Key Insights from the Webinar
1. Understanding AI in Business
The conversation began with a breakdown of two major AI types:
-
Generative AI – Requires human input to guide its outputs.
-
Agentic AI – Operates more independently, making decisions based on learned patterns.
The panelists emphasized that while AI is a powerful tool, it works best when combined with human expertise and strategic oversight.
2. Maximizing HubSpot’s AI Capabilities
A key insight was that only 7% of businesses fully utilize HubSpot’s capabilities. Common challenges include:
- Lack of strategic execution—technology alone isn’t a fix for broken processes.

- Sales and marketing roles are evolving, but AI enhances human skills rather than replacing them.
