How to Use HubSpot AI (Breeze) in 2026: Beginner Guide

Breeze Copilot's value comes entirely from CRM context — it can reference a contact's job title, deal stage, and email history automatically, something no standalone AI chatbot can do. Here's how to use it, plus Breeze Agents and Intelligence.

What HubSpot's Breeze AI Actually Does

HubSpot's Breeze AI is a unified AI layer built into the CRM, made of three components: Breeze Copilot (a conversational assistant in the CRM sidebar), Breeze Agents (autonomous workers for content, social, prospecting, and support), and Breeze Intelligence (AI-powered contact and company data enrichment).

What Breeze AI Does Best

Drafting personalized outreach using live CRM data

Ask Copilot to draft a follow-up email and it pulls the contact's name, company, deal stage, and last interaction automatically — no manual context-pasting required, unlike a general-purpose AI chatbot.

Getting Started: Account Setup

Go to hubspot.com and sign up for the free CRM — basic Breeze AI features are included, enough to evaluate Copilot before upgrading to Starter for the full toolset.

Breeze Copilot: The AI Sidebar Assistant

How to Use Breeze Copilot

  1. Open any contact or deal record in the CRM
  2. Click the Breeze Copilot icon in the sidebar
  3. Ask it to draft a follow-up email, summarize the deal history, or generate a meeting prep brief
  4. Review and send — output typically needs minimal editing since it's already grounded in real contact data

Copilot's strength is specifically in tasks tied to CRM records — summarizing a contact's history or personalizing outreach. For general content unrelated to a specific contact, it performs similarly to a mid-tier standalone AI writer.

Breeze Agents: Autonomous Tasks

Breeze Agents handle repeatable tasks without ongoing human input: a Content Agent (drafts and publishes blog posts from a topic brief), a Social Agent (schedules and creates social content), a Prospecting Agent (identifies leads matching your ideal customer profile), and a Customer Service Agent (handles inbound queries before routing to a human).

How to Set Up the Prospecting Agent

  1. Go to Breeze Agents → Prospecting Agent
  2. Define your ideal customer profile (industry, company size, role)
  3. The agent surfaces matching companies using Breeze Intelligence's data and drafts personalized outreach for review
  4. Review and approve outreach before it sends — the agent doesn't send unsupervised by default
Pro Tip

Start with the Prospecting Agent, not all four at once

It's the standout agent for reducing manual research time in outbound sales. Get comfortable with one agent's output quality before layering on Content, Social, and Customer Service agents.

Breeze Intelligence: Data Enrichment

How to Enrich Contact Data

  1. Go to a contact or company record
  2. Click Enrich with Breeze Intelligence
  3. HubSpot pulls additional firmographic and contact data automatically, filling gaps in your CRM record

This is what feeds the Prospecting Agent's ability to identify ICP-matching companies — richer underlying data means better-targeted, more personalized automated outreach.

Full Workflow: Personalized Outreach at Scale

Here's how the pieces combine for a sales outreach workflow:

Step 1

Define your ICP and let the Prospecting Agent surface matches

Enriched via Breeze Intelligence, the agent identifies companies that fit your target profile.

Step 2

Review agent-drafted outreach for each prospect

Each draft references real company and contact data — spot-check for accuracy before sending.

Step 3 — ongoing

Use Copilot for follow-ups as deals progress

Once a prospect responds, Copilot drafts contextual follow-ups referencing the live deal stage and conversation history.

Step 4

Let the Customer Service Agent handle initial support once deals close

Post-sale queries route through the agent first, escalating to a human only when needed.
