Skillsoft and Salesforce Partner to Revolutionize Customer Support Training with AI
Skillsoft (NYSE: SKIL), a global leader in corporate learning, today announced a strategic partnership with Salesforce to integrate its AI-powered coaching platform, Skillsoft CAISY™, directly into the Salesforce ecosystem. This collaboration will empower customer support teams to develop critical communication, empathy, and problem-solving skills—all within their existing Salesforce workflows.
The Challenge: Bridging the Customer Service Skills Gap
Today’s customers demand exceptional service—80% say experience is as important as the product itself (Salesforce). Yet, 70% of service leaders report persistent challenges due to underprepared teams, while 59% cite upskilling as a top priority. Traditional training methods often fail to prepare agents for real-world, high-pressure interactions.
The Solution: AI-Powered Learning in the Flow of Work
Skillsoft CAISY™ brings immersive, real-time coaching to Salesforce users through two key integrations:
- CAISY™ for Agentforce
- Analyzes live customer conversations using customizable rubrics
- Delivers instant AI-driven feedback and performance scoring
- Helps managers identify skill gaps and track team development
- CAISY™ for AppExchange
- Provides interactive simulations (e.g., handling irate customers, processing refunds)
- Offers personalized coaching tailored to organizational pain points
- Embeds practice directly into agents’ daily tools
“Exceptional service isn’t accidental—it’s built through consistent practice and feedback,” said Apratim Purakayastha, GM of Talent Development at Skillsoft. “By bringing CAISY™ into Salesforce, we’re turning support teams into competitive differentiators.”
Why It Matters
- Faster upskilling: Agents learn by doing, with AI refining skills in real time.
- Data-driven insights: Managers gain visibility into team strengths and weaknesses.
- Seamless integration: No context-switching—training happens where work does.
“This partnership unlocks the next evolution of AI-human collaboration in customer service,” added Tyler Carlson, SVP of AppExchange at Salesforce.
