Summer of AI - Decouple Free AI Assistants from the AI Agents Trial, and Fix the Agency Opt-In Structure
M
Marshall Watts
This promotion bundles two structurally different offers into a single opt-in flow with no way to separate them:
- AI Assistants (Ask AI, AI Studio, Workflow AI, Forms AI, Email AI, Funnel AI): Free through August 31st, no billing trigger
- AI Agents (Conversations AI, Voice AI, Reviews AI, Content AI): 30-day free trial with a billing trigger at the end
In Step 2 of the opt-in wizard, the only options are "No thanks, I don't want 60 days free" or "Yes - I want 60 days free AI." There is no option to activate the free AI Assistants without also starting the AI Agents trial clock. These are different products with different billing consequences and they need separate opt-in paths.
The Growth Plan Makes No Sense for Agency Owners
The $50/mo AI Employee Growth plan has a fixed price with no markup ability for white-label agency owners. There is no business case to promote or recommend a product I cannot make margin on. If the intent is for agency owners to drive Growth plan adoption, the current structure makes that a non-starter.
Agency Owners Are Forced to Micromanage Every Subaccount
White-label agency owners are the only ones who can opt subaccounts into this promotion. Clients cannot self-opt. That means I have to manually evaluate and activate this offer across 60+ accounts individually, while simultaneously navigating the bundled opt-in problem and the billing risk on the Growth plan. The operational burden this creates is the direct result of a structural design problem, not a workflow issue on my end.
What Needs to Change
Add a path in the opt-in wizard to activate free AI Assistants without triggering the AI Agents trial.
Make the AI Agents trial a separate, independent opt-in that can be enabled per-subaccount on demand.
Make the AI Employee Growth plan resellable with agency-controlled pricing, or remove it from the agency opt-in flow entirely.
