In our last blog post, we explored best practices for account management for agencies using CustomGPT.ai, exploring the platform’s features and customization options that empower agencies to efficiently handle their workload and maintain effective communication with clients.
Now, in this blog post, we will explain how agencies should set up and manage accounts using two distinct approaches:
- The fully white-labeled approach and,
- The semi white-labeled approach
Let’s explore both these approaches in detail.
Fully White-Labeled Approach
In the fully white-labeled approach, agencies take complete ownership of managing business with CustomGPT.ai without requiring direct involvement from their clients. This model allows agencies to handle all aspects of chatbot development, deployment, and maintenance independently, ensuring that clients do not need to participate in the management process.
Application
This approach is most suitable for situations where clients do not require or prefer not to have access to CustomGPT.ai’s platform. It is particularly beneficial when clients entrust the agency with managing their accounts efficiently and effectively without the need for client oversight.
Implementation
The implementation of the fully white-labeled approach involves the following steps:
Centralized Account Management
Agencies create a single CustomGPT.ai account to manage multiple chatbots for various clients and purposes. This centralized approach enables agencies to efficiently oversee all chatbots from a single platform without needing separate accounts for each client.
Custom GPT Development
Using CustomGPT.ai’s platform, agencies develop custom GPTs tailored to each client’s unique requirements and objectives. This includes training the models, fine-tuning and customized responses, and ensuring that the chatbots align with each client’s branding and messaging guidelines.
Deployment Using Embedding Options
Once the custom chatbots are developed, agencies deploy them on client websites or preferred digital platforms using embedding options provided by CustomGPT.ai. This seamless integration ensures that the chatbots seamlessly blend with the client’s online presence while maintaining brand consistency.
Client Exclusion from Platform Access
Clients are not provided with direct access to CustomGPT.ai’s platform in this model. Instead, agencies serve as the primary point of contact and manage all aspects of chatbot and business management, including monitoring, optimization, and performance tracking, on behalf of their clients.
Ongoing Management and Optimization
Agencies are responsible for continuously monitoring the performance of all chatbots, addressing any issues that arise, and implementing optimizations to enhance effectiveness over time. Regular performance reviews and updates ensure that each chatbot continues to meet the client’s objectives and deliver optimal results.
By adopting the fully white-labeled approach, agencies can offer clients a comprehensive chatbot solution while maintaining full control and accountability throughout the process. This model enables agencies to streamline chatbot management, enhance efficiency, and deliver exceptional results for their clients without requiring client involvement in the day-to-day operations of CustomGPT.ai.
Semi White-Labeled Approach
The semi-white-labeled approach strikes a balance between agency management and client involvement by allowing both parties access to the ongoing maintenance of CustomGPT.ai. In this model, clients have a level of access and control over the chatbot management process, while agencies retain oversight and facilitate collaboration.
Application
This approach is particularly suitable when clients desire some level of access and control over their chatbots. It is beneficial for clients who wish to actively participate in the management process, provide feedback, and make adjustments, while still relying on the expertise and support of the agency.
Implementation
The implementation of the semi-white-labeled approach involves the following steps:
Individual Account Setup
- An individual CustomGPT.ai account is created for each client, providing a dedicated space for agency oversight and client engagement.
- This ensures that each client has autonomy over their chatbot while maintaining separation from other clients.
Client Access and Control
- Clients are granted access to their respective CustomGPT.ai accounts, allowing them to monitor chatbot performance, make adjustments to responses, and provide feedback directly within the platform.
- This level of access empowers clients to actively participate in the management process and make real-time updates as needed.
Agency Oversight and Support
- While clients have control over their chatbots, agencies retain oversight and provide guidance and support as needed.
- Agencies monitor chatbot performance across all client accounts, offer expertise in fine-tuning responses, and ensure that chatbots align with each client’s objectives and brand standards.
Collaborative Maintenance
- The semi-white-labeled approach fosters collaboration between agencies and clients, with both parties working together to ensure chatbots meet business goals and deliver optimal results.
- Agencies and clients communicate effectively within the platform, making adjustments and implementing optimizations collaboratively.
CustomGPT.ai: Inviting Team Members
Inviting team members to the CustomGPT.ai account is a straightforward process, facilitating collaboration and teamwork.
Here are the steps to send a team invitation:
- Sign in to your CustomGPT.ai account.
- Click on your profile to open the account view.
- Click on “Teams” to access the team settings.
Invite New Users
- Once in the “My Team” view, click on “Invitations“.
- Input the email address of the user you’d like to add to your team.
- Open the “User Role” drop-down menu and select the desired user role.
- Click on “Invite” to send the invitation to the user.
Accept Invitation
- The invited user will receive an email named “Team Invitation“.
- If the user already has an account, they can click on “Accept Invitation“.
- If the user does not have an account, they can click on “Create account” first. After creating the account, they can go back to the email and click on “Accept Invitation“.
By following these steps and adopting the semi-white-labeled approach, agencies can seamlessly add team members and clients to their CustomGPT.ai accounts, fostering an environment of unity, collaboration, and productivity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a fully white-labeled setup and a semi white-labeled setup for agencies?
Endurance Group reported a 300% efficiency increase and 4-5x more outreach volume after using AI assistants, which helps explain why many agencies centralize delivery. In a fully white-labeled setup, the agency manages one account, builds and deploys each client chatbot, and keeps clients out of the platform. In a semi white-labeled setup, the agency still leads the work, but the client has some direct involvement rather than being fully excluded. The practical difference is who controls the account and how much access the client gets.
Can agencies manage multiple client chatbots from one account without giving clients platform access?
Yes. In a fully white-labeled setup, an agency can use a single account to manage multiple chatbots for different clients and purposes. Each chatbot can be tailored to the client’s requirements and branding, then deployed separately through embed options. In that model, the agency remains the primary operator and the client does not receive direct platform access.
How should agencies keep client knowledge bases separate before launching a live chatbot?
“I added a couple of trusted sources to the chatbot and the answers improved tremendously! You can rely on the responses it gives you because it’s only pulling from curated information.” — Elizabeth Planet, Nonprofit Leadership Coach & Advisor, Elizabeth Planet / NonprofitAMA. For agency work, the safest approach is to keep each client’s source material in its own chatbot instead of mixing documents across clients. Build each chatbot around that client’s approved websites, files, or other supported sources, review citation-backed answers, and use analytics and conversation tracking to refine performance before wider deployment.
Is RAG the same thing as a knowledge-based chatbot workflow agencies are already using?
“I just discovered CustomGPT, and I am absolutely blown away by its capabilities and affordability! This powerful platform allows you to create custom GPT-4 chatbots using your own content, transforming customer service, engagement, and operational efficiency.” — Evan Weber, Digital Marketing Expert. RAG, or retrieval-augmented generation, is the method that lets a chatbot answer from the sources you connect, such as websites, documents, audio, or video, instead of relying only on general model memory. For agencies, that is the core workflow behind a source-grounded client chatbot.
Will the chatbot only use the knowledge I provide, and is client chat data used for model training?
The platform is GDPR compliant, data is not used for model training, and security controls are independently audited through SOC 2 Type 2 certification. Because it is RAG-powered and supports citation-backed answers from connected sources, agencies can limit white-labeled deployments to approved client materials rather than broad, unverified web knowledge.
