Launch AIO supports every major way modern customers reach out, so you can meet people where they already are, without juggling eight different apps.

Here’s what that actually means:

SMS & MMS (Text Messaging):

Send and receive normal text messages, plus picture messages (great for photos, screenshots, menus, quotes, before/after, documents, and quick visual updates).

Email:

Full two-way email communication, perfect for longer conversations, proposals, receipts, attachments, and more formal follow-ups.

Phone Calls & Voicemail:

Make and receive calls inside the platform, track call history, record calls (where allowed), and manage voicemail so nothing gets missed.

Web Chat:

A live chat widget on your website that lets visitors message you instantly, and those chats are saved to their contact record like any other conversation.

Facebook Messenger:

Manage Facebook DMs in the same place you handle texts and emails, so leads from ads or your page don’t get buried in social inboxes.

Instagram DMs:

Centralize Instagram messages so your team can respond fast, stay consistent, and keep the full customer history attached to the contact.

Google Business Messages:

When someone finds you on Google Search or Maps and clicks “Message,” those conversations can come straight into Launch AIO.

WhatsApp:

Message customers on one of the most widely used apps in the world, especially helpful for international audiences and mobile-first customers.

The best part is you don’t manage these channels separately. Every message, across every channel, flows into one unified inbox tied to the contact, so you always see the full history and can respond from one place without losing context or missing opportunities.

A unified inbox means every conversation with every customer lives in one place, finally.

Imagine logging into a single desktop or mobile app and instantly seeing all your messages, text messages, emails, website chats, Facebook and Instagram DMs, Google

Business messages, WhatsApp conversations, and more, all organized by contact. No tab switching. No guessing who replied where. No missed messages buried in a platform you forgot to check.

Every conversation is tied directly to the contact record, so you don’t just see the last message. You see the full history, past conversations, notes, appointments, purchases, tags, and activity, all in one view. You know exactly who you’re talking to, what they’ve asked before, and where they are in your process before you ever reply.

From that same screen, you can respond back through the original channel with a click. Text back a text. Reply to an email. Answer a DM. All without leaving the inbox or juggling multiple logins. This alone eliminates duplicated responses, internal confusion, and the “sorry, I didn’t see that” moments that quietly cost businesses money every day.

Now here’s where it becomes truly powerful.

That same unified inbox can be supported by trained AI that works for you 24 hours a day. AI assistants can respond instantly with articulate, human-like conversations, answer common questions, qualify leads, book appointments, update order statuses, route conversations, and even move deals forward, all while your team is offline or focused elsewhere.

To your customers, it doesn’t feel like automation. It feels like your business is always available, always informed, and always responsive.

This is the future of customer communication. One inbox. One source of truth. One place to see everything, respond to everything, and never miss an opportunity again.

You don’t have to give up your existing business number, but Launch AIO does require a number inside the platform to handle calls, texts, and automations correctly.

Here’s how it works in plain terms.

OPTION 1 - Use a new Launch number (most common): Most businesses choose to add a dedicated phone number inside Launch AIO. This number is what powers all messaging, calling, AI voice, and automations. It comes with a very small monthly cost, typically under $1 to $5 depending on the number type.

The important part is this:

That Launch number can forward calls to your existing business number, so your customers still reach you exactly where they always have. From their perspective, nothing changes. Behind the scenes, Launch AIO gains the ability to track calls, send texts, trigger automations, and log conversations properly.

This option is fast, flexible, and avoids downtime.

Option 2: Port your existing number into Launch AIO

If you want everything fully consolidated, you can also port your existing business number into Launch AIO. This means your current number becomes the number used for all calls, texts, and automations inside the platform.

Porting keeps your branding and number consistency intact, but it does take some coordination and time, since carriers control the process. We guide you through it if you choose this route.

Why a Launch number is required:

To automate calls, texts, missed-call follow-ups, AI voice, and conversation tracking, the platform must control the number at the carrier level. This isn’t a Launch requirement, it’s how telecom systems work across the industry.

The good news is you don’t lose your number, your customers don’t get confused, and you gain full visibility and automation over every call and message.

Most clients start with a Launch number for speed, then decide later whether porting makes sense. Either way, you stay reachable, and your communication becomes far more powerful and organized.

This is one of the most common concerns, and it’s a fair question, especially with AI becoming more visible.

The short answer is no, when it’s done correctly, customers don’t experience it as “automation” at all. They experience it as a business that is fast, organized, and consistently responsive.

Across chat, SMS, email, Facebook Messenger, Instagram DMs, Google Business Messages, and WhatsApp, AI interactions feel naturally conversational and human. Messages are triggered by real actions, personalized using real customer data, and delivered instantly. From the customer’s perspective, it simply feels like your business is paying attention.

Voice AI deserves special mention. This is newer technology, but Launch AIO uses industry-leading voice models that are rapidly improving and, in many cases, already close to indistinguishable from a human for common use cases. These AI voice agents can answer missed calls, qualify leads, ask structured questions, book appointments, route calls, and follow up automatically, without human intervention.

That said, honesty matters. Voice AI is incredibly powerful, but it is still evolving. In complex, unscripted conversations, it may occasionally require tuning or refinement. That’s not a flaw, it’s the reality of cutting-edge technology. When properly configured, it handles high-volume, repetitive conversations far more consistently than a human ever could.

The quality of the experience ultimately depends on how well the AI is trained for your specific business.

When you become a client and upgrade to the AI Workforce plan, we don’t just turn on a generic bot. We ask detailed questions about your business, your services, your tone, your processes, your FAQs, and how you want conversations handled. The depth and quality of those answers directly shape how natural and authentic the AI feels.

The more context it has, the better it performs.

Good automation feels invisible. Bad automation feels robotic.

Launch AIO is built to deliver the former.

When set up correctly, customers don’t feel like they’re talking to software. They feel like they’re dealing with a business that responds instantly, follows up consistently, and never drops the ball.

Almost everything that normally slips through the cracks or drains your team’s time can be automated.

At a basic level, you can automate things like lead follow-ups, missed call texts, appointment confirmations, reminders, review requests, onboarding messages, internal alerts, and long-term nurture campaigns. These alone eliminate most of the “I meant to follow up” moments that cost businesses revenue.

But Launch AIO goes much deeper than simple sequences.

Automations can react in real time to what people actually do, not just when a timer expires. A form submission can trigger instant outreach. A missed call can trigger a text and an AI voice callback. An appointment booking can trigger confirmations, reminders, internal notifications, and post-appointment follow-ups. A payment can update a pipeline, unlock content, notify your team, and start onboarding, all automatically.

You can also automate what happens as opportunities move through your sales process. When a deal changes stages, Launch AIO can send messages, assign tasks, alert team members, or change the next steps without anyone touching a keyboard.

The system supports conditional logic, meaning automations can think. If someone replies, it can stop. If they don’t, it can escalate. If they book, it pivots. If they pay, it advances. This prevents over-messaging and keeps communication relevant and human.

The result is a business that responds instantly, follows up consistently, and stays organized automatically, even when you’re busy, offline, or scaling fast. You’re not just automating tasks, you’re automating momentum.

AI inside Launch AIO doesn’t guess, scrape the internet blindly, or invent answers. It responds based on the information you intentionally give it and the context it can see inside your system.

Training starts during onboarding. When you become a client, we ask detailed questions about your business, services, offers, policies, tone, and how you want conversations handled. That information becomes the foundation for how the AI understands your business and how it should communicate on your behalf.

From there, AI can be trained using several controlled, business-safe data sources:

- Your website and pages (via approved web crawling), so it understands how you describe your services publicly

- Custom FAQs and Q&A documents, where you define exact, approved answers

- Uploaded documents like PDFs, policies, menus, service descriptions, or internal knowledge

- CRM data, such as contact names, tags, pipeline stages, appointments, and custom fields

- Conversation context, meaning what the customer has already asked, booked, or completed

This allows the AI to answer questions accurately and consistently, using your language, not generic responses.

Just as important, AI in Launch is context-aware. It doesn’t treat every message like a brand-new conversation. It can remember what’s already happened, avoid repeating steps, recognize when an appointment is booked, and adjust its responses accordingly. That’s why interactions feel natural instead of robotic.

You also control how much autonomy the AI has. It can:

- Suggest replies for humans to review

- Fully respond to common questions on its own

- Qualify leads before handing them to your team

- Book appointments only when criteria are met

- Escalate to a human when conversations become complex

The quality of AI responses directly reflects the quality of the training data. The more clarity, detail, and context you provide, the more accurate and human the AI becomes. That’s why setup matters, and why we guide this process instead of just flipping a switch.

Most importantly, your data stays your data. AI only uses information inside your account and approved sources. It does not learn from other businesses, share data across accounts, or access private information outside what you explicitly connect.

In short, AI in Launch AIO isn’t a black box. It’s a trainable digital team member that learns your business, speaks your language, follows your rules, and works within the boundaries you define. When trained properly, it doesn’t just answer questions, it represents your business the way you would.

Launch AIO is designed with the assumption that AI should be controlled, guided, and supervised, not left to improvise. The platform includes multiple layers of safeguards to ensure AI stays accurate, compliant, and aligned with your brand.

First, AI only uses approved data sources. It does not pull random information from the internet or make assumptions. Responses are generated from your training inputs, such as your website, FAQs, documents, knowledge base, and CRM data. If something is not in those sources, the AI is instructed to ask for clarification or hand the conversation to a human instead of guessing.

Second, brand voice and behavior rules are explicitly defined. You control tone, personality, formality, and boundaries. Whether you want the AI to sound friendly, professional, concise, or conversational, those rules are built directly into the AI’s instructions. This prevents off-brand language, over-promising, or responses that don’t match how you want your business represented.

Third, AI behavior is role-based and intent-based. The AI doesn’t respond the same way in every situation. Different intents like support questions, lead qualification, booking, or follow-ups each have their own rules, prompts, and limits. That keeps responses focused and prevents the AI from drifting into areas it shouldn’t handle.

Fourth, human oversight is always available. You can choose whether AI:

- Suggests replies for humans to approve

- Responds automatically only to approved scenarios

- Fully handles conversations with automatic handoff rules

At any point, AI can pause, transfer the conversation to a team member, or trigger a workflow instead of continuing on its own.

Fifth, conversation limits and fail-safes are built in. You can cap how many messages AI can send, add response delays to feel more natural, restrict channels, enforce quiet hours, and define stop conditions. If a conversation hits uncertainty, negative sentiment, or edge cases, the system can escalate rather than continue.

Finally, everything is logged and reviewable. AI actions, messages, and handoffs are visible in the conversation history. You can test responses before going live, rate AI outputs, refine training data, and continuously improve accuracy over time. Nothing happens invisibly or without the ability to intervene.

The philosophy is simple:

AI should support your business, not risk it.

Launch AIO treats AI like a trained employee with guardrails, policies, supervision, and escalation paths. That’s what allows you to confidently use AI at scale while protecting your brand, your customers, and your reputation.

Short answer, almost anything that normally requires manual effort, reminders, follow-ups, or human memory can be automated inside Launch AIO.

At its core, Launch AIO is designed to automate actions, decisions, and outcomes, not just send messages on a timer. Automations can trigger based on real behavior like form submissions, missed calls, replies, bookings, payments, pipeline changes, tags, time delays, or AI-detected intent.

Here’s how that plays out in real business terms.

The important thing to understand is this:

Launch AIO doesn’t just automate messages. It automates decisions, timing, follow-through, and consistency.

If there’s a step in your business that depends on someone remembering to do something, checking a spreadsheet, sending a reminder, or following up “later,” it can almost always be automated.

That’s how businesses stop leaking revenue, stop dropping leads, and stop relying on human memory to run critical processes.

It’s extremely flexible, and that’s what makes it powerful.

Automation in Launch AIO isn’t a one-size-fits-all blast system. It adapts to real behavior in real time. You can use conditional logic, branching paths, delays, and goals so the system responds differently based on what a person actually does.

- If someone replies, automation can stop.

- If they don’t, it can follow up.

- If they book, it pivots to reminders and prep.

- If they pay, it moves them forward automatically.

This means people aren’t treated like numbers, they’re treated like individuals moving through a journey.

You control the flow, the timing, and the logic, so communication feels intentional instead of repetitive. The system works quietly in the background, adjusting itself as situations change, while you stay focused on higher-value work.

Good automation doesn’t feel rigid. It feels responsive, thoughtful, and human. Launch AIO was built specifically to deliver that experience.

Launch AIO offers powerful AI capabilities, but they’re intentionally plan-based and optional, not forced. AI is available on the Workforce AI and Elite plans. The A La Carte and Essentials plans do not include AI features.

That matters because AI isn’t meant to be a novelty here. It’s designed to act like a digital workforce that supports your team, removes repetitive work, and improves speed and consistency, without replacing human judgment.

Here’s the simple, high-level breakdown of what AI does inside Launch AIO.

1. AI Assistance Inside the Platform

Launch AIO includes an in-app AI assistant that helps you work faster and smarter without leaving the system. You can ask it questions, generate content, refine messaging, brainstorm campaigns, and get guidance using natural language instead of digging through menus or settings.

It understands your context, uses your saved brand voice, and focuses on producing usable outputs, not generic explanations. Think of it as an always-available operator that helps you create, decide, and move forward quickly.

2. AI-Powered Conversations (Chat + Messaging)

AI can assist or fully handle customer conversations across supported channels like SMS, web chat, and social messaging.

You control how it behaves:

- Suggestive mode gives your team AI-written reply suggestions they can approve or edit.

- Auto-pilot mode allows AI to respond automatically based on rules, intent, and training.

- Hybrid mode blends automation with human handoff when conversations become complex.

AI can answer common questions, guide people to the next step, collect information, qualify leads, and book appointments, all while maintaining conversation context and CRM awareness.

3. AI Lead Qualification & Intent Detection

Instead of sending every lead to your sales team, AI can pre-qualify prospects automatically. It asks structured questions, interprets free-text answers, scores lead quality, and routes contacts based on intent, readiness, or sentiment.

This means:

- High-intent leads get fast attention

- Low-intent leads are nurtured automatically

- Sales teams spend time on the right conversations

AI can also detect sentiment (positive, neutral, negative) and trigger the appropriate follow-up or escalation without manual rules.

4. AI Voice Agents (Optional, Advanced)

On higher-tier plans, Launch AIO includes AI voice agents that can answer inbound calls, handle missed calls, ask questions, book appointments, route callers, and follow up automatically, even after hours.

These agents are trainable, multilingual, and deeply integrated with your CRM and workflows. They’re designed to handle volume and consistency, not replace human sales or support where nuance matters.

5. AI Memory, Knowledge & Handoffs

AI inside Launch AIO isn’t “stateless.” It can remember conversation context, reference CRM data, pull answers from your knowledge base, and avoid repeating steps that have already been completed.

When needed, it can seamlessly hand conversations off to:

- A live team member

- Another AI agent

- A workflow or inbox

The customer never has to repeat themselves.

Important Billing Note: Most AI features use incremental, usage-based billing on top of your plan cost. This means you only pay for AI activity you actually use, such as messages handled, voice minutes, or AI executions. You maintain full visibility and control over usage at all times.

The Philosophy Behind AI in Launch AIO

AI in Launch AIO is not about replacing people. It’s about removing friction.

It handles speed, consistency, qualification, routing, and repetition so your team can focus on real conversations, decisions, and growth. You decide where AI helps, where humans step in, and how the two work together.

Used correctly, AI doesn’t make your business feel automated. It makes your business feel responsive, organized, and always on.
