When the typewriter was introduced, surely some people thought it was “cheating” to write a book or create documents using the device instead of hand-writing.
And now the same thing has happened with AI.
Many people are hesitant to use it in their marketing — for copywriting, for design, or for their funnels — because they feel like it’s cheating.
But remember…
The best marketers use the best tools available to them. 🙂
And AI is certainly a powerful tool that can make your funnel hacking and funnel building 100x easier!
If it used to take 1-2 weeks to write the copy, design the page, and stitch your funnel together before AI, now it takes only a few hours, or even minutes to do it.
The AI can create your funnel. And you can focus on refining it.
Let me show you what I mean.
What is an AI-Driven Sales Funnel?
An AI-driven sales funnel is a funnel where all or some aspects are created or controlled by AI. AI technology can handle tasks that would typically require significant human effort, thereby enhancing efficiency and effectiveness.
Here are some of the ways AI can help…
- Generate the structure of your sales funnel.
- Provide professional design templates.
- Write persuasive and targeted sales copy for emails.
- Evaluate and prioritize leads based on their likelihood to convert, helping sales teams focus on high-potential prospects.
- Monitor the performance of the sales funnel in real-time, offering data-driven suggestions for improvements.
Why Use an AI Sales Funnel Generator?
AI can not only save you tons of time, it can also produce higher-quality results than you might get by doing it the “old-fashioned” way.
Here are some benefits…
- Maximize conversion: Not everyone is a marketer, you’re likely a business owner or handling multiple tasks at your company. It gets difficult to spend time executing multi-step sales funnels — but those are required to bring in customers and leads. AI helps do that.
- Time-Saving: Quickly creates complete sales funnels from start to finish.
- Scalability: Launch multiple products, and experiment with different offers without getting restricted with time or resources. This way you can find the exact things your customers want from you, quickly, before your competition.
- User-Friendly Design: Provides professional design templates even for those with no design experience. No need to spend time finding the right designer, going back and forth with them (check out the AI images below as an example)…
- Automated Copywriting: Generates compelling sales copy, eliminating the need for an expensive copywriter. Check out the example below of some simple sales copy that converts.

How to Create a Sales Funnel Using AI
Want to see how you can actually create an AI sales funnel right now… in 5 minutes… for free?!
Just click here and I’ll walk you through the rest!
This is a new feature we built here at ClickFunnels that will build your entire funnel for you — including writing the sales copy, mapping out the structure, and designing the pages.
It can do the upfront 80% of the legwork. And you can take it to the finish line!
→ The ClickFunnels Smart Funnel feature automates the creation of marketing funnels by guiding users through a series of steps.
→ It combines user inputs, AI-driven copywriting, and design customization to create a tailored funnel that aligns with the user’s brand and business goals.
When you click on the link above, you’ll arrive at this page. Here you can select your niche, who you service, and how you serve them.
For my example, I’m going to pretend that I’m a fitness coach who’s selling an online guide to my target market (busy executives). If you don’t know this info for your own business, you should! Here’s a great guide we created that’ll show you how to define your dream customer (those are the only people you should be marketing to!).
Next, you’ll choose the type of funnel that you want to use. In case you’re new to building sales funnels, there’s a description of when to choose each funnel type on the right side of the screen. Here’s a brief overview…
Opt-In Funnel
The Opt-In Funnel, also known as the Lead or Squeeze Funnel, is a simple yet powerful tool.
It consists of two phases. In the first phase, you offer something valuable, like an ebook, report, cheat sheet, or video, in exchange for an email address.
In the second phase, you follow up with your list via email, eliminating the need to pay for repeated advertising on platforms like Facebook or Google. You can repeatedly engage your audience at no additional cost.
Application Funnel
The Application Funnel is ideal for gathering detailed information from prospects to facilitate sales calls, particularly for coaches and high-ticket services.
It has two phases. In the first phase, you build the desire to make prospects eager to work with you.
In the second phase, you have them complete a long-form application and potentially book a time on your calendar.
Webinar Funnel
The Webinar Funnel allows entrepreneurs to close high-ticket sales by addressing customer objections over an extended period, typically at least an hour.
It consists of two phases. In the first phase, visitors register to attend and hear success stories to build curiosity.
In the second phase, attendees watch the live webinar or replays while the buying window narrows, creating genuine scarcity and urgency.
Summit Funnel
The Summit Funnel is a highly effective and fast method to grow your list and following.
It has two phases. In the first phase, visitors register for the summit and are often offered a VIP upgrade right after registering.
In the second phase, attendees join the summit to learn from expert speakers on a specific topic or market.
Bridge Funnel
The Bridge Funnel is ideal for selling someone else’s product as an affiliate or in network marketing.
It consists of two phases. In the first phase, visitors opt-in to receive a lead magnet, adding them to your list.
In the second phase, you handle the selling on a bridge page, guiding them on the next steps to increase conversions.
Video Series Funnel
The Video Series Funnel, or Product Launch Funnel, is designed to build anticipation and drive sales for your new product.
It has two phases. In the first phase, people register for the event, receive a welcome, and learn what to expect next, while being added to your list.
In the second phase, you use your email list to direct people to each video, typically introducing and giving access to your new product on day four.
Once you’ve chosen what type of sales funnel you want to build, then you can select your main brand color. This is one of my favorite parts… because I suck at design haha. This makes it so much easier, though.
Even if you don’t have brand colors, just select a color you like and the AI will create a palette that looks great.
Then you can choose an image style — isometric 3D, flat illustrations, or stock photo portraits. This is totally up to you and depends on what you’re offering and how you think it should be presented.
This next part is also really important. The more specific information you give our AI, the better job it’s going to do at writing your headlines and sales copy. So put in additional information about your offer, select your niche again, and choose a writing voice.
Then click “Refresh Copy” and you can see an example of what it’s generating. I recommend changing the writing voice until it’s generating a tone/voice of copy that you like. Then you can click “Next”.
And that’s it! You’ll go to this page that says your funnel is being created. Watch the video from Russell Brunson if you’re new to ClickFunnels. It provides some useful information on what to expect next.
Then click the “Add Funnel to My Account” button.
You’ll either be prompted to sign into your ClickFunnels account or to create a new account if you don’t already have one (don’t worry, though, you get a 14-day free trial!).
You get a funnel — built for you in mere minutes. You can edit each page, delete, or even add more pages/steps to the funnel. It’s fully customizable but now you have an almost complete funnel that will need only a few tweaks (or none at all!) based on your needs.
Oh — and this gets even cooler.
We have an AI chatbot named Napoleon. Click on any element on the page, and the bot will recognize that section. Then you can ask the bot to rewrite the copy, expand it, shorten it, or change it in any particular way you like…
So not only can you build your funnel with AI — you can also refine it with AI!
Amazing, huh?
We’re all for technology that makes it easier for everyday entrepreneurs to build their businesses and make sales online. And that’s why we’ve been so aggressive with leaning into AI here at ClickFunnels. It has so much potential.
But don’t take our word for it!
