HubSpot vs. Salesforce: Who’s Winning the AI Race in CRM?

🎧 Episode Description:

In this episode, we dive deep into the future of CRM through the lens of two giants—HubSpot and Salesforce—and their radically different AI strategies. As artificial intelligence reshapes customer relationship management, we compare Salesforce’s Agentforce, a proprietary AI agent framework, with HubSpot’s open integration with third-party large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 and Claude.

You’ll hear why HubSpot’s open architecture may be the smarter, more scalable path—and how modular, composable AI can give companies a long-term edge in innovation, cost, and flexibility.

Whether you’re a CMO, RevOps leader, startup founder, or SaaS product builder, this episode is packed with insights on:
