Every year, HubSpot’s Spotlight at Inbound sets the tone for how businesses will use CRM and AI to scale smarter. This fall, the theme is unified — and for good reason. While competitors push fragmented point solutions, HubSpot continues to build a connected, AI-ready ecosystem that brings sales, marketing, service, and operations together.
“The message is clear,” says Bart Kowalczyk, CEO of AutomateNow. “Businesses don’t need more tools; they need unified systems that talk to each other. HubSpot’s latest updates are all about making AI practical, not chaotic.”
Let’s break down the biggest announcements and what they mean for businesses.
Breeze Customer Agent: From Support Bot to Revenue Engine
HubSpot’s Breeze Customer Agent is evolving from a simple chatbot into a 24/7 AI-powered concierge.
-
Smart prospecting: Qualify leads instantly and route them to sales.
-
Voice support: Beyond chat and email, customers can talk to your AI.
-
Full CRM integration: Pull customer history and update records in real time.
-
Custom personalities: Multiple AI agents per portal (support, sales, product expert).
This isn’t just automation — it’s about turning conversations into conversions.
“Think of it as your digital sales assistant,” Bart adds. “It qualifies, books, and even updates your CRM so your team can focus on building relationships, not data entry.”
Breeze Assistant & Studio: Your AI, Your Way
Previously known as Breeze Co-Pilot, the new Breeze Assistant is more than a rebrand. It’s now your business-aware AI assistant, connected directly to HubSpot CRM and beyond.
Highlights include:
-
Cross-platform integration (Google Workspace, Outlook, Teams, Slack).
-
Business intelligence on demand with real data insights.
-
Memory that learns preferences and context.
-
Custom assistants built from scratch in Breeze Studio.
With Breeze Studio, companies can design assistants for onboarding, sales enablement, or technical support.
“It’s like having ChatGPT — but trained on your business, your data, your customers,” Bart explains. “For SMEs, this levels the playing field against bigger players.”

Breeze Marketplace: The AI App Store for Business
HubSpot is unifying its app marketplace, templates, and solutions directory into the new Breeze Marketplace.
At launch, expect ready-to-deploy AI agents such as:
-
Closing Agent – helps win deals stuck at the final stage.
-
Customer Handoff Agent – smooth transitions between teams.
-
Customer Health Agent – flags at-risk accounts.
-
Company Research Agent – preps your team with insights.
“For many of our clients, this means immediate access to proven AI that works out-of-the-box,” says Bart. “And in the future, agencies like AutomateNow will even be able to build and list custom agents for niche industries.”

Faster lead qualification and deal progression.
-
Consistent customer experiences across every channel.
-
Less admin work, more selling.
-
Access to AI innovation without enterprise budgets.
