If you’ve been around HubSpot long enough, you know one thing... whenever Dharmesh Shah (HubSpot’s co founder and CTO) launches something new or shares a perspective, it’s worth paying attention. Recently, he introduced MetaPrompt (a tool designed to help people craft better AI prompts.)
You’ve probably noticed HubSpot quietly weaving AI into the platform...
All of this relies on well... prompts! The words you feed the system shape the quality of what you get back.
Here’s the thing, AI isn’t just about automating tasks. it’s about amplifying creativity and execution. But AI only works as well as the instructions you give it.
Think of it like this: HubSpot gives you the car but the prompt is the GPS. A vague “take me somewhere nice” might get you to a park but a clear “take me to Battery Park in Manhattan via the West Side Highway” gets you exactly where you want.
Poor prompt = generic blog draft.
Great prompt = a HubSpot ready article that speaks to your audience, matches your tone, and is 80% done before you even touch it.
So what happens when HubSpot users pair their workflows with better prompts?
Instead of “write a blog about email marketing,” imagine asking...
“Write a 700 word blog post for B2B SaaS leaders on how to use segmented HubSpot workflows to improve email deliverability (keep it concise, conversational, and add two examples)”
The difference in output quality is night and day.
Building a nurture campaign? Instead of a vague “write a follow‑up email,” try...
Drop the draft into HubSpot’s email editor, add personalization tokens, and you’ve got on‑brand copy fast.
Outcome: A consistent flow of nurture emails without hours of manual drafting.
Starting a new blog draft in CMS Hub? Prompt smarter with...
Paste the AI’s ideas into HubSpot’s CMS and refine with built‑in SEO tools.
Outcome: Search‑optimized posts pre‑structured for quick publishing.
Today, we just automate tasks. Tomorrow, prompts could help AI build entire workflow logic in plain English...
“Create a workflow that enrolls any MQL who downloads my ebook, assigns them to sales if they open 2 emails, and creates a task if they don’t respond within 3 days.”
HubSpot’s personalization tokens are powerful but AI + prompts can go beyond firstname swaps...
“Draft three variations of this follow up email tailored to a CMO at a SaaS company, a director at a manufacturing brand, and a startup founder (all within HubSpot’s email editor.)”
Imagine: “Summarize this month’s CRM data as if I were a CRO prepping for a board meeting. Focus on revenue trends, lead quality, and churn.”
That’s where prompts intersect directly with reporting.
When reviewing campaign metric...
You can copy the summary into HubSpot reporting notes or share with your team.
Outcome: Clear insights ready for your next marketing meeting.
For webinar attendees who haven’t booked demos...
Load the drafts into HubSpot Sequences, personalize, and send.
Outcome: Follow‑ups that feel relevant, not robotic, while saving your sales team valuable time.
MetaPrompt isn’t just a side project. It’s a signal of where HubSpot (and marketing in general) is heading: prompt literacy will be as important as SEO literacy was a decade ago.
HubSpot users who master prompts wil...
And as HubSpot builds even more AI features, the users who know how to “talk to AI” will be the ones miles ahead.
We’re standing at the start of a new chapter for HubSpot. Ten years ago, inbound marketing was the big “aha.” Five years ago, automation was. Today? It just might be prompts.
So if you log into HubSpot tomorrow and find AI quietly offering to draft, analyze, or automate something for you remember, the magic will depend less on the AI itself, and more on the words you give it to work with.
Or as Dharmesh Shah might say...
Great prompts lead to great outcomes.
You can try Metaprompt here.
Take one upcoming HubSpot task (an email, blog, report, or sequence) and test it with a metaprompt. See how much difference this tool makes. Let me know if this was helpful!
