In HubSpot, you can use AI assistants to create or refine pages, blog posts, knowledge base articles, calls-to-actions (CTAs), social posts, and marketing or sales emails. Learn more about using AI assistants to generate social posts and blog posts

Using artificial intelligence, you can generate ideas, outlines, or paragraphs for a specific topic, as well as create variations of existing writing.

Please note: Please avoid sharing any sensitive information in your prompts. To improve the product, HubSpot logs and stores your prompts, generated language, and usage metrics when you use AI assistants. HubSpot shares your prompts with OpenAI in order to enable your use of this tool and OpenAI will store your prompts for content moderation purposes. Your prompts will be attributable to you. By using this tool in beta, you agree to comply with HubSpot’s Beta Terms as well as OpenAI’s Usage Policies, Content Policy, and Sharing & Publication Policy.

Understand AI-generated content best practices

  • Proofread and edit your AI-generated content before publishing it.
  • Edit AI-generated content to maintain your brand's voice and style.
  • Balance the use of AI-generated content with content written by a human.
  • While HubSpot has security measures in place, AI assistants may occasionally generate incorrect, biased, offensive, or misleading information. Verify the accuracy of the output's content, especially any statistics or facts.
  • The large language model that powers AI assistants tends to produce inconsistent results in non-English languages. HubSpot is working on better supporting these languages in the coming months. For now, use extra care in checking non-English content for accuracy and clarity. 

Edit settings for AI assistants

By default, content assets like blog posts and website pages will be eligible for users to create AI-generated content. AI assistant features in tools that involve customer data, such as the conversations inbox, are turned off by default. 

To change your settings for AI assistants: 

  • In your HubSpot account, click the settings settings icon in the top navigation bar.
  • In the left sidebar menu, navigate to AI Assistants.
  • Read through the terms of use for AI assistants, then select the checkbox. You cannot use AI assistants with this checkbox cleared.
