At World Tour London: AI Day, Salesforce, the global leader in CRM, introduced generative AI capabilities for Sales Cloud and Service Cloud to transform how sellers and service teams work and interact with customers. Sales GPT will embed generative AI in the flow of work, auto-generating customer emails, call summaries, account research, and more. Service GPT will auto-generate service replies, automatically summarize customer interactions into easy-to-access knowledge articles for service teams, and better prepare field service agents before they arrive at service locations.
Significance: Generative AI has the potential to transform how sales and service professionals in every industry do their jobs. In new research, more than 60% of sales and service professionals believe generative AI will help them better serve customers. Yet, 63% of sales professionals and 59% of service professionals lack the skills to effectively and safely use generative AI.
Salesforce AI solution: Einstein GPT*, which powers Sales GPT and Service GPT, supercharges customer experiences and company productivity with a trusted, open ecosystem-based generative AI grounded in proprietary real-time data. The Einstein GPT Trust Layer helps customers meet their enterprise data security and compliance demands by preventing large-language models (LLMs) from retaining sensitive customer data to help maintain data governance controls.
What’s new: Salesforce is bringing trusted generative AI across every application directly in the flow of work for Sales and Service, as well as Marketing, Commerce, Slack, Tableau, Flow, and Apex.
