BOSTON--(<a href="https://www.businesswire.com/">BUSINESS WIRE</a>)--More than 250,000 businesses rely on HubSpot as their single source of truth for customer data across marketing, sales, and service. This complete view of the customer journey gives our customers an edge, especially in an era where AI is only as powerful as the data behind it.
Today, we're excited to announce that HubSpot is the first CRM to launch a deep research connector with ChatGPT.
With over 75% of HubSpot customers already using ChatGPT&#x2A;, we're making it easy for them to apply powerful, doctorate-level research and analysis to their own customer data and context–and to put those business insights to work. This is game-changing for go-to-market teams. Within ChatGPT, for example:
<ul>
<li>Marketers can ask "find my highest-converting cohorts from recent contacts and create a tailored nurture sequence to boost engagement," then use the insights to launch an automated workflow in HubSpot.</li>
<li>Sales teams can find new opportunities by asking, "segment my target companies by annual revenue, industry, and technology stack. Based on that, identify the top opportunities for enterprise expansion," then bring them back to HubSpot for prospecting.</li>
<li>Customer success teams can say, "identify inactive companies with growth potential and generate targeted plays to re-engage and revive pipeline," then take those actions in HubSpot to drive retention.</li>
<li>Support teams can say, "analyze seasonal patterns in ticket volume by category to forecast support team staffing needs for the upcoming quarter," and activate Breeze Customer Agent in HubSpot to handle spikes in support tickets.</li>
</ul>

If You Invested $1000 In This Stock 10 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

BofA Securities analyst Brad Sills disclosed its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/software" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">software spending survey</a> on Tuesday.
Since his last survey in December, Sills&#8217; IT professionals&#8217; survey suggested that software spending growth intentions have come down a bit for the second half of 2025 and 2026. Software spending is expected to grow +9.9% for 2025, down 100 basis points from his December survey, and +10.8% for 2026, down 40 basis points. He said this aligns with management and channel commentary that changing macro policies are muddling the demand environment.
However, Sills&#8217; survey still suggests an improving backdrop in 2026, which is backed by channel feedback that pipelines for new software projects remain healthy.
The analyst noted that Data Analytics regained the top spot as a spending priority, trading places with Cloud Communications and Videoconferencing, which slipped to second place. Security held the third position, he said. Sills said other categories with notably higher spending expectations include observability and financials/ERP.
Sills noted that the lower-scoring categories were front-office applications such as CRM Sales, Marketing, and Support. He suggested that this could be due to firms evaluating AI priorities for front-office application projects.
For Analytics, Security, and Public Cloud, Sills noted the positive data supports his thesis for Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Snowflake Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>), and Datadog Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DDOG#NASDAQ">DDOG</a>), which are well positioned in these categories.
The analyst said Infrastructure and Back Office were the top software categories for AI investment (across Infrastructure, Back Office, Front Office, and Desktop Applications).
Back Office saw the largest increase since his year-end fiscal 2024 survey, he said. After LLMs, Workday Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WDAY#NASDAQ">WDAY</a>) was the most selected, Sills noted.
The analyst noted that after LLMs, Salesforce Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) registered the highest number of front-office vendors in which respondents plan to invest in AI offerings.
Front office apps scored lower for the second consecutive survey, Sills noted.
The lower result reflects that firms remain in the discovery phase, as pricing models for agentic offerings such as Salesforce&#8217;s Agentforce and HubSpot Inc&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUBS#NYSE">HUBS</a>) Breeze AI agents are evolving, per the analyst.
Sills noted that Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) AWS, Microsoft, and Alphabet Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google were the most frequently selected vendors for AI in infrastructure.
The analyst said Adobe Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) remains the market leader in AI investments in desktop applications.
Hiring expectations are down for 2025, again, Sills noted, and recession expectations are fairly high. DOGE is impacting spending plans more so than tariffs, leading to a lower weighted average spending as per the survey.

Nearly a third of consumers prefer brands to send post-purchase follow-up messages via social media, <a href="https://www.emarketer.com/content/social-messaging-marketing-2025">according to eMarketer</a>. As US retail social commerce sales jumped 26% in 2024, one company has positioned itself at the center of the convergence between social messaging, AI automation, and commerce.
Having just closed its $140 million Series B funding round, Manychat is tuning into a market that&#8217;s reshaping how brands engage with customers. With 82% of organizations <a href="https://www.the-future-of-commerce.com/2025/01/09/b2b-sales-2025/">planning</a> to integrate AI agents within three years and 60% of Gen Z interested in AI-assisted shopping, the timing works well for a platform that processes billions of automated interactions across social media platforms.
The shift toward conversational commerce is becoming fundamental to how younger consumers expect to interact with brands. As Instagram&#8217;s CEO Adam Mosseri stated, &#8220;send rates&#8221; – how often content is shared via DMs – are now more important than likes, comments, or watch time for expanding organic reach. This algorithmic shift makes DM automation tools increasingly valuable, especially as 86% of US marketers are using influencer marketing in 2025. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Psychological Roots of an AI Visionary</h2>
Before starting a company that now processes billions of automated interactions, Manychat founder Mike Yan studied psychology. Yan was fascinated by human relationships and that background turned out to be prescient when using AI to have conversations in his business. In 2015 Yan automated Telegram chats, which led way to the idea that later became Manychat — a chatbot platform that enables creators and businesses to automate conversations over social and messaging apps.
The company took off when Facebook Messager opened its APIs in 2016, providing access to a billion users. At the time, Yan and his co-founder were focused on messenger marketing at an enormous scale, well-positioned as the wave of conversational commerce began reshaping nearly all of retail.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Evolution Toward Agentic AI</h2>
The company serves clients ranging from Nike and the NBA to The New York Times, plus over a million smaller businesses across 170 countries. But Yan&#8217;s bold vision extends beyond current capabilities toward what he calls &#8220;agentic AI.&#8221;
&#8220;We believe there is a lot of opportunity for app layer players like Manychat, who may not work on their foundational models but have a deep understanding and insight into specific customer segments and use cases,&#8221; Yan says. &#8220;They can productize the existing foundational models and create an end-to-end user experience that elevates the value of these models.&#8221;
This approach reflects the AI landscape&#8217;s evolution from narrow applications through generative AI and reasoning models to autonomous, multi-step task completion. Manychat AI, launched last year, aims to enhance social platform interactions by providing more personalized, interactive chat experiences that drive both conversions and customer satisfaction.
&#8220;Our goal with Manychat is to build an agent for social interactions that assists creators and businesses in building great relationships at scale without losing authenticity,&#8221; Yan notes. &#8220;Balancing automation with manual contact and the human touch is a complex challenge, both technically and from an experience standpoint. While there is much work to be done, the opportunity is tremendous.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Competitive Landscape And Market Position</h2>
There are a number of public companies operating in marketing automation spaces. Salesforce (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) offers Service Cloud with AI-powered chatbots; HubSpot (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUBS#NYSE">HUBS</a>) has marketing automation that includes some social messaging features; Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) includes conversational AI as part of Azure and Dynamics 365; Adobe (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) offers marketing automation capabilities as part of Experience Cloud.
But none focus on automating social media DMs specifically at the scale and specialization opportunities that Manychat has developed. This positioning will become more valuable as markets for automation continue to mature, especially as specialization increases competitive advantage.&nbsp;
Manychat&#8217;s community-building emphasizes this. The yearly Instagram Summit that sold more than 15,000 tickets with speakers such as Trevor Noah and executives at Meta illustrates the company&#8217;s role in shaping the industry&#8217;s dialogue around social commerce.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Road Ahead</h2>
While Yan is not disclosing any specific IPO plans, the company&#8217;s conservative financial approach indicates that they are focused on sustainable, profitable growth over rapid expansion. The market conditions favor this approach: 74% of companies are already experiencing ROI in at least one generative AI use case, and about half of B2B marketers <a href="https://contentmarketinginstitute.com/b2b-research/b2b-content-marketing-trends-research">believe</a> the use of AI reduces routine tasks and increases overall workflow efficiency.
The challenge ahead is what Yan calls maintaining authenticity while being able to automate at scale — a significant technical and experiential problem that will require more nuanced solutions. As enterprise AI investments grow and social commerce continues to experience explosive growth, Manychat&#8217;s success at solving this challenge may define whether brand-consumer connections of the future will be set through intelligent automation, human authenticity, or a combination of the two.
For investors tracking the trifecta of AI, social media, and commerce, Manychat offers a compelling case study in how niche AI applications can create value in rapidly evolving markets, driven by Yan&#8217;s powerful vision. With data pointing to continued acceleration in social messaging, AI adoption, and conversational commerce, the $140 million funding round positions Manychat to harness several high-growth trends at once.

Turns out, a lot of people feel anxious on Sundays. According to a 2023 <a href="https://www.ciphr.com/infographics/causes-of-stress-at-work-2023-survey-results">survey</a> by HR software provider Ciphr, nearly half of senior managers in the UK report experiencing the &#8216;Sunday scaries&#8217; multiple times a year.&nbsp;
On the other hand, HubSpot (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUBS#NYSE">HUBS</a>) CEO Yamini Rangan says she doesn't get the Sunday scaries. In fact, she skips right over them by turning Sundays into a full workday.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Different Kind of Sunday</h2>
"I'm not scared of Sundays,&#8221; Rangan said on the recent episode of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IvTK4syq-4">&#8220;Grit&#8221; podcast</a>. &#8220;I enjoy it because it's my time. I get to decide what I'm learning, what I'm doing, what I'm thinking, what I'm writing. It is completely my schedule.&#8221;

Her version of a day off? Saturday. She completely disconnects from work after Friday night and doesn't pick it back up until Sunday morning. No emails, no messages, not even from the board. That one-day break is non-negotiable.
Then comes Sunday, which for her is anything but restful. She turns it into a dedicated workday: reading, thinking, planning, and writing. It&#8217;s her time to prepare for the week ahead with focus and intention, without interruptions. "It is completely my schedule," she said. By the time most people are still winding down their weekend, she's already scheduled a full set of Monday morning emails, often timed to hit inboxes at 5 a.m.
This rhythm, she says, keeps her balanced. It&#8217;s her way of eliminating the dread many feel about Mondays—by turning Sunday into a day of action instead of anxiety.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Work Stress Isn't Rare, But Her Solution Is</h2>
Rangan's approach may sound intense, but she's not alone in working this way. A recent survey by HR software firm Ciphr shows that stress and anxiety about the workweek are widespread among senior managers. Nearly half – 47% – of the 265 UK senior managers polled said they felt the Sunday scaries multiple times over the past year. About 13% felt them multiple times a month, and 5% said they felt them every week.
Only 8% of respondents said they had never experienced the Sunday scaries.
The top three causes of stress among senior leaders were high inflation and rising prices (34%), the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45384608/u-s-households-now-need-70-more-income-to-buy-a-home-double-whammy-of-skyrocketing-prices-and-rates">cost-of-living crisis</a> (33%) and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38397890/how-i-escaped-the-corporate-rat-race-and-saved-myself-from-burnout-using-these-10-easy-stress-buster">burnout</a> (27%).
Workload and to-do lists (24%), economic downturn (23%) and unfinished work tasks (21%) are also some of the reasons.&nbsp;
Rangan, who leads a company with more than 9,000 employees and billions in revenue, says the key to avoiding burnout is to find a rhythm that works and stick to it.
&#8220;Peak performance requires peak rest,&#8221; she said. So she made a rule: &#8220;I&#8217;ve said to people that I will not respond on Saturday.&#8221; Even when board members send emails, Rangan says she holds firm to her Saturday boundary and doesn't reply.&nbsp;

When Rangan took over as CEO in 2021, it wasn't under normal circumstances. HubSpot co-founder and then-CEO Brian Halligan was injured in a snowmobile accident and suddenly out of commission. Rangan, who joined as chief customer officer in 2020, stepped in.

&#8220;He said, &#8216;Remember I told you if I ever got hit by a bus, you&#8217;d have to run it? I need you to run it.'&#8221;
Rangan accepted the interim CEO role, thinking Halligan would eventually return. He didn't. Six months later, the board made her appointment permanent.
Since then, she's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45304277/hubspot-beats-estimates-raises-guidance-shares-sink-the-details">guided</a> the customer relationship management and marketing automation platform through pandemic growth, a sudden market slowdown, and the rise of AI. Each year, she says, requires reinvention.
"Every year I&#8217;ve been CEO, I&#8217;ve had to reinvent what I&#8217;m doing and my mental constructs," she said. &#8220;Every year, there&#8217;s something completely different we&#8217;re trying to drive.&#8221;
Rangan's no stranger to pressure. She grew up in a 350-square-foot home in a small Indian town. She came to the U.S. with $300 and worked her way up through engineering and sales. Even now, she says, she often feels &#8220;behind.&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;ve embraced that discomfort," she said. "If I&#8217;m not learning, I&#8217;m behind.&#8221;
