How to Start an AI Chatbot Agency and Make Money

An AI chatbot agency is a focused version of the AI agency model — you specialize in building and deploying chatbots for businesses. Chatbots handle customer support, lead capture, appointment booking, and FAQs 24/7. Businesses are desperate for this because they're losing leads to slow response times.
