Using HubSpot AI Assistants and Agents in Breeze Studio
HubSpot provides AI assistants and agents in Breeze Studio so you can design, test, and manage automated customer experiences without heavy coding. This guide walks you step by step through configuring assistants, creating agents, and managing their behavior inside the canvas.
All instructions below are based on the official documentation for Breeze Studio assistants and agents. You will learn how to add them to flows, edit their settings, and monitor their performance as you iterate on your AI strategy.
Overview of HubSpot Assistants in Breeze Studio
In Breeze Studio, an assistant represents the core conversational logic backing an agent. You configure the assistant once and then reference it from different nodes and applications.
At a high level, you will:
- Set up the assistant with instructions and tools.
- Create one or more agents that use the assistant.
- Add agent nodes to your Breeze Studio journeys.
- Test interactions and refine behavior over time.
Accessing Breeze Studio in HubSpot
To work with assistants and agents, first open Breeze Studio from your HubSpot account. You will typically find it in the workspace where you build customer-facing experiences such as chat or support flows.
- Sign in to your HubSpot portal.
- Navigate to the tools menu where Breeze Studio is listed.
- Open the Studio canvas for the experience you want to modify.
Once the canvas loads, you can add, configure, or remove AI components inside the visual flow.
How HubSpot Assistants Work in the Canvas
The assistant is the intelligence layer used by one or more agents. In Breeze Studio you usually link an agent node to a specific assistant so that all user messages are processed with the correct configuration.
From the assistant configuration screen you will typically find options to:
- Define system-level instructions and role behavior.
- Connect data sources, tools, and actions.
- Control safety, tone, and allowed operations.
Changes to an assistant will impact any agent that depends on it, so it is a good idea to maintain clear naming and documentation inside your HubSpot workspace.
Creating a New HubSpot Assistant
Use the following generic steps as a template when adding a new assistant. Actual labels in your HubSpot UI may vary slightly as the product evolves, but the overall flow remains similar.
- Open the assistants area: From Breeze Studio or the associated settings section, locate the assistants tab.
- Create a new assistant: Click the button to add an assistant. Provide a clear name and description that reflect its purpose.
- Add core instructions: In the configuration panel, define what the assistant should do, what channels it will support, and the general style of its responses.
- Enable tools or data sources: Connect CRM data, knowledge bases, or other tools the assistant can use for answering questions and triggering actions.
- Save and review: Save the configuration and double-check that all required settings are enabled for your specific journey.
After this, your new assistant becomes available when configuring agents in the same HubSpot environment.
Configuring HubSpot Agents in Breeze Studio
An agent in Breeze Studio is what end users interact with. It uses an assistant under the hood but also includes channel-specific and flow-specific settings.
Steps to Add an Agent Node
- Open your canvas: In Breeze Studio, open the specific flow you want to extend.
- Add an agent node: From the components panel, drag the agent node onto the canvas.
- Select an assistant: In the node configuration sidebar, choose which assistant the agent should rely on.
- Configure triggers and routing: Define when the agent should start listening, how messages are routed, and which paths follow successful interactions or failures.
- Save the node: Confirm the settings and connect the node with upstream and downstream steps on the canvas.
Multiple agent nodes can use the same assistant if they share underlying logic but differ in context or channel inside HubSpot.
Agent Behavior and Response Settings
Within each agent node, you can fine-tune how it responds to users.
- Define the starting message or greeting.
- Control fallbacks when the agent cannot answer.
- Specify what data from the session is passed to the assistant.
- Set timeouts and escalation paths to human operators.
These adjustments help ensure the agent operates in a predictable and compliant way across your HubSpot experiences.
Testing HubSpot Assistants and Agents
Before publishing a new journey, it is essential to test your AI components thoroughly.
Using the Canvas Testing Tools
- Start a test session: In Breeze Studio, launch the built-in test mode for the current flow.
- Send sample messages: Interact with the agent as a typical visitor would, trying both common and edge-case questions.
- Review responses: Verify that the assistant uses the right language, data, and logic as defined in your HubSpot configuration.
- Adjust and retest: Make configuration changes to the assistant or agent node, then run another test session.
Repeat this process until you are satisfied with the overall experience and failover mechanisms.
Monitoring Production Interactions
After you publish, monitor how real users interact with your agents.
- Review transcripts and logs for recurring problems.
- Identify gaps in knowledge or tooling.
- Refine assistant instructions or training data accordingly.
Ongoing optimization is crucial to keep your HubSpot AI journeys accurate, safe, and aligned with business goals.
Best Practices for HubSpot AI Implementations
When rolling out AI assistants and agents, follow these practical guidelines.
- Start small: Begin with a limited use case and expand as you gain confidence.
- Keep naming clear: Use descriptive assistant and agent names to prevent confusion in larger HubSpot accounts.
- Document flows: Maintain simple diagrams and notes explaining how each agent uses its assistant.
- Plan escalation paths: Always provide a way to reach a human when the AI cannot resolve an issue.
- Align with compliance: Ensure that data usage and retention follow your privacy and security policies.
