What are AI agents for business and how do they work?
+
AI agents for business are software programs that handle specific tasks autonomously — responding to leads, qualifying prospects, booking appointments, or answering customer questions — without human intervention. MBC Group builds custom AI agents inside Aiden OS that are trained on your specific business knowledge, products, and sales process. They use large language models to understand natural language, follow a defined workflow (like the ADAPT qualification sequence), and integrate with your CRM, calendar, and messaging tools to take real action.
How is a custom AI agent different from a generic chatbot?
+
Generic chatbots follow rigid scripts and fail when conversations go off-path. Custom AI agents built by MBC Group are trained on your actual business data — your offers, FAQs, case studies, and objections — so they respond naturally to any question a real prospect would ask. They're also action-capable: they can qualify leads using a defined framework, book meetings on your calendar, update your CRM, and send follow-up messages automatically. A chatbot answers questions. An AI agent moves the deal forward.
What types of AI agents does MBC Group build?
+
MBC Group builds several types of AI agents for small and mid-size businesses: Sales qualification agents (using the ADAPT framework), customer service agents (handling inbound questions 24/7), lead nurture agents (following up via SMS and email), appointment booking agents (syncing directly to your calendar), and voice AI agents (for phone-based outreach and intake). All agents are built inside Aiden OS and can be combined — for example, a single agent that qualifies a lead, books a call, and sends a confirmation in the same conversation.
How long does it take to build and deploy an AI agent?
+
Most AI agents are live within two weeks of kickoff. The process starts with a strategy session to map your ideal lead flow and qualification criteria, followed by training the agent on your knowledge base, setting up integrations with your tools, and testing against real scenarios before go-live. Unlike custom software builds, Aiden OS provides the underlying infrastructure — so we're customizing and training, not building from scratch. Complex multi-agent workflows may take three to four weeks.
How much does AI agent development cost for a small business?
+
AI agent development at MBC Group is included in your Aiden OS plan. The Launch plan starts at $998/month, Growth at $1,800/month, and Scale is custom-priced based on agent count and conversation volume. There's no large upfront setup fee — you start your 14-day free trial, and your dedicated Marketing Manager handles the full build and deployment. Ad spend and third-party tool costs (like your CRM or calendar software) are separate.
What tools and platforms do your AI agents integrate with?
+
Aiden OS AI agents integrate with GoHighLevel (CRM, SMS, email, calendar), Google Calendar, Calendly, Meta (Facebook/Instagram DMs), website live chat, and phone/SMS via Twilio. For businesses on other CRMs — HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive — custom integrations are available in the Scale plan. Your agent can read from and write to your CRM, send outbound messages, book calendar events, and escalate to a human rep when appropriate — all without manual work on your end.
