When a buyer asks AI for a solution like yours, does your business come up?

0:04.5

Most companies have no idea.

0:06.2

And by the time they find out, they've already lost the deal to someone who did.

0:09.9

HubSpot AEO helps you show up in those moments, what the right answers buyers are looking

0:14.7

for.

0:15.6

Before the first click, before the first form fill.

0:18.6

That's the moment HubSpot AEO is built for. Check out Hubspot.com, the agentic customer platform for growing businesses. Stripe just gave AI agents credit cards. And I think this is a really big deal, Neil, because, and then combined with Cloudflare, where Cloudflare allows you to just buy products using agents, I think, think about it this way, Neil, if you wanted

0:37.7

to spin up Cloudflare, you have your Stripe agent, okay, be able to purchase Cloudflare domains,

0:45.4

for example, or other Cloudflare workers, you can spin up different pages that you want,

0:49.8

landing pages that you want to test rapidly. You can use like a design.md file. And anything you wanted to test, you could have these agents just spinning them up,

1:40.8

budget cap, and an agent runs your entire page strategy okay

1:45.0

number two AI procurement agents for e-commerce they supply supplier prices

1:49.4

auto order when costs hit your threshold sends you a month a morning summary of

1:54.0

what was bought and why and then you have AI travel agents that actually work so

1:57.3

they search compare book and pay with your budget rules no more toggling between six tabs to say $40 on the flight. And then finally you have AI bookkeeping agents.

2:04.9

They will handle recurring operational payments. Your business already makes every month,
