How to Review AI Agent Output in HubSpot
HubSpot provides built-in tools to review and control what your AI agent sends to customers so you can keep every reply accurate, compliant, and on-brand.
This guide walks through the full review process for AI-generated responses in your help desk conversations, from understanding badges to editing and resending messages.
Where HubSpot AI agent output appears
When you enable an AI agent in your inbox, its responses are surfaced directly in the conversation thread. You can always see which messages came from the AI and what actions you can take next.
There are two main locations where AI output appears in your service workspace:
- The middle conversation column, where full messages and badges display.
- The reply editor at the bottom of the screen, where you can modify text before sending.
You remain in control of all AI communication. The system is designed so that you can review, edit, or regenerate any response before it reaches your customer.
Understanding HubSpot AI response badges
To help you quickly identify automated replies, the interface uses clear labels and status indicators on each relevant message. These badges only show to logged-in users, never to visitors.
HubSpot AI agent message label
Every message drafted or sent by the AI agent is tagged in the thread. This label lets you instantly distinguish between human and automated responses, which is critical for quality control and auditing.
The label also supports internal training and coaching: your team can see exactly when the agent stepped in and how it handled the inquiry.
On hold for review badge
When authentication fails or when additional approval is required, the AI response does not send immediately. Instead, you will see an on hold for review badge on the message.
This badge means that the AI has generated a draft, but it is waiting for a human user to confirm, edit, or cancel the reply before it is delivered to the customer.
How to review AI agent drafts in HubSpot
AI responses that need approval appear as drafts inside your conversation. From this screen, you can verify content, adjust the tone, or generate an entirely new answer.
- Open the relevant conversation in your inbox.
- Locate the message marked as coming from the AI agent.
- Check the on hold for review badge if present.
- Use the toolbar actions to manage the draft before sending.
During review, your customer sees no change until you approve or send an updated reply.
HubSpot options for managing generated responses
When you select a held AI message, several actions become available so you can fine-tune the content. These controls keep your team in charge while still leveraging automation for speed.
Preview the full HubSpot AI response
You can expand the message to preview the entire response in context. This allows you to verify:
- Accuracy of the information
- Clarity of the explanation
- Compliance with your internal guidelines
- Alignment with your preferred voice and tone
If the draft is almost ready, you can move on to light editing in the reply editor.
Edit the AI-generated message in HubSpot
To customize the response before sending, click into the reply editor. The draft content appears as an editable message where you can:
- Correct facts or data points
- Adjust formatting for readability
- Personalize the greeting or closing
- Add internal references or next steps
After editing, you send the message as you would any normal reply. The customer receives the final version you approve, not the initial AI draft.
Regenerate the HubSpot AI response
If the initial draft is not usable, you can request a new version from the AI agent. When you regenerate, the system uses the same conversation context to compose a different reply.
This is useful when:
- The tone feels off-brand.
- The answer is incomplete or too vague.
- The structure is not appropriate for the question.
After regeneration, treat the new message like any other draft: review, edit, or send once it meets your standards.
Sending approved AI responses in HubSpot
Once you are satisfied with the AI-generated reply, you can send it directly from the reply editor. The platform then delivers the message to your customer just like a human-composed response.
For users with higher volumes of inquiries, this hybrid workflow helps you maintain speed while safeguarding accuracy and brand consistency.
Tips for safe AI use in HubSpot conversations
To get the most out of your AI agent while minimizing risk, consider the following practices:
- Always review sensitive or high-impact answers before sending.
- Use regeneration when a response seems unclear or incomplete.
- Maintain clear internal guidelines for tone, style, and escalation.
- Periodically audit AI-labelled messages to refine your processes.
Accessing the official HubSpot AI review documentation
For full, system-level details, including evolving capabilities and interface screenshots, you can reference the official help documentation. The platform is updated regularly, so documentation gives you the latest nuances and requirements.

Improving your HubSpot support workflows
Combining AI review controls with strong process design can significantly reduce handling time while maintaining quality. Beyond the built-in tools, you may want to:
- Define which ticket types are ideal for AI handling.
- Set internal SLAs for human review of AI drafts.
- Establish escalation rules when AI responses are not sufficient.
- Train your team on reading labels and using regeneration effectively.
