The Rise of AI-Powered CRM Teams

 

The way businesses operate their CRM is fundamentally changing. No longer are companies limited to static databases and manual workflows—today's most competitive organizations are building hybrid teams of humans and AI agents that work together to drive growth.

HubSpot's Breeze Marketplace represents a significant leap forward in this evolution. Launched as part of HubSpot's Fall 2025 Spotlight, this AI app store gives businesses access to over 20 pre-built AI agents and assistants designed to automate workflows across marketing, sales, and service functions.

But with great power comes great responsibility. Understanding how to find the right agents, evaluate their fit for your business, and deploy them effectively is crucial for maximizing your ROI.

In this comprehensive guide, you'll learn:

  • What the Breeze Marketplace is and how it integrates with HubSpot
  • How to navigate and find the right AI agents for your needs
  • Best practices for evaluating agents before deployment
  • Step-by-step instructions for deploying and customizing agents
  • How to measure success and optimize your AI team over time

What is the Breeze Marketplace?

The Breeze Marketplace is HubSpot's centralized hub for discovering, browsing, and installing pre-built AI agents and assistants. Think of it as an app store specifically designed for AI-powered automation within the HubSpot ecosystem.

Key Components of the Breeze Platform

Breeze Marketplace: The discovery layer where you can browse and install AI agents built by HubSpot for specific marketing, sales, and service use cases. Each agent comes pre-trained and ready to deploy.

Breeze Studio: The customization workshop where you can tailor installed agents to your specific business needs. Here, you can adjust behaviors, add knowledge sources, set up automation triggers, and create entirely custom assistants.

Breeze Assistant: Your AI companion that works alongside you in HubSpot, your browser, and mobile app. It remembers your preferences, creates content using your brand voice, and handles dozens of everyday tasks.

Why Breeze Marketplace Matters

Unlike standalone AI tools that operate in isolation, Breeze agents are embedded directly into your HubSpot workflows and powered by your unified customer data in the Smart CRM. This means:

  • Contextual Intelligence: Agents understand your entire customer journey, not just isolated interactions
  • Seamless Integration: No data exports, API configurations, or third-party connectors required
  • Unified Data Foundation: AI decisions are informed by your contacts, companies, deals, tickets, and communication history

How to Evaluate AI Agents Before Deployment

Not every agent will be the right fit for your organization. Use this evaluation framework to make informed decisions.

Step 1: Assess Business Alignment

Before installing an agent, ask yourself:

  • Does this solve a real problem? Identify the specific workflow or task that needs improvement
  • Is there sufficient volume? AI agents provide the most value for repetitive, high-volume tasks
  • Do we have the data? Agents need access to relevant CRM data to function effectively
  • Who will manage this? Designate an AI champion to oversee deployment and optimization

Step 2: Review Requirements and Permissions

Each agent has specific requirements:

  • Subscription Level: Some features require Professional or Enterprise subscriptions
  • HubSpot Credits: Many agents consume credits per action (e.g., Data Agent = 10 credits per research prompt, Customer Agent = 100 credits per conversation)
  • User Permissions: Ensure relevant team members have Breeze Studio permissions

Step 3: Evaluate Integration Points

Consider how the agent will work with your existing setup:

  • Workflow Compatibility: Can the agent trigger or be triggered by your existing workflows?
  • Data Access: Does the agent need access to data your team already tracks?
  • Tool Dependencies: If an agent uses features (like landing pages) that users don't have access to, they won't be able to run it

Step 4: Pilot Before Full Deployment

Start small:

  • Begin with one team or use case
  • Set clear success metrics before launching
  • Gather feedback during the pilot period
  • Document learnings for wider rollout

Step-by-Step Guide to Deploying AI Agents

Once you've selected an agent, follow these steps for successful deployment.

  4. Choose to Start from scratch or describe what the assistant should do

Customization Options

Welcome Message: Set the initial greeting users see when they open the assistant. Use rich text formatting to make it engaging.

Assistant Instructions: Define how the assistant should behave. Specify its role, tone, and approach. Include what topics it should (and shouldn't) address.

Conversation Starters: Create prompts that help users begin conversations. Examples: "Summarize my recent CRM updates," "Draft an email to a prospect," "Show me contact activity from this week"

Knowledge Access: Enable "Browse the web" for external information. Enable "Read your HubSpot CRM records" for internal data. Connect knowledge vaults with company-specific information.

  1. Click Publish to make it available
  2. Configure access settings:
    • Owners and super admins can edit and run
    • Owners and super admins can edit, everyone can run
    • Everyone can edit and run

Best Practices for AI Agent Success

Follow these guidelines to maximize the value of your Breeze AI team.

Data Foundation First

The power of Breeze comes from your unified CRM data. Before deploying agents:

  • Clean your data: Remove duplicates, fix inconsistencies, and update stale records
  • Standardize properties: Ensure consistent formatting across contacts, companies, and deals
  • Connect all sources: Use Data Hub to sync external data into your Smart CRM

Start Small, Scale Gradually

Resist the temptation to deploy multiple agents at once:

  1. Deploy one agent to one team
  2. Establish baseline metrics
  3. Measure improvement over 30-60 days
  4. Document learnings and optimize
  5. Expand to additional teams or use cases

Maintain Human Oversight

AI agents are teammates, not replacements:

  • Configure approval workflows for sensitive actions
  • Set up guardrails for what agents can and cannot do
  • Review agent outputs regularly
  • Gather feedback from team members who interact with agents

Monitor Credit Usage

Track your HubSpot credit consumption:

Agent/Action Credits Used
Data Agent research prompt 10 credits
Customer Agent conversation 100 credits
Workflow AI actions 10 credits per run

Set alerts when usage approaches limits to avoid disruption.

Iterate Based on Results

Use HubSpot's analytics to track agent performance:

  • Customer Agent: Track tickets resolved, conversations handled, customer satisfaction
  • Prospecting Agent: Monitor leads qualified, meetings booked, response rates
  • Data Agent: Measure time saved on research, data enrichment accuracy

Refine instructions and configurations based on what the data tells you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Breeze Marketplace in HubSpot?

The Breeze Marketplace is HubSpot's app store for AI agents and assistants. It allows you to discover, browse, and install pre-built AI tools designed for marketing, sales, and service workflows, all integrated directly with your HubSpot Smart CRM.

How much does it cost to use Breeze AI agents?

Breeze AI features are included with HubSpot Professional and Enterprise subscriptions. Many agent actions consume HubSpot credits—for example, Data Agent uses 10 credits per research prompt, and Customer Agent uses 100 credits per conversation. Credit costs vary by feature.

Do I need technical skills to deploy Breeze agents?

No. Breeze Marketplace and Breeze Studio are designed to be no-code tools. You can install, customize, and deploy agents without programming knowledge. However, having someone familiar with your business processes and HubSpot workflows will help you configure agents effectively.

Can I customize pre-built agents from the marketplace?

Yes. After installing an agent from the Breeze Marketplace, you can clone it in Breeze Studio and customize inputs, add extra instructions, connect knowledge sources, and configure automation triggers. Default instructions cannot be edited, but you can add supplementary guidance.

What's the difference between agents and assistants?

Agents automate tasks and perform actions in your HubSpot account (like researching leads or resolving tickets). Assistants provide information, answer questions, and generate content through conversation. Agents take longer due to task complexity, while assistants prioritize speed.

How do I know which agents are right for my business?

Evaluate agents based on: (1) whether they solve a real problem for your team, (2) whether you have sufficient task volume to benefit from automation, (3) whether you have the data they need, and (4) whether you have the required subscription and credits. Start with core agents like Customer Agent or Data Agent before expanding.

Is my data secure when using Breeze AI agents?

Yes. HubSpot built Breeze with trust and transparency in mind. Agents respect existing user permissions and can only access records users already have access to. Sensitive Data Properties are excluded from AI processing, and data stays within your region's HubSpot data center.
