GoHighLevel Summer of AI 2026: Everything You Get for Free Until August 31

GoHighLevel has made almost its entire AI stack free for the summer. Through its Summer of AI 2026 campaign, running June 1 through August 31, every HighLevel sub-account gets five AI tools free for 90 days, plus 30 days free on the platform's paid conversational agents.

This is a rare window to put revenue-generating AI into production at zero software cost. The agencies that treat it as a structured trial rather than a free-for-all will come out of August with systems that pay for themselves. This guide breaks down everything you get for free, eligibility requirements, how to activate, and how to make the most of the campaign.

What Is GoHighLevel Summer of AI 2026?

GoHighLevel Summer of AI 2026 is a campaign where GoHighLevel gives users access to a suite of AI features for free, plus runs a competition where agencies can win cash prizes by demonstrating their use of these AI tools. The campaign runs from June 1, 2026, until August 31, 2026.

The stated goal is to help agencies put AI into production at zero cost and build systems that generate revenue. The unstated goal is to get thousands of agencies addicted to AI features before they start charging for them in September.

How to Make the Most of the Campaign

1. Build Client Assets with AI Studio

Use AI Studio to build websites, funnels, landing pages, and booking flows for your clients. This is a permanent asset that stays live even after the campaign ends.

2. Automate with Workflow AI

Describe what you want to automate and let Workflow AI build it for you. Set up client workflows during the free period to save hours of manual work.

3. Deploy Voice AI for Lead Capture

Set up Voice AI to answer inbound calls for a client during the free trial. Show them the results, then build a recurring retainer for the service after the trial ends.

4. Document Everything for the Contest

The contest winners will be the agencies that demonstrate the most innovative and effective use of the AI tools. Document your use cases, results, and client feedback.

What Happens After August 31?

After August 31, the free AI Copilots and trials end. You have three options:

• Continue with the tools at regular pricing
• Upgrade to the AI Employee plan ($49.99/month during the campaign, regular $97/month)
• Retain the assets you built (websites, funnels, workflows) even without the AI

The key is to use the free period to build systems that generate value and can be easily maintained after the campaign ends.
