# AI Customer Engine(er) · v-next copy (2026-10-26)

Brain task t-260f56. Draft for Nik. Nothing live was edited. Page diffs are in `PROPOSED-CHANGES.md`.

**Name:** every live asset says "AI Customer **Engine**" (joinaibusiness.com, lp.funneling.ai/customer-engine/*). The brain task says "Engineer". This draft keeps "Engine" so ads match the page (see question 1 in the hand-off).

## What changed and why
| Current (v3 preview / live $5 page) | v-next | Source of the new angle |
|---|---|---|
| "How **local business owners** are installing a simple AI system that brings in **100+ new customers every single month**" | Owner who already sells, leak after the form, reply speed | Premium filter (feedback-ads-premium-full-formats), CASI swipe "owner-bottleneck" + Brook Hiddink two-calendar winner |
| "100+ new customers every month" (no source on file) | Dropped. Only sourced proof (Nav, Tracy, Travis, Aaron, Ellis, Johannes) | COPY-RULES "never invent a number" |
| "WITHOUT running ads, hiring staff or relying on referrals" | Kept the referral line only | Ads contradict "without running ads" |
| "Only a few days left" + hard-coded date | Evergreen: date reads from one GHL custom value | feedback-evergreen-single-date |
| "Not another AI tool. A customer acquisition system powered by AI." | Kept (it tests well as the closer line on the page, and it corrects a belief people hold after trying chatbots) | live page |

## 10 hooks (full 25 in `../HOOKS.md`, H051-H075)
1. Fill in your own lead form tonight. Time the reply.
2. The lead came in at 8:47 PM. You replied at 9:30 the next morning.
3. Your lead was hot for about an hour.
4. Five places a customer slips away after they raised their hand.
5. One text isn't follow-up.
6. Your next clients might already be in your CRM.
7. Most of your old leads never said no.
8. Find, start, follow up, qualify, book. One engine.
9. Leave the workshop with 100 leads and the engine to work them.
10. More leads won't help if follow-up still runs through you.

## Open flags
- "Inside a minute" is taught as a method (claims_table row 10 is ⚠️ until the CASI trigger is confirmed). Keep "I'll show you how".
- Gift copy is the verbatim OFFER_TRUTH promise without the $100 payout line (payout still `confirm:false`).
