AI sales agent and service agent: what you need to prepare before switching them on
The customer service agent
HubSpot's Customer Agent learns from your existing HubSpot content and your website pages, then answers on channels such as website chat and email. When it is not confident, it asks a follow-up question or hands the conversation to a person.
- Write down your frequent questions. The 20–30 questions you answer every week — prices, delivery times, opening hours, returns — with the answer you would give. This is most of your work, about two hours.
- Update your website. The agent reads it. Old prices or hours on the site become wrong answers.
- Set the limits. Decide what it must never answer alone: custom quotes, complaints, discounts, anything legal.
- Decide who takes over. Who receives handed-over conversations, and how quickly they reply.
- Test before going live. HubSpot offers 14 days of free access on first setup. Test with real questions from your customers, in their language.
- Review every month. Look at the questions it could not answer and add those answers.
Plan: the Customer Agent needs a HubSpot Professional plan, for example Service Hub Professional, and is charged per resolved conversation (about $0.50).
The sales agent
HubSpot's Prospecting Agent researches contacts, watches for buying signals and drafts personal messages. You can review each draft before it is sent.
- Describe your ideal customer. Industry, size, country, the problem you solve. In marketing this is called a buyer persona.
- Clean your customer data. Duplicates and missing fields lead to wrong suggestions. The agent is only as good as your CRM.
- Agree on tone. Formal or friendly, short or detailed — and approve the drafts yourself at the start.
Plan: the Prospecting Agent is available from HubSpot Starter and is charged per recommended lead (about $1).
