It’s been said our fascination with artificial intelligence (AI) began in 1939 as we watched a tin man skip his way down a yellow brick road. Since then, generations of scientists have pursued the vision of AI, creating bigger, better, and “smarter” machines. In an age dominated by technology, we’re never surprised to learn about a system or program that’s more powerful. The news that does have people talking is the advent of technology that makes programs more personal.
On November 30, 2022, OpenAI introduced the ChatGPT chatbot, a natural language model designed to interact with users in a dialogue format that OpenAI says “makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer follow-up questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests.” ChatGPT intrigued and excited HubSpot founder and CTO Dharmesh Shah as it represented a bridge to what he referred to as ChatUX, the ability to put a natural chat interface on software. This vision inspired him and the HubSpot team to create ChatSpot, an app Shah called “a ChatGPT-powered A.I. tool that helps you grow better.”
What is HubSpot ChatSpot.ai?
ChatSpot is a conversational bot (an AI-Copilot) that personalizes and streamlines HubSpot CRM activities by allowing users to make requests using natural language queries. Instead of conducting a search, users can ask ChatSpot for insights, information, or reports as if they were talking to a coworker.
- How many contacts are assigned to me?
- Show me contacts from Florida.
- Find companies in the automotive industry with over 250 employees.
- Discover companies in Wisconsin that use both HubSpot and WordPress, sort by employee size
Users can also ask ChatSpot to complete tasks that would otherwise require time-consuming manual data entry, research, or development.
- Draft an email for sending to prospects in the food industry.
- Show me my monthly website traffic for last year as a bar chart.
- Create a report of companies added in Q4 summarized by state.
ChatSpot integrates information from within the HubSpot CRM with other programs including DALL-E 2, Google Sheets, Google Slides, Stable Diffusion, and keyword research to provide the requested information in the requested form.
In addition to accessing all the data and analytics within the CRM, ChatSpot’s integration with ChatGPT allows access to information outside of the CRM. Parameters like geographical location or population can be gathered by ChatGPT and combined with internal organization data gathered by ChatSpot.
HubSpot ChatSpot.ai Features (2024)
By creating a simpler and more personalized user experience, ChatSpot creates opportunities to improve and streamline a variety of HubSpot activities related to Sales & CRM, reporting, and marketing.
ChatSpot for Sales & CRM
ChatSpot’s conversational interface simplifies the process of finding information about the contacts and companies stored in your database. Determining how many contacts meet one or multiple criteria requires a single natural question like, “How many contacts with over 100 employees are there in Ohio?” And in moments, ChatSpot provides the answer to your query.
ChatSpot simplifies tasks like adding contacts, planning follow-ups, associating records, and assigning owners. For example, adding a new contact and requesting a follow-up - a task that could require up to 20 steps - can be accomplished using a single simple language request.
ChatSpot also facilitates company research by allowing users to request high-level information about an organization by simply asking, “Research CompanyZ.com.”
ChatSpot can help with prospecting by responding to criteria-based questions like “find widget companies in Illinois with over 1500 employees.” Users can review the results and add pertinent companies to HubSpot with a single click.
Users can ask ChatSpot to create communication materials, such as emails written to specific contacts about specified topics. ChatSpot takes contextual information from within the CRM and leverages ChatGPT’s advanced writing functionality to quickly create a draft that can be edited and saved for pasting into an email or a HubSpot sales sequence.

ChatSpot for Marketing
ChatSpot gives marketers a range of functionalities to better view, filter, manage, and present data. Users can, for example, research the keywords a company is ranking for. From there, one could explore a particular keyword, see its volume and position, and consider options for improvement. You could ask ChatSpot to draft a blog post about a topic that would include the keyword in question and generate an image that fits the context of the post while following your specified visual style preferences. And the finished post can be saved in HubSpot for editing or posting as desired.
Marketers can also utilize ChatSpot to generate reports for internal presentations like summaries of website visits or generated leads. Reports can be generated and formatted as graphs or tables to suit the situation and saved or sent to your email for handy reference.
