What is ChatSpot?
First, let’s unpack what ChatSpot is. As the name suggests, the tool combines technology from HubSpot’s CRM with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, DALL-E 2 and Google Docs, enabling users to ask questions and provide instructions for tasks in a chat interface.
As explained in a video by HubSpot’s founder and CTO Dharmesh Shah, ChatSpot works just like ChatGPT by using generative AI to process natural language queries (i.e. prompts) and then combining the power of the aforementioned tools to give you the outcome you are looking for. If you’re interested in the finer details, we’d recommend watching Dharmesh’s video.
For now, let’s jump in to some of the time-saving, efficiency-improving and user-experience-enhancing tasks that ChatSpot is capable of doing, such as:
- Prospecting research
- Adding contacts to the CRM
- Creating custom reports without the report builder
- Summarising HubSpot data
- Drafting personalised marketing messages and emails
How is ChatSpot changing CRM interaction?
ChatSpot is making waves in the world of HubSpot CRM by transforming the way in which users interact with the platform. A key component of ChatSpot's capabilities is its ChatUX feature, which is designed to enhance the user experience and streamline the process of completing tasks within a CRM system.
ChatUX is based on a declarative ("describe and done") approach rather than an imperative ("point and click") approach, making it easy for users to achieve their objectives with ease. This means that users can quickly and easily complete tasks , such as lead report building and content creation, without needing to spend time searching for the relevant features or commands. As a result, users are able to work more efficiently and effectively, saving time and improving their overall productivity.
By providing a more intuitive and natural way of interacting with software, ChatUX is helping to bridge the gap between humans and machines. Instead of needing to learn complex commands or memorise complicated workflows, users can simply chat with ChatSpot and let it handle the heavy lifting.
The benefits of ChatSpot are not limited to building reports and content creation, however. ChatSpot can also help with other tasks within HubSpot, such as data entry and customer support. By providing a seamless and intuitive way of interacting with software, ChatSpot is helping to improve the user experience and drive greater productivity and efficiency in the world of CRM.
What are some of ChatSpot's top features?

Integration with ChatGPT, HubSpot, DALL-E, and Google Docs
ChatSpot integrates with 4 platforms (currently ChatGPT, HubSpot, DALL-E and Google Docs), enabling users to retrieve and share data between these platforms. This feature allows users to work more efficiently and save time, as they can use ChatSpot AI to complete tasks on multiple platforms without leaving the application.
