Q1 2026
AI Image Recognition
The AI can now see and interpret images sent by leads.
- Real estate: Lead sends property photo, AI extracts details
- Home services: Lead sends damage photo, AI categorizes job type
- Insurance: Lead uploads damage photos, AI starts claim process
- Auto repair: Customer sends photo, AI matches to catalog
Underrated update. Niches with photo-heavy workflows get serious value here.
Funnel AI
Funnel AI and AI Site Builder
Type a description, get a full funnel or website. Pre-written copy, mobile-responsive design out of the box.
- Landing page layouts from a text prompt
- Funnel structure with thank-you pages
- Pre-written editable copy
- Mobile-responsive by default
Honest take: The output is a 70% starting point. You still need to edit copy, swap images, and tweak design. But it beats a blank page.
Rolling Out May–Jun 2026
Ask AI — Platform-Wide Assistant
A platform-wide assistant that answers questions about your account in plain English.
- "How many leads did I get last week from Facebook ads?"
- "Show me contacts who opened the welcome email but didn't book"
- "Which workflow has the highest completion rate?"
Currently free during rollout. Pricing model not yet announced.
Coming Q2–Q3 2026
New AI Cost Controls
GHL announced these in response to surprise AI bill complaints.
- AI billing dashboard to track spend by workflow
- Pricing Explorer for live cost estimates before you build
- Usage limit controls so agencies can cap client AI spend
A welcome change. Expected Q2–Q3 2026.
Q1 2026
Workflow Builder Updates
The workflow engine is the backbone of GHL. Here is what changed.
3 New Triggers
- Review Received: Trigger automations when a Google or Facebook review comes in — auto-thank positives, alert team for negatives
- Payment Failed: Trigger when a Stripe payment fails — auto-send recovery emails, retry charges, tag the contact
- Form Partially Completed: Trigger when someone fills part of a form but does not submit — send a 'you almost got there' follow-up
Other Workflow Updates
- Merge Contacts action (March 2026): Merge duplicate contacts directly from a workflow
- Goals now support stacked AND/OR logic for smarter path branching
- Performance improvements: drag-and-drop is smooth on 50+ step workflows
- Multi-select and bulk-move work much better on large canvases
- Duplicate Pipelines Across Accounts: one-click pipeline copy instead of rebuilding
Q1 2026
Mobile App 4.0
The mobile app has historically been GHL’s weakest part. 2026 finally fixed that.
What Is New in 4.0
- Kanban pipeline view with drag-and-drop between stages on your phone
- Universal search that pulls contacts, opportunities, conversations, and notes from one bar
- Dark mode finally available
- Granular push notifications by pipeline, team member, or contact tag
- Faster load times — rebuilt with better performance
Still Needs Work
White-Label App Issues
- White-label LeadConnector app (client-facing) still has call drop issues
- Push notifications can be unreliable on the client app
- GHL is working on it but as of June 2026 this is still the weakest spot
March 2026
Marketplace and Developer Updates
Major improvements to the GHL Marketplace and developer tooling.
Marketplace Earning Dashboard
A new analytics dashboard inside Labs > Agency > Marketplace Earnings. If you build apps or sell snapshots on the GHL Marketplace, you can finally track real numbers.
- App installs across all sub-accounts
- Revenue from each app
- Costs (development, maintenance, GHL fees)
- Profit margins
- Sub-account contribution to total earnings
Agent Studio Marketplace Listings
Package your AI agents as Marketplace templates and sell them. Agencies are paying $50–$300 per agent template. Niche-specific agents sell best.
- "Dental Lead Qualifier and Scheduler" agent
- "Real Estate Virtual Assistant" voice agent
- "Pest Control Booking Bot"
