If you built a funnel in the classic drag-and-drop editor and want to keep working on it with AI, you don't have to rebuild it from scratch. Perspective can duplicate it as an AI funnel that keeps the same pages, links, and logic.
Your original funnel stays exactly as it is, and the copy opens in the AI Funnel Editor, where you can carry on editing it by chat or by hand.
TL;DR
Open the ... menu on your funnel in the dashboard, click Duplicate, choose Duplicate as AI funnel, and click Duplicate.
The funnel copy keeps the same pages, links, and logic, but everything is rebuilt in the AI funnel editor. Your original funnel stays live and unchanged.
Converting doesn't use AI credits, but app connections don't carry over, so set them up again in the Apps tab of the new funnel.
How do I duplicate a classic funnel as an AI funnel?
In your dashboard, click the ... menu on the funnel you want to convert, then click Duplicate. You can also do this from inside the funnel by clicking the funnel name in the top left corner and choosing Duplicate.
In the Duplicate Funnel window, select Duplicate as AI funnel and click Create AI funnel.
Wait while Perspective rebuilds the funnel. Once the copied funnel is ready, it'll be opened in the AI Funnel Editor.
If you want to duplicate your classic funnel without converting it into an AI funnel, but still use AI to customize the funnel copy, use the Duplicate as Classic option and then select Duplicate with AI.
ℹ️ Duplicating as an AI funnel doesn't use AI credits. Edits you later make through the AI Chat do use them. You can learn more about AI credits here.
How do I edit the funnel after converting it into an AI funnel?
Your new funnel behaves like any other AI funnel, so you can edit it in the AI funnel editor. You have three ways to make changes:
By hand in the editor: switch to Edit Mode in the AI funnel editor and edit the page.
In AI Chat: open the AI Chat in the AI funnel editor and describe the change you want.
From your AI assistant: if you have the Perspective MCP connected to Claude, ChatGPT, or another AI tool, describe the change there and it’s applied to your AI funnel in Perspective.

What doesn't carry over to the AI funnel?
When you duplicate a classic funnel as an AI funnel, your pages, links, and logic come across, but the apps and integrations you had connected to the original funnel don’t. Open the Apps tab in your new AI funnel and set up the integrations you need again, so your leads keep reaching the tools you work with.
Some direct integrations aren’t supported for AI funnels at all. Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics 4, the LinkedIn Insight Tag, the TikTok Pixel, and Hotjar work in classic funnels but don’t appear in an AI funnel, so any tracking you had running through them stays with your classic funnel. The Apps tab inside your AI funnel always shows which apps and direct integrations are currently supported.
The contacts your classic funnel collected stay with that funnel, so your new AI funnel starts at zero contacts. Nothing is lost here, because your original funnel keeps every contact it has and carries on collecting new ones for as long as it stays live.
💡 Keep your original funnel live until the AI version is finished and published. Both funnels run independently, so there's no rush to switch.
FAQ
Does my original funnel change when I duplicate it as an AI funnel?
Does my original funnel change when I duplicate it as an AI funnel?
No, your original funnel is left untouched. It stays in the classic drag-and-drop editor, keeps its link, its status, and its contacts, and keeps running while you work on the AI version.
Do changes sync between the classic funnel and the AI funnel?
Do changes sync between the classic funnel and the AI funnel?
No, duplicating is a one-time copy, not a live connection. Once the AI funnel exists, changes you make in either funnel stay in that funnel only, so decide which of the two you want to keep working on.
Does duplicating as an AI funnel use AI credits?
Does duplicating as an AI funnel use AI credits?
No, this option rebuilds your funnel without using AI credits. Edits you make afterwards through the AI Chat do use AI credits, while changes you make by hand in the editor don't.
Can I turn an AI funnel back into a classic drag-and-drop funnel?
Can I turn an AI funnel back into a classic drag-and-drop funnel?
Not at the moment. AI funnels and classic funnels use different underlying structures, so there's no way to convert one back into the other. If this is blocking you, let our support team know; we're tracking this kind of feedback.
I duplicated my regular funnel as an AI funnel. Why is my tracking missing in the new funnel?
I duplicated my regular funnel as an AI funnel. Why is my tracking missing in the new funnel?
App connections aren't copied over, so anything you had connected needs to be set up again in the Apps tab of your new funnel. A few integrations, like Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics 4, the LinkedIn Insight Tag, the TikTok Pixel, and Hotjar, aren't supported for AI funnels yet and won't appear in that tab.
Where do I find the funnel after it's been duplicated?
Where do I find the funnel after it's been duplicated?
The new funnel opens automatically in the AI Funnel Editor once it's ready. You'll also find it at the top of your funnel list in the dashboard, named after your original funnel with "copy" added, marked as a draft until you publish it.
