricing Builds are paid for from a credit balance; each build shows its price before it starts. Plan credit refreshes monthly. No seats, no contracts. - Free: $0. $10 of build credit to test it. - Starter: $197 / month. $150 of build credit, refreshed every month. AI builds only. - Growth: $397 / month. $300 of build credit, refreshed every month, plus our human team. - Top-ups: $25, $50, $100, $250. Top-up credit does not expire. Guarantee: if an agency goes ahead and isn't set up and running builds the same day, botbuilds adds $100 of build credit. ## Pages - [Home](https://www.botbuilds.com/): what botbuilds builds, how it works, reviews and FAQ - [Pricing](https://www.botbuilds.com/pricing/): plans, credit and top-ups - [Compare](https://www.botbuilds.com/compare/): botbuilds vs VAs, in-house hires, ChatGPT or Claude, and doing it yourself - [Book a call](https://www.botbuilds.com/book/): book a 45-minute call with the botbuilds team - [Privacy policy](https://www.botbuilds.com/privacy/) - [Terms of service](https://www.botbuilds.com/terms/) ## FAQ ### What is botbuilds, exactly? A build team for GoHighLevel agencies that you talk to in a private channel in our Slack. You describe what a client needs, botbuilds plans it, shows you the price, and builds it inside your GoHighLevel and Assistable accounts. ### Is botbuilds just AI? No. There's a full human team behind it. Everyday builds are done by botbuilds and go live once you approve them in the thread. On Growth, anything risky or more complex that the AI can't fully handle, like integrations and edge cases, our team takes on personally, with Nate on hand, in the same thread. So it's never AI running loose on your clients' accounts. ### Why not just use ChatGPT or Claude myself? General AI tools only reach what's publicly available. As an authorised Assistable partner, botbuilds runs on far deeper access than the public API and MCP, and it's purpose-built for agency fulfilment in GoHighLevel and Assistable. There's constant development behind the scenes, and it learns from every build. And it doesn't just tell you the steps: it does the build inside your accounts, tests it and shows you. ### Do I need to install anything in my Slack? No. Your agency gets a private channel in our Slack workspace. You and your team just accept the invite, then ask for builds there. Only your team, botbuilds and our build team can see it. ### Are you connected to Assistable? Yes. botbuilds is an official Assistable partner. We work directly with Assistable's developers, so when your agency needs something from the product, we push for it on your behalf. ### Do I need Assistable? Yes, and the best way is through us. As an official partner, botbuilds gives you its own Assistable agency account: the same platform, with better monthly rates on your sub-accounts than going to Assistable directly, built for agencies. We migrate your clients for free. ### What happens if one of my clients hits a bug in Assistable? You tell us in your Slack channel. Because we work directly with Assistable's developers, we skip the normal support and bug queue and get it in front of the right person fast. You get quicker support through botbuilds than going anywhere else. ### Is a botbuilds Assistable account the same as going direct? It's the same Assistable platform, with every feature. The difference is that your account is with botbuilds, not Assistable: you get better monthly sub-account rates, white-label and rebilling, one agency account for all your clients, and our team to build and support it in your Slack channel. ### How does it work across all my sub-accounts? You connect your agency once. From then on botbuilds can work in any of your sub-accounts, so you don't hand over keys or logins client by client. Every build is tied to the sub-account it was for, so you can see what changed where. ### Is it safe to give it access? botbuilds works through a dedicated builder user that you add to your agency and can remove at any time. Publishing, sending and deleting always wait for a person to approve, and emails come to you as previews first. ### What if a build fails, or it's something botbuilds can't do? Failed builds are free. On Growth, if a build needs a human, our build team picks it up in the same Slack thread, so you never start over. On Starter, botbuilds tells you what it couldn't do, so you can handle it or move to Growth. ### What's the difference between Starter and Growth? Starter ($197/month) is AI builds only, with $150 of build credit each month. Growth ($397/month) comes with $300 of credit, our human team for risky and complex builds, priority in your Slack channel and a direct line to Nate. ### How is a build priced? Each build is priced by how much work it takes, and you see the estimate in Slack before it starts. The cost comes out of your credit balance. If a build is going to run well over the estimate, botbuilds asks first. ### What does "live the same day" mean? By the end of the day you go ahead with us, your agency is connected, your team is in your channel in our Slack, and you can ask for builds. If we miss that, we add $100 of build credit to your account. ### Does credit expire? Your plan credit refreshes every month, so you start each month with a full balance. Unused plan credit doesn't carry over. Need more in a busy month? Top up any time. Credit you add never expires. ### Can my whole team use it? Yes. Invite as many of your team into your channel as you like. Plans cover your whole agency and all its sub-accounts, with no per-seat fees.
