Double Your Money with This Firm’s AI Agents
 |
| By Michael A. Robinson |
Mention “AI agents” and watch a shiver shoot down some folks’ spines.
It’s understandable. For many, that phrase conjures images straight out of “The Matrix” …
The science-fiction movie features an evil Agent Smith who sets out to capture Neo, the main hero tasked with saving the human race from AI bots.
It’s a great movie. Watching the famous lobby scene on my home theater setup is still an incredible experience.
But at the end of the day, that’s Hollywood. It’s not real. And it’s part of the stereotype that AI and software-based bots are out to cause harm.
What if these autonomous AI agents could actually make your life easier?
For example, what if they could deliver custom content that trims hours off your research time and offers highly targeted results?
It’s happening. In fact, it’s part of a fast-growing sector.
And today, I want to introduce you to a leader in this space whose success could help you double your money in just two years.
The Market for AI Agents
Some investors might scoff at a market valued at less than $4 billion. But not us. This is a fast-growing, unstoppable trend.
I’m referring to AI agents, a market that Grand View Research projects will surpass $50 billion by 2030.
AI agents are software programs that interact with their respective environments.
They collect data, perform tasks and grow smarter. They may sound fancy. But odds are, you’ve interacted with an AI agent in the past.
They’re used to do things like:
- Answer customer questions.
- Resolve issues.
- Automate processes.
- Turn on various systems.
- Recommend routes to destinations.
- Provide personalized recommendations.
Simply put, AI agents are ubiquitous, which is why the projections for their market seem so plausible.
As it stands, we’re in the early innings of this market, which is part of the larger global AI buildout that will add trillions of dollars to the world’s economies.
But let’s start to home in on our specific opportunity.
To understand this opportunity, it may help to imagine a business model that’s based on a series of business hubs — marketing, sales, service, etc.
With AI behind it all, these hubs can work seamlessly together. Of course, that requires the right software. And one company specializes in developing this type of software.
A Versatile Leader
Let me introduce you to HubSpot (HUBS), a developer of software products intended for marketing, sales and customer service.
Founded in 2006, this company’s software enhances tasks like customer relationship management, social media marketing, content management, lead generation, web analytics, search engine optimization and customer support.
HubSpot’s software is diverse and versatile. It has integration features with platforms like DocuSign, Salesforce and NetSuite.
And there are third-party services such as templates and extensions. HubSpot also offers consulting services and an online resource academy for learning inbound marketing tactics.
The company promotes its inbound marketing concepts through its own marketing. As a result, it’s been called “a prolific creator of content,” drafting everything from blogs to social media posts to webinars to white papers.
In 2010, HubSpot created a series of free online tools, including one that assessed and scored a website’s performance.
A few years later, it launched HubSpot Academy, an online training platform that provides digital marketing programs and free certifications.
Of course, AI plays a big role with HubSpot. In 2023, the company launched HubSpot AI, an AI-powered service for marketing, sales and service departments.
A Hub for Everyone
Today, HubSpot offers free and premium plans for its various “hubs” — for example:
Marketing Hub — This software automates tasks and unifies customer insights. Customers can generate leads and collect contacts, as well as send out marketing content to engage with potential users at the right place and time. AI assistance offers personalized messaging and actionable insights, too.
Operations Hub — As companies scale, systems break. Each team adopts its own process, data becomes siloed and efficiency tanks. This is where HubSpot’s software can help. Its Operations Hub provides a unified toolset that connects apps, cleans and curates customer data and automates business processes. Once-manual tasks are automated to reduce time, errors and burnout.
Sales Hub — Hiring more sales reps, demanding more activities and adopting more technology no longer guarantees productivity these days. That’s why HubSpot’s Sales Hub enables teams to focus on quality, not quantity.
HubSpot has a half-dozen of these “hubs.” And they are all showing growth.
Good Enough for Google
I’d never recommend a stock based on the potential of a buyout. That’s speculative investing, at best.
But rumors of Google’s attempts to acquire HubSpot last year demonstrate how good the value proposition is with this company.
And while the rumors died down and no deal ever happened, the buzz was enough to send HubSpot’s stock down, just enough to enable investors to get in at an attractive discount.
Over the past three years, HubSpot has grown per-share profits by 77%. Even cutting that in half to be conservative, we could still see earnings double in just about two years.
And when earnings grow, stock prices usually do, too.
The Matrix may have given us an unfair impression of the power — or at least intent — of AI agents. But not all of them are out to cause harm …
Including HubSpot’s agents, which provide tools companies need to run their marketing and sales departments efficiently and productively.
Add it all up and you can see why I say this firm’s AI agents can target your portfolio in a good way by helping you build wealth.
Best,

P.S. As my colleague Chris Graebe noted yesterday, 2025 should be a big year for IPOs, mergers and acquisitions.
While you shouldn’t ever invest with the hope of a buyout, it’s not a bad idea to invest in the partners of giants … especially AI giants.
HubSpot could become either a solid partner to Google or a buyout target. But what about the AI leader’s partners? Better yet, what about Nvidia’s “Silent Partners”?
