At HubSpot's Spring 2026 Spotlight, we announced new and updated products to help go-to-market teams build awareness, grow revenue, and scale support. All built on the same principle: AI works better when it knows your business. That is HubSpot's context advantage.
"Most AI tools have access to data. What they don't have is context," said Duncan Lennox, Chief Product and Technology Officer at HubSpot. "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."
The updates we've launched in the Spring 2026 Spotlight use HubSpot's context advantage to help customers build awareness, grow revenue, and scale support.
Build awareness with HubSpot AEO and Breeze Assistant for Loop Marketing
Building awareness is one of the hardest jobs for a marketer today. Getting discovered not only requires creating campaigns that reflect your brand and your customers, but making sure you're showing up in the right channels. Breeze Assistant and HubSpot AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) help marketers do both.
Organic traffic for HubSpot customers is down 27% year-over-year* while industry reports say AI referral traffic generally has tripled**. The opportunity has shifted: traffic from LLMs is converting at a higher rate than traditional channels. HubSpot AEO is a new solution for answer engine optimization that helps marketers tap into that opportunity by understanding, tracking, and optimizing how their business appears in answer engines like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity.
HubSpot's AEO tool is available with a Marketing Hub Pro and Enterprise plan, or as a dedicated solution for $50/month with no plan required. Both offerings include competitor benchmarking, citation analysis, and prioritized recommendations.
For Marketing Hub Pro and Enterprise users, the embedded AEO tool goes further: it's the first and only solution to use a customer's own data to suggest prompts that real customers are likely to use in LLMs. Other solutions ask you to guess, and that means you risk optimizing for the wrong prompts.
Read the full story on HubSpot AEO.
Breeze Assistant is now trained on Loop Marketing, HubSpot's playbook for how to market using AI. This means Breeze Assistant can help marketers define ideal customer profiles (ICPs), build brand guides, and create campaign briefs. This guidance is grounded in their actual customer context, not generic marketing advice. A team new to Loop can go from no framework knowledge to launching a campaign in days.
Other Breeze Assistant improvements include:
Grow revenue with Prospecting Agent and Smart Deal Progression
Often sales teams lose deals because they're buried in the admin work of selling: researching accounts, chasing contacts, updating CRMs, writing follow-ups. That takes time and time kills deals. The updated Prospecting Agent and the all-new Smart Deal Progression solve those challenges, so reps spend their time on what actually wins deals.
Prospecting Agent now handles the full prospecting lifecycle, drawing from your full CRM history and intent signals at each stage. Results from early users of Prospecting Agent show response rates of outreach are hitting 2x the industry benchmark*.
New for Spring Spotlight, Prospecting Agent: :
Now available with a 28-day free trial, at just $1 per recommended lead.
Unlike tools that stop at a summary, Smart Deal Progression acts like a rep's second brain, writing follow-ups and suggesting updates that reflect the full account relationship, not just the last conversation.
After every call between a rep and a prospect, Smart Deal Progression analyzes the transcript alongside the full deal history to suggest CRM updates, draft a follow-up email, and surface action items.
Scale support with Customer Agent
Hiring more support staff to handle growing ticket volume is expensive and slow. HubSpot's Customer Agent offers a different answer: an AI agent that works alongside human reps, handling routine questions around the clock so teams can focus on the issues that actually need a human.
Customer Agent now works with a team's highest traffic support channel: email. Teams using Customer Agent alongside Help Desk are seeing 50% more tickets resolved and 29% faster resolution rates.* And on average, Customer Agent resolves 70% of conversations, with top teams reaching 90%*, drawing on the full customer relationship, not just the ticket in front of it.
New capabilities give teams more control over how the agent behaves across every channel: 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.
The more context it has, the better it gets.
Now available with a 28-day free trial, at just $0.50 per resolution.
