HubSpot Invests in Bardeen to Help Teams Enhance Customer Connection Through Automation

Plenty of business operations are critical to a company’s performance, but none are as essential as creating meaningful connections with customers. Unfortunately, fostering strong relationships with customers often takes a backseat as teams find themselves engrossed in tedious, monotonous work that diverts their attention away from addressing their customers’ needs. According to Asana’s 2023 The Anatomy of Work Global Index report, employees spend 62% of the workday on “repetitive, mundane tasks” – that’s valuable time not spent engaging with customers. 

With so much time focused on manual tasks, it’s clear that to prioritize customer connection, teams need to simplify their processes. That’s where artificial intelligence (AI) comes into play. 

AI has unlocked a new way to work for people across many industries and one of its greatest advantages lies in automation. AI-powered automation provides teams with the opportunity to work smarter, more efficiently, and dedicate more time to directly supporting their customers.

That’s why HubSpot Ventures has made a strategic investment in Bardeen, an AI workflow automation platform that empowers organizations to streamline their processes across all of their apps, saving time and enabling teams to focus on what matters most – their customers.
