MY MIND HAS JUST BEEN BOGGLED. I just tried the early release of OpenAI's new DeepResearch feature (rolling out later today to the $200/month Pro users). I've been working in the CRM software industry for 30+ years. It's not just that I've had court-side seats to the game,

tl;dr: Woo hoo! HubSpot has some MAJOR product updates we're spotlighting today. Trust me, THIS IS BIG. HubSpot was built with the spirit of reinvention. We started as a simple set of applications for marketing. Over our ~18 years, we've evolved into a full CRM and customer
