Pro tip: Need prompt ideas? The Starter Kit has 19 ready-to-use prompts across four categories. If you already know exactly what you want in one sentence, you can still open GoDaddy Airo AI Builder and describe it in chat. Templates are for when you want a strong visual starting point before you spend credits on broader changes.
Rebuild a site you already own
Already have a live site, or want to start from a site you like as a reference? We built a rebuild flow in GoDaddy Airo AI Builder so you can paste a URL, see a new version in minutes, and shape it in chat or Edit mode instead of describing every page from a blank prompt.
You might use it if…
- Yours is on Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, an older GoDaddy site, or a template that is hard to change, and you want a fresh build without a one-click migration.
- A reference site shows the layout or tone you want, and you want that as inspiration, not a copy-paste clone.
- Your hours, menu, services, or pricing already live online and you do not want to retype them.
- You are rebranding or your mobile site looks dated, but the business story is still right.
Rebuild is not automatic migration. It uses the public site as a guide for a new project. Store catalogs, admin settings, and integrations do not carry over automatically. Preview first, reconnect booking or payments when you are ready, then publish on a paid plan. Once live, use Analytics in Airo AI Builder to track how your rebuilt site is performing.
What you get
- A first version grounded in what is already online, so you spend credits on layout and polish, not re-entering basics.
- A preview before you commit, then refinements in Edit mode or chat until it matches your business.
How to start
- Open Rebuild with GoDaddy Airo AI Builder and paste your current site URL (or start from chat in the builder).
- For a longer walkthrough, read How to rebuild a website without starting from zero.
- For Help Center steps, open Rebuild or redesign my website in Airo AI Builder.
Pro tip: If you are not sure whether to start from a template or rebuild, start from the Discover guide. It walks you through the choice in the same flow as your first prompt.
Airo Inbox: business phone, chat, and an AI agent that answers for you
Airo Inbox is the Inbox tab in GoDaddy Airo AI Builder. After you publish, it is where chat, contact forms, and business calls (in the US) come together. The goal is simple: customers reach your business, and an AI agent can answer on your behalf using what is already on your published site, while you step in when a human touch is needed.
Business phone, AI voice, and full telephony are available in the US.
Airo Inbox: set up a chat widget or contact form from the Inbox tab, and manage settings including the AI agent from the gear icon.
In the US, the Channels section in Inbox Settings lets you claim a dedicated business phone number without leaving the builder.
Claim a business number without leaving the builder
In the US, you do not need a separate phone product hunt after launch.
- Publish a site with clear contact details (location, hours, services). The builder can use that context when it suggests a local number.
- Open the Inbox tab, go to Channels, or ask in builder chat (for example, "Can I get a business phone number?").
- Reserve and claim the number shown. Pick another area code or number if you want a different match.
- Finish checkout in the same flow. Manage calls and texts in the GoDaddy mobile app when your account includes them.
Your personal number stays private. Callers dial the business line you set up in GoDaddy Airo AI Builder.
Once your number is claimed, open Business Phone in Inbox settings to configure it:
- Voicemail: Keep the default greeting or record your own (up to 2 minutes). Preview it before you save.
- Auto attendant: Choose between a touch-tone greeting or the AI voice agent to answer calls.
- Call availability: Take calls any time, or set weekday hours in your US time zone. Calls outside your hours go to voicemail.
- Spam filtering and blocked numbers: Cut down on unwanted calls. Unblock a number at any time.
Calls and voicemails appear in your Inbox conversations with a phone icon, so you can see answered and missed calls and play each voicemail with its transcript.
Ask in builder chat — "Can I get a business phone number?
" — and Airo finds a local number based on your published contact details.
Once you claim the number, a QR code links you to the GoDaddy app where you manage calls and texts.
Connect the AI agent to answer calls and chat
Once chat or phone is in place, turn on the agent so it handles routine questions on your behalf.
For website chat: Add a chat widget from Inbox (or ask for one in chat). When prompted, turn on the AI agent, or open Inbox Settings and switch on Enable AI Agent.
For inbound calls: In your business number settings, choose AI voice agent instead of a touch-tone auto attendant. The voice agent speaks with callers using your published website content (no keypad menu).
Pro tip: Selecting AI voice under Auto attendant automatically turns on the website chat agent too — so you only need to enable it in one place.
In your business number settings, choose between a touch-tone Auto Attendant or an AI voice agent that speaks naturally with callers.
The AI voice agent answers calls using your published site content, transfers when it can't answer confidently, and saves every transcript to Inbox.
3. Accept GoDaddy's AI Terms of Use. You stay responsible for what the agent says to customers.
4. The agent answers common questions about hours, location, pricing, services, programs, and similar topics. If it cannot answer confidently, it can transfer the call to you, take a message, or hand off the chat for you to reply in Inbox.
5. Agent interactions use AI credits. Call transcripts and chat threads can live in Airo Inbox so nothing disappears on your personal phone.
- If the site is already published, publish once more after you enable the agent so it can use your latest pages.
You can still answer visitor questions from live site chat in Airo Inbox yourself anytime. When you change services, pricing, or hours, update the site and publish again so the agent stays accurate.
Contact forms and chat on your site
- Add a contact form, a chat widget, or both from the Inbox tab.
- The chat bubble appears on your published site. Where required by law, it loads after cookie consent.
- You get email notifications on new messages. Reply from Inbox or from email.
Site chat and contact forms are available wherever you can publish. Phone, AI voice, and full telephony are available in the US only.
