I love when bots do what humans hate doing, like answering repetitive questions or following up with cold leads.
But let’s be real: if you’ve ever messed around with HighLevel’s AI Voice Agent, you know it can either feel ✨ magical or completely out of control.
The difference? How you write (and structure) your scripts.
And that’s exactly what we’re diving into today, how to use Advanced Mode the right way so your AI agents don’t sound like confused interns on their first day.
The Problem Most People Run Into…
Here’s what I see all the time:
🧩 You load one giant knowledge base with a hundred topics
🤖 You set one AI bot to handle all of it
📞 It goes live… and suddenly it’s giving weird, irrelevant answers to simple questions
Why? Because you built a jack-of-all-trades bot.
And just like in real life, those rarely turn into masters of anything.
The Fix? Advanced Mode (Your New Best Friend)
If you want your AI Voice Agents to actually act like pros, you’ve gotta embrace Advanced Mode.
I know — it sounds scary. But it’s not.
Once you open it up, here’s what you’ll want to focus on:
Break Your Script Into Sections
Instead of dumping everything in one blob, split it up like this:
- 💬 FAQs: Clear, concise answers to the most common questions
- 🧠 Main Agent Rules: How the AI should behave (tone, escalation rules, etc.)
- 🎯 Goal-Specific Prompts: What it’s ultimately trying to get the user to do
Keeping those separate keeps your bot focused and way less likely to hallucinate (aka make up random nonsense).
Build Industry-Specific Bots
Please don’t try to make one bot work for roofing, medspas, law firms, and dentists.
🔥 Instead:
Make smaller, specialized bots.
They’re easier to test, they sound smarter, and they perform 10x better.
Want a medspa bot? Build it to speak only like a medspa receptionist. Need one for real estate? Different tone, different knowledge base.
Trust me: narrow > broad when it comes to AI.
Test As You Go
This one’s non-negotiable:
Every time you make a change in Advanced Mode → run a quick test.
🎙️ Fire up a demo call.
🧪 Try different user questions.
📌 Make sure the bot’s responses still align with your goals.
Testing each piece helps you catch errors early, instead of launching something that sounds like a bad improv scene.
Pro Tip: Use Focused Knowledge Bases
One of the biggest upgrades you can make?
Stop using one giant knowledge base for every bot.
🪄 Instead, create mini knowledge bases tailored to:
- 💼 The industry
- 🧾 The specific product/service
- 🧍 The persona you’re speaking to
This keeps your AI tight, on message, and super efficient.
The Bottom Line?
AI Voice Agents are incredible, when used correctly.
With Advanced Mode, you can stop winging it and start designing bots that actually convert.
