How to hire an AI developer for your business

Key takeaways

  • Define the problem
  • Check practical experience
  • Plan for safety and maintenance

Define the problem

Write down the task you want improved, such as answering enquiries, qualifying leads or reducing manual data entry.

Check practical experience

Ask for examples of chatbots, agents or automations they have built, and how they handled errors and edge cases.

Plan for safety and maintenance

Agree how responses are reviewed, when the AI hands over to a person and who monitors it after launch.

Frequently asked questions

What does an AI developer build for a business?

Typical projects include chatbots that answer questions and book appointments, agents that qualify leads, automations that connect your tools and custom internal tools that use AI model APIs.

Do I need an AI developer or an automation specialist?

If you need custom logic, integrations or AI agents, an AI developer is the better fit. For standard follow-up and reminders, an automation specialist inside GoHighLevel is often enough.
