How can you use AI tools in combination with HubSpot

AI-Driven Use Cases Inside HubSpot

It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the number of tools out there, but the value of AI isn’t in the tech alone. It’s in how it’s applied inside your actual marketing, sales, and service workflows.

Below are four high-impact ways SaaS and Tech businesses are using AI tools in combination with HubSpot. These aren’t just theoretical; they’re grounded in real-world use cases we’ve seen implemented successfully.

 

Smarter Lead Scoring with Predictive AI

HubSpot’s default lead scoring is rule-based: “Add 5 points if a contact opened an email,” and so on. While useful, it doesn’t adapt as your market or buying behaviour changes.

By integrating AI (either via HubSpot’s own predictive scoring for Enterprise, or external tools like MadKudu or Segment with custom ML models), you can surface which leads are actually likely to convert based on behavioural trends, not just predefined actions.

Practical outcome:
  • Sales teams prioritise accounts more effectively
  • Marketing knows which MQLs are most likely to engage
  • You reduce pipeline waste and improve conversion rates

 

Hyper-Personalised Email Journey

Using tools like Jasper or ChatGPT with dynamic fields and if/then logic inside HubSpot, you can create emails that feel tailored without writing every version by hand.

Example: If someone signs up for a demo but hasn’t interacted since, use AI to generate a more personalised re-engagement email that mirrors their industry or challenge.

Tips for SaaS teams:
  • Reference product use cases that match the user’s role or company size
  • Adjust tone and length using tools like Lavender to suit early-stage vs enterprise buyers
  • Use behavioural triggers (e.g. “clicked feature page”) to activate contextual sequences

 

Faster Campaign Content Creation

Campaign planning often stalls at the content bottleneck. But using AI, you can move from idea to draft much faster, while still keeping your messaging aligned.

Let’s say you’re launching a product update campaign. Use Jasper to draft the email, Surfer SEO to prep the blog post, and ChatGPT to write customer support snippets or KB updates. All of it flows into your HubSpot assets.

Bonus for tech brands:
  • Keep consistency across formats (email, blog, chatbot)
  • Shorten launch timelines without sacrificing quality
  • Enable junior team members to produce more with less support

 

AI-Assisted Reporting & Insight Generation

Most businesses and marketing teams track everything, but often miss the story in the data. Tools like ChatGPT or Claude (via Slack or Notion integrations) can analyse HubSpot reports and surface actionable trends.

You might ask:

“What changed in our MQL to SQL conversion last month by source?”

The AI can highlight a drop tied to demo request quality or surface anomalies you didn’t see in the dashboards.

Use cases:

  • Post-campaign retros
  • Monthly growth summaries
  • Board reporting or C-suite insights

 

Real-World Examples: HubSpot + AI in Action

Theory is useful. But results are what matter. Below are two examples that show how SaaS and tech teams are applying AI tools within HubSpot workflows to save time, improve campaign effectiveness, and boost engagement.

Example 1: AI-Enhanced Email Personalisation for a SaaS Sales Funnel

The problem:

A mid-sized B2B SaaS company had strong lead volume but poor conversion from MQL to SQL. Their email nurturing sequences were generic—written once, lightly segmented, and largely ignored by their prospects.

The fix:

They used a combination of ChatGPT and Lavender to rework the messaging in their HubSpot sequences. AI helped generate more tailored messages based on persona, buying stage and known tech stack. Lavender adjusted tone to suit each industry (e.g. formal for fintech, casual for startups).

Results:
  • 27% increase in email reply rates
  • 2.1x improvement in SQL conversion within 6 weeks
  • Sales team reported stronger relevance and faster responses

Key takeaway: AI added context and variation at scale, without adding hours of copywriting or rewriting to the process.

 

Example 2: Campaign Creation for a Product Launch – From Weeks to Days

The problem:

A scale-up launching a new integration feature needed to roll out a campaign quickly. Content was the blocker: product marketing had a delay on the blog post, customer support needed KB articles, and the marketing team lacked capacity.

The fix:

They used Jasper to draft a launch blog post and supporting social copy. ChatGPT created FAQ-style snippets for customer support and chatbot flows. Meanwhile, Surfer SEO helped optimise the article to rank for the integration’s core use cases.

All content was uploaded and structured directly in HubSpot:

  • Blog post in CMS
  • Email launch sequence built with smart content blocks
  • Chatbot flow updated in Service Hub with product FAQs
Results:
  • Full campaign ready in 5 working days (previous average: 12+)
  • Blog ranked in the top 3 for the integration term within two weeks
  • 18% uplift in activation from new sign-ups linked to the feature

Key takeaway: Using AI to reduce content friction helped them move fast, stay consistent, and activate leads more effectively.

 

🧭 How to Plan an AI + HubSpot Strategy

AI isn’t a silver bullet—and trying to bolt it onto every process without a plan is a fast track to confusion and inefficiency.

If you’re a SaaS or tech business using HubSpot, the smartest move is to treat AI as a layer that enhances what you’re already doing. This means building a roadmap that prioritises practical wins, fits your team’s workflow, and evolves as you scale.

Here’s a clear, four-phase approach to help you get started.

Phase 1: Audit What You Already Have

Before layering in new tools, assess your current HubSpot setup. Where are the bottlenecks? Where is manual effort slowing down growth or consistency?

Focus your audit on:

  • Content creation: Which assets are always behind schedule or take too much time?
  • Sales enablement: Where does personalisation break down?
  • Reporting: Are insights buried in dashboards or spreadsheets no one reads?
  • Customer onboarding: Is support content outdated, slow to create, or inconsistent?
  • Identify 2–3 areas where AI could either save time or improve quality.

Phase 2: Prioritise Use Cases, Not Tools

It’s tempting to chase the latest AI product, but this often leads to tool fatigue. Instead, match use cases to pain points from your audit.

Examples:
  • Need faster campaign execution? → Use Jasper or ChatGPT to create draft content.
  • Need personalised email outreach? → Use Lavender or Crystal with HubSpot sequences.
  • Need faster onboarding documentation? → Use Scribe or Tango to auto-generate guides.
  • Need insights from CRM data? → Use ChatGPT to summarise reports or meeting notes.

Limit your focus to one or two high-impact changes at first.

 

Phase 3: Test, Integrate and Iterate

Once you’ve identified your top priorities:

  • Choose a pilot team or campaign
  • Connect AI tools using Zapier, native integrations, or HubSpot’s Operations Hub
  • Monitor time saved, conversion rates, or content output

Track results, but also ask your team how the process feels. Friction is a sign of poor fit or poor timing.

Tip: Don’t roll out AI across the business until the core use case is embedded and understood.

 

Phase 4: Document and Scale What Work

Once you’ve found a groove, the final step is to document your approach so it’s repeatable.

This includes:

  • AI toolkits for team onboarding
  • Templates or prompt libraries for content creation
  • Workflow diagrams showing when and how AI is used
  • Safeguards for editing, brand tone and review processes

You can then scale usage across campaigns, teams or lifecycle stages with consistency.
