Use Hubspot AI to Analyze and Tag Your Files

Hubspot now lets you apply AI file insights and smart tags directly from your file manager, helping you quickly understand, organize, and reuse documents, images, and videos across your marketing and sales assets.

This guide walks through how the feature works, how to enable it, and how to start generating insights safely while keeping control of your content.

What Are AI File Insights in Hubspot?

AI file insights automatically scan a supported file and generate a structured summary you can reuse in content, campaigns, or internal documentation.

When you open the right panel for a compatible file, you can ask questions or request tailored insights. The system uses generative AI to return quick, contextual answers based on the file’s content.

Supported File Types for AI Insights

Hubspot AI file insights currently support:

• Documents such as PDFs and text-based files
• Images
• Video files

Files outside these categories will still appear in your file manager, but they will not offer AI insight options.

How Hubspot AI File Tagging Works

Alongside insights, AI can create descriptive tags for your files, making them easier to search and filter inside the file manager.

These AI-generated tags are based on the content of each file. You can review them, accept them, or remove them at any time.

Benefits of AI File Tags in Hubspot

• Faster search across assets by theme or topic
• Consistent tagging even across large libraries
• Less manual data entry for marketing and sales teams

How to Enable AI File Insights in Hubspot

Before users can generate insights, a super admin must turn the feature on in the account settings.

1. Sign in as a super admin.

2. Open your Hubspot settings.

3. Navigate to the AI or files configuration section, depending on your portal layout.

4. Review the terms for generative AI features.

5. Enable AI file insights so users can analyze supported files from the file manager.

Once enabled, users with access to the file manager can start generating AI summaries and tags where supported.

How to Generate AI File Insights in Hubspot

After the feature is active, you can generate insights directly from the file manager in Hubspot.

Step-by-Step: Opening a File for AI Analysis

1. Go to the main navigation and open the file manager.

2. Use folders, filters, or search to find the file you want to analyze.

3. Click the file name to open its preview and the details panel.

4. Look for the AI insights area in the right panel.

Step-by-Step: Asking for AI Insights

1. In the insights panel, enter a prompt or question about the file. Examples:

   • “Summarize the main points of this PDF for an email.”
   • “List three use cases suggested by this case study.”
   • “Describe the key elements in this product image.”

2. Submit your prompt and wait for the response.

3. Review the AI-generated output. You can copy it or refine your prompt and ask again.

Prompts should be specific and action-oriented. The more precise your request, the more helpful the AI response is likely to be.

Using AI-Generated Tags in Hubspot File Manager

When AI tagging is available for a file, the system may suggest tags based on themes, topics, or objects identified in the content.

How to Review and Manage AI Tags

1. Open the file in the Hubspot file manager.

2. Locate the tags section in the details panel.

3. Review any AI-suggested tags for accuracy.

4. Remove irrelevant tags and add missing tags manually as needed.

These tags help users quickly locate relevant content when building emails, landing pages, blogs, or other assets.

Privacy and Data Use for Hubspot AI Features

When you use AI insights, some file data may be sent to external AI providers to process your request. Hubspot discloses how this data is used and stored in its generative AI documentation.

Key considerations include:

• Only files you choose to analyze are processed for insights.
• Data handling follows the platform’s AI usage and privacy standards.
• You should avoid uploading files that contain sensitive information not intended for such processing.

For full details about how AI file insights work and how data is processed, review the official documentation on Hubspot’s knowledge base at this page about AI file analysis.

Best Practices for Using Hubspot AI File Insights

To get maximum value while keeping information accurate, teams should adopt a few practical habits.

Craft Clear Prompts

• Ask for a specific outcome, such as “write a short summary for a landing page” instead of “summarize this.”
• Mention the target audience when useful, such as “for new leads” or “for internal training.”
• Include the format you want: bullet list, short paragraph, or outline.

Always Review and Edit Output

• Treat AI insights as a draft, not a final version.
• Verify facts, figures, and dates mentioned in the response.
• Adapt the tone to match your brand voice and guidelines.

Organize Your File Library in Hubspot

• Use folders and naming conventions alongside AI tags.
• Regularly clean up old or duplicate files.
• Encourage teams to tag new assets as they are uploaded.

When to Use Hubspot AI File Insights

AI file insights are most helpful when you need fast understanding of complex or long assets.

• Summarizing long PDFs before drafting campaigns
• Extracting key ideas from slide decks
• Describing visual content for alt text or internal documentation
• Building quick briefs for copywriters or designers

By combining human review with AI-driven insights, teams can shorten research time and keep content aligned with strategic goals.
