0:00.0	All right, let's take a second to talk about our sponsor today, HubSpot.
0:04.0	They have two new AI tools that are pretty cool I want to tell you about.
0:06.5	So the first one is Content Assistant.
0:09.1	So we know that Content's key for driving revenue because you write content, you get traffic,
0:14.7	the traffic turns into leads, the leads turn into revenue.
0:17.0	But not everybody's great at doing content.
0:19.3	And so the content assistant is basically an AI based tool that will help you come up

0:57.8	And it'll just pull it up.
0:59.2	Or you can ask it to do things like, hey, draft a email follow up to this prospect.
1:03.8	So ChatSpot has got your back.
1:05.6	Think of it like an intelligent assistant.
