Engine 07 / 07 Vol. 05 / The Core Loop

Put AI agents to work. Keep people in charge.

This engine sets up HubSpot’s AI agents for the work your team repeats every day.

Each agent follows written rules. Hard cases go to a person.

01The Problem

Switching an agent on is easy. Trusting it is harder.

On why agent rollouts stall.

HubSpot now includes AI agents that answer customers and research leads.

Switched on without a plan, an agent answers from out-of-date pages. It also misses the moments when a person should take over.

The work is choosing the right jobs and setting the rules.

02What This Engine Does

Agents that work inside HubSpot.

01 / 03

Customer agent

Answers questions in chat and email using your help content. Hands complex or sensitive cases to your team, with the conversation attached.

OutcomeFaster answers. Fewer tickets for your team.
02 / 03

Prospecting agent

Researches new leads and recommends outreach. Your reps approve each message before it goes out.

OutcomeMore researched leads each week.
03 / 03

Data agent

Answers a set question about each record, such as a company’s industry. It saves the answer to the record.

OutcomeFewer blank fields in your reports.

HubSpot releases new agents often. We test each one before it reaches your customers.

03How We Set It Up

Set up each agent step by step.

Step 01

Choose the jobs

We review the questions and tasks your team handles today. We pick the ones an agent can do well and safely.

OutputA shortlist of agent jobs
Step 02

Prepare the sources

We audit the help articles, web pages and documents an agent will read. We fix gaps and remove out-of-date content.

OutputReviewed knowledge sources
Step 03

Set the rules

We write down the topics each agent must leave to a person. We set the conditions that hand a case to your team.

OutputGuardrails and handoff rules
Step 04

Test before launch

We test each agent against real enquiries before customers see it. It starts on a narrow set of questions and widens as its answers prove accurate.

OutputTest results and a rollout plan
Step 05

Review every month

We report on volume, resolution rate, handoffs and customer feedback. Your pod adjusts the sources and rules each sprint.

OutputA monthly quality review
Step 06

Train your team

We show your team how to review conversations. They learn to update an agent’s sources and rules themselves.

OutputTeam training
04Governed by Design

Every agent works under guardrails.

On AI Agent Governance.

Each agent runs under our AI Agent Governance framework. It sets what the agent can do and when it hands off to a person.

Governance comes with every engagement.

05How It Connects

Agents work at every stage.

On where this engine fits in the Core Loop.

The Prospecting agent feeds researched leads into the Lead-to-Pipeline Engine.

The Customer agent answers routine questions. Your team then has more time for the renewals and risks in the Customer Retention Engine.

The Data Integrity & Control Layer keeps the records agents read accurate.
