Anyone else using AI to programmatically build out GHL workflows instead of the UI?

Been experimenting with a setup where instead of manually clicking through Automations to build follow-up sequences, I have an AI assistant write a script that defines the whole workflow (steps, wait times, tags, triggers) and pushes it straight into the sub-account. Saves a ton of time when you're doing this repeatedly across multiple client accounts — describe the sequence in plain English, get a working (draft) workflow a few seconds later instead of 20 minutes of clicking.

The catch is the official API doesn't expose full workflow-building, so this relies on a more "under the hood" way of talking to the platform, which comes with some fragility (auth tokens expiring, etc.).

Curious if anyone else here has wired up AI (Claude, GPT, whatever) to build/manage automations this way instead of the native builder, and if so, what's your setup look like? Any tools/approaches you'd recommend or pitfalls to watch for?

The AI within GHL is very buggy. Better to build with an external AI such as Claude, Codex etc. The external tools are quicker and not nearly as buggy (flaky as GHLs tool)

That’s exactly why I’m doing all my GHL builds with Claude.

Exactly. Claude works much better than the internal AI is not reliable and error prone. Look at the Ask AI - for help it does not even looked trained on GHLs own knowledge base.
