During the early SEO era, companies tried to game search engines with keyword stuffing and manipulative tactics \u2014 and eventually, search engines adapted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same pattern will likely emerge with large language models and AI discovery. Companies will try to manipulate visibility inside AI systems, and frontier model providers will continuously adapt to prevent abuse.

Historically, that required a huge amount of engineering effort \u2014 regular expressions, scraping logic, traversal systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then suddenly, a lot of those problems became inexpensive LLM calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What changed wasn\u2019t the value of the work.

That made it easier to plug into the broader HubSpot ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest challenge was technical. Clearbit primarily used Ruby, Go, and JavaScript, while HubSpot runs heavily on Java and TypeScript.

In retrospect, I wish I had been more curious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That experience taught me to stay open-minded while also maintaining healthy skepticism.

A year ago, everyone thought vector databases were the answer.

Do you see it as transformational or simply infrastructure plumbing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rebecca Yang:<\/strong> It\u2019s both. But plumbing matters. HTTP was plumbing. Roman aqueducts were plumbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What matters is standardization. Model Context Protocol gives agents structured access to tools, actions, and context. Internally, it has dramatically accelerated how our teams build products \u2014 agents can now reason across systems, logs, services, APIs, and developer environments far more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The speed improvement is very real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:27px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Some Enterprise AI Rollouts Fail<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:27px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Many companies are struggling to show ROI from AI investments.

We measure developer productivity improvements. We run dedicated training, office hours, and rollout programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the biggest factor is executive conviction.
