INBOUND 2024: What Is Breeze AI by HubSpot & What Are Its Main Capabilities?
We had already suspected AI had already turned sales and marketing on its head, but with HubSpot’s latest update, it’s set to shake the industry to its very roots.
At INBOUND 2024, HubSpot announced the launch of Breeze AI, an integrated set of tools designed to maximize effectiveness and customer engagement from the very beginning of the customer journey.
In this article, we break down the basics of Breeze AI, explore all the functionalities it includes, and show you how, as a HubSpot user, you can elevate your sales and marketing efforts to new heights.
What is Breeze AI?
Breeze is HubSpot's AI that powers the entire customer platform.
Within Breeze AI, there are three distinct capabilities and sub-tools custom-built for sales/marketing automation, hyper-personalization, and customer connectivity.
Breeze Copilot
ChatSpot is now integrated into HubSpot as Breeze Copilot, a virtual assistant that supports you wherever you go within the platform.

- Enhanced Accessibility: Mobile-friendly and available on the HubSpot Chrome browser extension.
- Prompt-Driven Enhancement: Offers new and improved prompts for better summarization, data relay, content generation, recommendations, and more.

Breeze Intelligence
Businesses are finding it harder than ever to deliver personalized messages and outreach at the right time due to lacking context on their target accounts. To add to the pain, buying a stack of traditional third-party intelligence software only leaves you with a mess of tangled, disparate databases that are nearly impossible to integrate and action, and even harder to decipher which is most up to date.
Breeze Intelligence offers B2B enrichment and buyer intent data to help businesses drive new demand and increase conversions throughout the funnel, all directly within HubSpot.
Data Enrichment
Companies are increasingly burdened by siloed and incomplete data due to multiple data providers across various engagement tools. HubSpot’s solution addresses this by offering over 40 continuously refreshed attributes, more than 200 million buyers and company profiles, and automatic enrichment of companies and contacts as they are added to HubSpot. Additionally, they will provide bulk enrichment options and customizable enrichment settings to streamline and simplify data management.
Buyer Intent
If your information is scattered and not integrated into a single, actionable framework, your sales team will naturally run into inefficiencies and may latch onto leads that are unlikely to convert, wasting time and resources.
With Breeze Intelligence, your team can easily identify and prioritize high-fit, high-intent customers based on your target market and website activity.
- Set key company attributes such as location, employee count, and revenue.
- Define intent criteria by selecting important pages on your site, like the pricing page or use case library, and specify the minimum number of visits and recency of activity required.
- With intent orchestration, view an interactive list of high-fit companies showing intent and take immediate action by filtering these companies by your target market, intent level, and whether they are net-new or existing accounts in your HubSpot Smart.
Form Shortening
By requiring known contacts to fill in repetitive or too much information, conversion rates take a hit.
Breeze Intelligence can improve the visitor's experience by minimizing the effort required to fill out forms and reducing the number of fields. Your team will thank you for ensuring high-quality data collection without too many redundant fields.
So What Does This Mean For HubSpot Users?
Just like HubSpot CEO Yamini Rangan said during the HubSpot keynote - right now, AI can accelerate but in the future, AI will transform. We believe that AI is more than just a buzz word, more than just a trend. It's a powerful tool that can help sales, marketing, service, and dev teams to transform the way they work.
With proper set-up and training on the new Breeze AI tools, you can take your team from simply using AI to do some acceleration work for them (i.e. writing an email, summarizing call notes) to using AI as a trusted colleague who can handle previously manual tasks to help them do their job better.
Unlock Breeze AI With Flawless Inbound
To truly tap into the potential of Breeze AI, you need a team with the right skill set. Skills like CRM management, marketing automation, data analytics, and strategic consulting.
Whether it is setting intent criteria or integrating complex systems, it is a tall order to successfully transform your marketing without equipping both your technology and your team for the next phase.
