HighLevel Managed Agents | Full Build | Testing | Honest Review

A complete build of an AI employee using HighLevel Managed Agents (aka "Super Agents"), tested live and reviewed. One agent handles the whole lead conversation: replies by text and email in seconds, follows up when the lead goes quiet, answers questions from a knowledge base, offers calendar slots and books the appointment. The first run failed in five places. Each failure is shown, explained and fixed. Then pricing, how Managed Agents compare to the workflow AI agent and Conversation AI, and whether this is ready for a real client.
