Moving from GoHighLevel
Export your contacts, companies, leads and products from your current system as CSV files. In DukeOS, the Imports app maps each column to a field, shows a preview of what will be created, and then imports in the background, without starting any automations. Duke can also set up the pages and pipeline stages you used before, so your team sees familiar names on day one.

06Questions
Common questions
Can I white-label DukeOS?
Yes. Agency plans put your logo, colours, your own domain and your own name for the assistant on every client's app, with an agency console for all clients. Plans start at $149 a month and are billed per live client.
Can I get the DukeOS source code?
Yes, with the source licence: the full code, a year of updates and support, and up to 25 live client businesses for $3,500 the first year. You host it for your own named clients under your brand. It is a licence to use the code, not ownership, and it doesn't allow reselling the code or running a public sign-up service.
Who pays for AI and WhatsApp messages?
Each client's assistant can run on their own AI key, and each business connects its own WhatsApp number, so those costs sit between the client and the provider. There is no messaging markup from SmartDuke.
Can I move clients from GoHighLevel?
Yes. Export contacts and records as CSV and import them per client with the Imports app, which previews the result first. Duke can recreate pipelines and custom fields from a description.
Is there a demo for agencies?
Yes. There are live demo businesses you can try without signing up, and agencies can ask for a sandbox and a walkthrough of the agency console and, for the source licence, the code.
