SAAS UPDATE
Hubspot Rolls Out ChatSpot.ai
Early this week, Hubspot launched ChatSpot.ai in public alpha to help users get things done in a more natural and conversational way.
The conversational CRM chatbot will add contacts and companies to HubSpot CRM on the user’s behalf, create custom reports related to marketing, sales, and customer service, and write professional and effective sales emails that are personalized to the recipient.
Hubspot also rolled out a content assistant in private beta to help marketing and sales teams easily come up with ideas, create copy, and share high-quality content faster.
The tool is designed to improve content marketing workflows, generate blog post ideas and outlines, and write blog posts, landing pages, knowledge-base articles, and other content.
Offering AI-powered tools gives Hubspot a competitive advantage, as its competitors have yet to offer similar services. AI can also create new revenue streams for Hubspot. The company can charge premium prices or upsell to customers who need these features, or a more advanced version of the feature, just like OpenAI did for ChatGPT.
The move will also improve the user experience, giving them a way to automate repetitive CRM tasks to improve the accuracy and speed of tasks.
Hubspot’s investment in AI is only the beginning of many more to come in the SaaS industry. In the coming months, more SaaS companies will roll out AI-powered solutions, especially with OpenAI launching an API to make ChatGPT available to enterprise customers. There’s no doubt that many companies will find a way to leverage the technology for their own use cases.
