What You Need to Know About HubSpot's AI Breeze Studio

HubSpot’s Breeze Studio offers Agents and Assistants to help businesses work smarter. Agents handle complex workflows autonomously, while Assistants support teams with tasks like drafting emails, generating content, and summarizing data. Together, they save time, improve consistency, and help small and mid-sized businesses scale efficiently.

Artificial intelligence isn’t just about automating tasks anymore — it’s about building smarter, more adaptable business processes. HubSpot’s new Breeze Studio puts that power directly into the hands of businesses, with two key tools: Agents and Assistants. While they sound similar, they serve very different purposes. Knowing how to use each — and where they fit in your workflows — can give your team a serious edge.

Agents vs. Assistants: What’s the Difference?

The easiest way to understand the difference is to think about who’s in the driver’s seat.

• Assistants are like copilots. You give them direction — “summarize this meeting,” “draft me a social media post,” “show me the key deals for Q3” — and they help you get it done faster. They rely on you to initiate the task.

• Agents, on the other hand, are more like autopilot. Once you’ve configured them in Breeze Studio, they don’t wait around for you to ask. They can take action when conditions are met, run processes end-to-end, and keep working behind the scenes.

For small and mid-sized businesses, this difference is crucial. Assistants make your team more productive day-to-day, while Agents actually take whole chunks of work off your plate.

Practical Examples of Agents and Assistants

Imagine you run a B2B software company. Your sales reps spend hours every week researching leads, drafting outreach emails, and logging notes into your CRM. With a Prospecting Agent, those reps could have qualified leads automatically surfaced, complete with AI-crafted outreach emails written in your brand’s voice. Instead of digging for information, your reps could spend their time actually talking to prospects.

Now let’s say your customer success team fields dozens of similar questions every day: “How do I reset my password?” or “Where can I find your integration guide?” An Assistant trained on your knowledge base can draft clear, accurate responses instantly. Your support staff can focus on the trickier, high-touch cases while routine questions are handled in seconds.

Or consider a marketing team preparing for a new product launch. An Assistant can help draft campaign briefs, pull data from past launches, and even generate a week’s worth of social posts. Meanwhile, a Knowledge Base Agent can analyze support tickets in real time, spot gaps in your documentation, and even draft new articles for your team to review before the launch.

Why This Matters for Businesses

For small and mid-sized companies, time is the most valuable resource. Agents and Assistants both extend your team’s capacity without adding headcount. The productivity gains add up quickly:

• Sales teams can reach more prospects and move deals forward faster.

• Service teams can handle higher ticket volumes without sacrificing quality.

• Marketing teams can produce content more consistently and keep messaging on brand.

There’s also a consistency advantage. Because both Agents and Assistants can be trained on your company’s brand guidelines, knowledge base, and CRM data, every email, response, and campaign draft stays aligned with your identity. That’s something even large teams struggle with — and now it’s available to smaller businesses at scale.

How to Get Started

Getting started with Breeze doesn’t require an overhaul of your business. The best approach is to begin with one pain point. If your sales team is drowning in research, start with a Prospecting Agent. If your customer support inbox is overflowing, spin up a Support Assistant.

HubSpot makes it easy to explore pre-built Agents and Assistants in the Breeze Marketplace, and from there you can customize them in Breeze Studio to match your business. Bonafide can help you fine-tune these tools — connecting them to the right data sources, shaping their instructions to reflect your brand, and setting up guardrails so you feel confident letting them work.

The key is to start small, measure impact, and expand from there. One Assistant that saves your team an hour a day is a win. When you scale that across your sales, marketing, and service functions, you’re looking at significant time and cost savings.

Where They Make the Biggest Impact

While every business is different, we see the most immediate gains in three areas:

1. Lead Generation and Sales Outreach – Agents that qualify leads, draft personalized outreach, and monitor deal activity can dramatically improve pipeline velocity.

2. Customer Support and Knowledge Management – Assistants that draft responses or Agents that maintain your knowledge base make your service team leaner and faster.

3. Content and Campaign Management – From first drafts of blog posts to social media scheduling to campaign summaries, Assistants act like an extra pair of hands for your marketing team.

Think of it this way: anywhere your team is bogged down by repetitive, manual tasks, Breeze Agents and Assistants can step in. The result isn’t just efficiency — it’s giving your people the freedom to focus on the human side of business: building relationships, solving complex problems, and creating new opportunities.
