About the author
Alpit Patel
Founder, Autoesta · HighLevel Certified Admin
Builds the AI agents, automation and CRM backend that get new leads answered in minutes.
Alpit started Autoesta in 2021 and runs it from San Francisco. The company is a 16-person team: about eight people in San Francisco and the rest in India and Nepal. He scopes client projects, signs off on the systems the team ships, and reviews what Autoesta publishes.
Most of his work is on a business's CRM, the automation that connects it to the other tools the business uses, and the AI agents that answer calls and messages when nobody on the team is free.

What he writes about
- GoHighLevel: fixing and setting up accounts, pricing, workflows, and how it compares with HubSpot and Salesforce.
- AI agents: AI receptionists, voice agents, chat agents and lead qualification, including where they fall short.
- Automation: CRM automation, n8n, Zapier, Airtable and API integrations.
- Custom software: web apps, portals, SaaS products and custom CRMs the team builds when an off-the-shelf tool stops fitting.
- Industries: dental, med spa, chiropractic, real estate and agencies, based on builds the team has delivered.
How Autoesta's content is made
Each guide starts from a question clients ask on strategy calls or a problem the team fixed in a real account. Drafts may use AI writing tools. Before anything is published, prices, plan limits and rules are checked against the vendor's or regulator's own pages, and those sources are linked in the article. Alpit reviews each piece, and the date at the bottom shows when it was last checked.
Autoesta does not publish invented statistics, reviews or client results. Case studies name real clients who agreed to be named. If you find something wrong or out of date, email alpit@autoesta.com and it will be corrected.
