  • Prospecting Agent now handles the full prospecting lifecycle, drawing from full CRM histories and intent signals at each stage. Prospecting Agent identifies buying signals to prioritize accounts, monitors for signals like job postings, funding rounds, and technology adoption ans uses those signals to surface high priority accounts and newly discovered in-market companies. It also finds complete buying committees, identifies contacts matching target personas, and fills the gaps with new contacts from connected third-party providers. The Agent drafts personalized email outreach informed by signals and research.
  • Smart Deal Progression acts like reps' second brains, writing follow-ups and suggesting updates that reflect the full account relationship. After every call between reps and prospects, Smart Deal Progression analyzes the transcript alongside the full deal history to suggest CRM updates, draft follow-up email, and surface action items. HubSpot combines meeting transcripts with CRM history, including customer data such as past emails, notes, deal activity, and prior interactions. It applies business context, including pipeline definitions, deal stages, and forecasting logic when suggesting updates like deal stage, amount, next steps, close date, or conversation outcome. It reflects team context by aligning suggested next steps and follow-ups with how teams execute and manage opportunities.
  • HubSpot's Customer Agent is an AI agent that works alongside human reps, handling routine questions around the clock. Customer Agent now works with email. New capabilities give teams more control over how the agent behaves across every channel with granular guidelines for tone and style, channel-specific settings, reply recommendations for human review, multi-brand support, working hours, percentage rollouts, and deploy-via-workflows for targeting specific ticket types.

"Most AI tools have access to data. What they don't have is context," said Duncan Lennox, chief product and technology officer of HubSpot, in a statement "Context is much more complex. If data is what happened, context is why. It's deep knowledge of your customers, your market, and how your team works. That knowledge grows with every interaction, delivered with precision at the moment it's needed. Without it, AI gives you generic output. With it, you get real outcomes. And that's what we're building at HubSpot."
