There’s a new type of AI business model that is predicted to be the next big thing in online business.
It’s called an ‘AI Automation Agency’, and people are already making $45,000 per month after only a few months of starting out.
What is an AI Automation Agency?
In a nutshell, an AI Automation Agency is a business model where you work with other businesses to help them implement AI in their processes and workflows.
For example, you might help create chatbots, content generation systems and AI workflows for businesses that can be made more efficient using AI.
People are excited about this opportunity because the market is unfathomably large. Think about it… what companies could benefit from becoming more efficient with AI? Every single one of them.
Is starting an AI Automation Agency achievable for me?
If you’re reading this, you’re early to AI. It may not feel like it, but many businesses haven’t even started to consider how they could use AI in their business.
Only one in three US adults has even tried using an AI tool. We’re early folks!
Think how long it took companies to start social media accounts after Facebook and Instagram came out. The same thing is happening with AI.
Companies know about AI, they just don’t know how to implement it yet (especially the smaller companies).
That’s where you come in.
Okay, how do I get started?
Your first step to start an AI Automation Agency is choosing a specific business model.
There are many ways a business could become more efficient and profitable using AI tools. You need to find one specific way you can help a business implement AI, and then get really good at it.
If you’re not sure where to start, then you’re in luck. In this article, we share 5 AI Automation Agency services you can start with very little business and coding experience.
We even show you how you can actually deliver the services to clients, so you can get started right away.
Let’s get into it.
5 AI Automation Agency Services (Best Examples For Beginners)
Idea 1: Personalized Cold Outreach Systems
What’s the problem?
Many businesses use emails to find leads and customers. They spend a lot of money on purchasing leads from lead generation companies. However, response rates are terrible, and many businesses find it difficult to convert leads into paying customers.
What’s the AI solution?
Your job is to help businesses increase conversion rates on their email outreach.
One way to improve responses and conversions is to make the emails more personal. Personalized emails prove time and time again to improve response rates.
Think about it, are you more likely to respond to:
(a) An email that uses your name, refers to some of the impressive work experience you have, and comments on a recent article you posted; or
(b) A generic email that has clearly been sent to 1,000 other people?
Unless you’re a sociopath, the answer should be clear.
Even though personalized emails perform better, most companies don’t do it because it takes up too much time to be a profitable strategy.
But AI can help you write personalized emails at scale.
How can I deliver this service?
- The leads / email addresses arrive on a spreadsheet that includes a link to that person’s LinkedIn account.
- Use an AI no-code tool like Browse AI to scrape data from that person’s LinkedIn profile.
- Use a prompted ChatGPT API to generate a personalized message that includes various personalized information (like their work experience, recent posts etc.).
- Integrate this system with the client’s email / SMS platform.
Idea 2: Staff Training ChatBot
What’s the problem?
Companies that have a high employee turnover (i.e. lots of people starting and quitting or getting fired) spend a lot of resources on employee training.
One example is call centers. Working at a call center is highly stressful because you’re often dealing with customer complaints and have to meet ambitious targets. That means many call center representatives either quit or get fired soon after starting.
Training all these new employees is super expensive. They have to learn about every area of the company, and often have a lot of questions that need to be answered by their managers.
What’s the AI solution?
Many of the questions that new employees asked are repetitive and can easily be answered by a Staff Training ChatBot.
If a new employee wants to know where to find old templates and documents, the chatbot will answer immediately. If a new employee wants to know the procedure if a customer files a complaint, the chatbot will answer immediately.
It’s infinitely more efficient.

Idea 3: Customized Plan Generator
What’s the problem?
Many industries make money by preparing customized plans.
In nutrition and fitness, tailored meal plans and workout schedules cater to individual health goals and lifestyles. Similarly, the finance industry offers personalized investment strategies, retirement plans, and debt solutions, each designed according to a client’s unique financial situation.
However, this level of personalization takes a lot of time and effort to prepare. Until AI came along.
What’s the AI solution?
You can feed an AI chatbot hundreds of examples of previous personalized plans.
Then, all you need to do is add a few key bits of customer information, and it will create a customized plan that draws inspiration from the archive of previous plans – saving countless hours.
How can I deliver this service?
- Collect 100 previous plan examples from your client (let’s use a personal trainer preparing meal plans as an example).
- Add all 100 meal plans to a StackAI vector database. A vector database helps the AI find the most relevant part of a document based on a query.
- Create a chatbot that allows your client to add relevant bits of information about their customer (e.g. they are trying to gain muscle, they are allergic to peanuts, and they are vegan). The chatbot will then produce a personalized plan in seconds.
Idea 4: Onboarding Chat Assistant
What’s the problem?
Client onboarding can often be a complex and time-consuming process for businesses. An inefficient system not only affects the client’s perception but also hampers the business’ ability to scale effectively.
Consider a software-as-a-service (SaaS) company that constantly brings in new customers. Each customer needs to go through a multi-step onboarding process, involving understanding the product features, setting up their account, understanding their contract, and more. It takes a lot of time and support which is costly for the business.
What’s the AI solution?
An AI-powered Onboarding Chat Assistant can simplify the process by quickly and accurately answering common queries, guiding clients through forms and contracts, and offering immediate support throughout the onboarding journey.
How can I deliver this service?
- Start by holding workshops with clients to understand their existing onboarding process in-depth.
- Use this knowledge to develop an AI chatbot that can mimic the process, but more efficiently. Using AI platforms, design the chatbot to be intuitive, interactive, and user-friendly.
- Finally, deploy the chatbot on the client’s website, integrating it with their existing systems for a seamless transition.
Idea 5: Airbnb Guest Support Chat
What’s the problem?
Managing multiple Airbnb properties can be a logistical nightmare for hosts, especially when it comes to handling guest inquiries. Guests often have similar questions: “Where are the keys?”, “What’s the WiFi password?”, “What time is checkout?”.
Answering these repetitive queries across different time zones can be time-consuming and overwhelming for the host.
What’s the AI solution?
An Airbnb Guest Support Chatbot can be an effective solution to this problem. By automating responses to the most common guest inquiries, hosts can focus more on enhancing their properties and guest experiences, while the AI handles the routine tasks.
Hosts can offer 24/7 support to their guests without any added effort, thereby improving guest satisfaction and reducing their own workload.
How can I deliver this service?
- Start by compiling all the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) from the property owner.
- Using AI chatbot platforms, build a chatbot designed to answer these FAQs accurately and promptly.
- Once built, deploy this chatbot on popular messaging platforms like WhatsApp or Telegram, so guests can easily access the chatbot.
