Don't forget to adjust copy, images, and layout in chat or **Edit mode** until it matches your brand. **How to use them** 1. Browse **[Website Templates](https://www.godaddy.com/en/website-templates)**. 2. Choose a layout that fits your business type. 3.

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](/discover/learn/how-to-rebuild-wordpress-blog-with-ai), 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](/discover/learn/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** 1. Open **[Rebuild with GoDaddy Airo AI Builder](https://www.godaddy.com/en/offers/airo/ai-builder/rebuild)** and paste your current site URL (or start from chat in the builder). 2. For a longer walkthrough, read **[How to rebuild a website without starting from zero](https://airo-builder.godaddy.com/discover/learn/how-to-rebuild-a-website-without-starting-over)**. 3. For Help Center steps, open **[Rebuild or redesign my website in Airo AI Builder](https://www.godaddy.com/help/rebuild-or-redesign-my-website-in-airo-ai-builder-42965)**. **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 tab showing the Inbox Settings panel with Email Notifications, AI Agent, and Channels options](/airo-assets/images/articles/airo-ai-builder-product-update-november-2026/inbox-setup-channels) *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.* ![Airo Inbox Settings showing the option to get a dedicated business phone number](/airo-assets/images/articles/airo-ai-builder-product-update-november-2026/inbox-business-phone-channel) *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. 1. **Publish** a site with clear **contact** details (location, hours, services). The builder can use that context when it suggests a local number. 2. Open the **Inbox** tab, go to **Channels**, or ask in builder chat (for example, "Can I get a business phone number?"). 3. **Reserve and claim** the number shown. Pick another area code or number if you want a different match. 4. 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. ![Airo builder chat showing a local Denver number reserved for Pawsh Grooming Studio with options to claim or find a different number](/airo-assets/images/articles/airo-ai-builder-product-update-november-2026/inbox-phone-reserve-number) *Ask in builder chat — "Can I get a business phone number?" — and Airo finds a local number based on your published contact details.* ![Airo builder confirming purchase of phone number (303) 872-8011 for Pawsh Grooming Studio with a QR code to download the GoDaddy app](/airo-assets/images/articles/airo-ai-builder-product-update-november-2026/inbox-phone-purchase-confirm) *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**. 1. **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**. 2. **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. ![Phone number settings showing Auto Attendant and AI voice agent options for how calls are answered](/airo-assets/images/articles/airo-ai-builder-product-update-november-2026/inbox-phone-call-settings) *In your business number settings, choose between a touch-tone Auto Attendant or an AI voice agent that speaks naturally with callers.* ![Explainer showing how the AI voice agent works: answers calls, uses website content, transfers when it can't answer, transcribes every call](/airo-assets/images/articles/airo-ai-builder-product-update-november-2026/inbox-ai-voice-agent-explainer) *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. 6. 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. For a longer walkthrough, see **[Airo Inbox: website chat and contact forms](https://airo-builder.godaddy.com/discover/learn/airo-inbox-website-chat-contact-forms)** on Discover. --- ## Take your next step Pick one path and run it once start to finish.
