HubSpot AI, branded as Breeze, is a suite of AI tools built directly into HubSpot’s CRM, covering content creation, lead scoring, data enrichment, workflow automation, and customer support across all HubSpot Hubs.

BrandCrowd is one of the few types of AI tools I sometimes feel a little uneasy about testing. I don’t ever want to be the person who actually advises a company to choose an AI-powered design tool over working with a real professional. Fortunately, I don’t think many people use platforms like this assuming they’re going to use the assets they get forever.

BrandCrowd is something you pick because you need to launch a business fast, and you can’t just download the visuals you need from Pinterest. You want something at least semi-unique, mostly professional, and good enough to keep you going until you can afford an expert.

You also want the platform to make the initial “startup” process feel as simple and painless as possible. From that perspective, BrandCrowd is a pretty great system. You get more than 380,000 logo templates. Over 100,000 design assets across social, print, presentations, QR codes, even digital business cards. Plus, you get AI built-in, which is pretty normal these days, but still helpful.
