The pace of business has never been faster, and small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) are struggling to keep up with rapidly evolving market conditions. With marketing tactics and sales playbooks quickly becoming outdated, it’s no surprise that AI is playing a pivotal role in transforming business operations. However, as SMBs face the overwhelming influx of AI tools and updates, HubSpot’s Spring 2025 Spotlight offers a solution that promises to help these businesses harness the true power of AI without the need for massive teams or budgets.

In an effort to help SMBs move faster and more efficiently, HubSpot has introduced over 200 new features this spring, focusing on AI-powered tools that drive results in sales, marketing, and customer service. According to Andy Pitre, EVP of Product at HubSpot, “SMBs don't need more AI hype—they need technology that helps.”

Features of HubSpot’s Spring 2025 Spotlight

HubSpot's Spring 2025 Spotlight introduces a suite of AI-powered agents designed to assist every go-to-market team in scaling and optimizing their operations.

1. Breeze Agents: Enhancing Support and Sales Efficiency

HubSpot’s new Breeze Agents are revolutionizing customer service and sales teams by automating tasks and enhancing workflow efficiency. The most notable enhancements include:

• Knowledge Base Agent: This tool helps businesses expand and update their support resources in real time based on incoming support tickets. Working in tandem with the Customer Agent, it bridges knowledge gaps and enhances self-service options for customers.

• Customer Agent: Automating the resolution of customer queries, the Customer Agent handles over 50% of support tickets for HubSpot customers. The enhanced version now uses AI to identify knowledge gaps, provides personalized responses (e.g., order status, password resets), and supports new channels like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.

• Prospecting Agent: This AI tool helps sales teams speed up the lead generation process by researching target accounts, personalizing outreach, and providing insights into buyer committees. It now integrates with the Sales Workspace and new Target Accounts app for more streamlined prospecting.

• Content Agent: For marketers, the Content Agent uses AI to help create and scale content across multiple channels. It automates pre-publish tasks like generating meta descriptions, adding internal links, and suggesting high-performing blog topics based on target audience interests.

2. AI-Powered Features for Marketing Hub Enterprise

HubSpot’s Marketing Hub Enterprise now comes with enhanced AI tools to simplify lead generation, conversion, and complex marketing workflows. Notable updates include:

• Lookalike Lists: A new feature powered by AI that helps marketers identify ideal customers by analyzing their existing client base, ensuring they target prospects with the highest potential for conversion.

• Journey Automation: Marketers can now create personalized customer journeys with the Journey Builder, which provides real-time insights to optimize campaigns and customer experiences.

• Multi-Account Management: Businesses managing multiple accounts can now seamlessly handle customer data, assets, and marketing tasks from a single HubSpot organization.

3. AI-Powered Workspaces: A Centralized Hub for Teams

To improve team collaboration and streamline operations, HubSpot has launched three new AI-powered workspaces designed for sales, customer success, and customer support teams:

• Sales Workspace: Sales reps can now gather essential context, prioritize prospects, and take action on leads to accelerate pipeline building and deal closure.

• Customer Success Workspace: This workspace enables customer success managers to track tasks, manage schedules, and easily identify potential customer issues before they escalate.

• Help Desk Workspace: Designed for customer service teams, this tool enables support reps to triage and resolve open tickets, ensuring quicker response times and higher customer satisfaction.

The Power of AI for SMBs

The landscape of business operations is changing rapidly, and AI has become a critical tool for companies to stay competitive. According to HubSpot, three out of four business leaders feel they’re falling behind in adopting AI, highlighting the growing need for accessible and impactful AI tools that can drive real results.

HubSpot's approach, embedded directly within their platform, allows businesses of any size to immediately benefit from AI without requiring large teams or hefty budgets. With tools designed to improve sales, marketing, and customer service, SMBs can now move faster, personalize customer experiences, and automate repetitive tasks to save time and improve efficiency.

Whether it’s automating support, optimizing sales outreach, or scaling content creation, HubSpot’s new features provide businesses with the tools they need to succeed in the AI-driven landscape.

As AI continues to reshape business operations, HubSpot’s mission remains clear: to provide SMBs with technology that empowers them to keep pace with the future of work.
