Copilots in the Workplace

The Rise of AI-Powered Copilots in the Workplace: The New Age of Office Helpers As more businesses embrace AI tools, the tech world is buzzing with a new kind of office assistant: the AI-powered copilot. These digital sidekicks are here to revolutionize how we interact with information—think of them as the high-tech, caffeine-free version of your office buddy who always knows where the stapler is. Copilots in the Workplace are here. AI-powered copilots use large language models (LLMs) to help users wade through vast amounts of data, often with the grace of a caffeinated librarian. By facilitating conversations instead of requiring precise queries, these tools let you ask for help without needing to channel your inner tech wizard. Hugo Sarrazin, Chief Product and Technology Officer at UKG, points out that many of these AI copilots are essentially “search functions dressed up in a snazzy new outfit.” UKG’s own digital assistant, UKG Bryte, made its debut last November—just in time to help you find out why your vacation request hasn’t been approved yet. These AI assistants offer an enhanced chatbot experience by understanding a wide range of queries through generative AI. Imagine asking your chatbot, “Hey, what’s the deadline for open enrollment?” and getting a response that doesn’t involve translating your question into a techie dialect. “Generative AI isn’t stuck on keywords and rigid queries. It’s like a magic eight ball with a PhD,” Sarrazin explains. Traditional systems often force users through pre-set menus and workflows—kind of like a bureaucratic maze—but copilots let you skip the detours and get straight to the point. With AI copilots, you can ask in plain language and receive useful answers without needing to consult a human. Picture this: an HR chatbot that knows exactly what the per diem is for your conference, or which days you’re free for the next company holiday—like having a personal assistant who never needs a coffee break. Salesforce employees, for instance, are getting a taste of this futuristic help with their Einstein copilot. Since the introduction of Einstein, Salesforce has seen an uptick in productivity and a drop in mundane tasks. Nathalie Scardino, Salesforce’s Chief People Officer, says the company has been working to seamlessly integrate AI tools into daily workflows—because nothing says “we care” like a virtual assistant who understands your workload better than you do. After Salesforce acquired Slack in 2020, the Einstein-powered Slack app launched in February. This tool helps with scheduling, document summarization, and general inquiries, effectively turning your to-do list into a “done” list. Research showed that desk workers spend 41% of their time on tasks that aren’t exactly rocket science, and Einstein is here to tackle those chores. Scardino and Salesforce’s CIO, Juan Perez, have been busy ensuring that AI tools fit perfectly into the company’s workflow. Einstein is also making waves in HR by integrating with Basecamp, Salesforce’s hub for employee info. This integration has answered over 88,000 queries and cut resolution times from two days to just 30 minutes—making it the office hero you didn’t know you needed. “The big win here is bringing all those disparate systems together and making information accessible without needing a PhD,” Scardino quips. “No more hopping between six systems just to find out about your healthcare benefits.” In this brave new world of AI-assisted work, copilots like Einstein are proving that getting the right information quickly is no longer a sci-fi dream. They’re here to make our office lives smoother, smarter, and a little less dependent on those old-fashioned human helpers. Like1 Related Posts Who is Salesforce? Who is Salesforce?

Everyone Is Implementing AI

AI is undoubtedly a generational change in software, with its full trajectory still unpredictable. There is a perceived divide between the “Haves” and “Have Nots.” Companies like OpenAI, Microsoft, and Databricks are seen as understanding AI’s potential, with Nvidia providing the necessary hardware support. Many hot start-ups are Gen AI native, continuing to attract unicorn valuations. Meanwhile, several SaaS leaders appear to be lagging behind. We say, Everyone Is Implementing AI. Marc Benioff stated in their latest quarterly call: “Now, we’re working with thousands of customers to power generative AI use cases with our Einstein Copilot, our prompt builder, our Einstein Studio, all of which went live in the first quarter. And we’ve closed hundreds of copilot deals since this incredible technology has gone GA. And in just the last few months, we’re seeing Einstein Copilot develop higher levels of capability. We are absolutely delighted and cannot be more excited about the success that we’re seeing with our customers with this great new capability.” Everyone Is Implementing AI However, it remains unclear whether simply adding AI to classic B2B SaaS products accelerates growth. Despite significant investments in AI, companies like Salesforce, Asana, and ZoomInfo are growing at less than 10% annually. The main point is that while “AI Washing” might impress some investors, AI must significantly accelerate revenue growth to achieve more than market parity. It is essential to see how AI can add real value and integrate it effectively. But AI alone may not be a growth accelerant. Everyone Is Implementing AI Recent data from Emergence Capital shows that 60% of VC-backed SaaS companies have already released GenAI features, with another 24% planning to do so. Achieving “AI Parity” is crucial, but simply adding GenAI features may not be disruptive in the B2B space. Companies must go further to stand out, despite the challenges.

Einstein Service Agent is Coming

Salesforce is entering the AI agent arena with a new service built on its Einstein AI platform. Introducing the Einstein Service Agent, a generative AI-powered self-service tool designed for end customers. This agent provides a conversational AI interface to answer questions and resolve various issues. Similar to the employee-facing Einstein Copilot used internally within organizations, the Einstein Service Agent can take action on behalf of users, such as processing product returns or issuing refunds. It can handle both simple and complex multi-step interactions, leveraging approved company workflows already established in Salesforce. Initially, Einstein Service Agent will be deployed for customer service scenarios, with plans to expand to other Salesforce clouds in the future. What sets Einstein Service Agents apart from other AI-driven workflows is their seamless integration with Salesforce’s existing customer data and workflows. “Einstein Service Agent is a generative AI-powered, self-service conversational experience built on our Einstein trust layer and platform,” Clara Shih, CEO of Salesforce AI, told VentureBeat. “Everything is grounded in our trust layer, as well as all the customer data and official business workflows that companies have been adding into Salesforce for the last 25 years.” Distinguishing AI Agent from AI Copilot Over the past year, Salesforce has detailed various aspects of its generative AI efforts, including the development of the Einstein Copilot, which became generally available at the end of April. The Einstein Copilot enables a wide range of conversational AI experiences for Salesforce users, focusing on direct users of the Salesforce platform. “Einstein Copilot is employee-facing, for salespeople, customer service reps, marketers, and knowledge workers,” Shih explained. “Einstein Service Agent is for our customers’ customers, for their self-service.” The concept of a conversational AI bot answering basic customer questions isn’t new, but Shih emphasized that Einstein Service Agent is different. It benefits from all the data and generative AI work Salesforce has done in recent years. This agent approach is not just about answering simple questions but also about delivering knowledge-based responses and taking action. With a copilot, multiple AI engines and responses can be chained together. The AI agent approach also chains AI models together. For Shih, the difference is a matter of semantics. “It’s a spectrum toward more and more autonomy,” Shih said. Driving AI Agent Approach with Customer Workflows As an example, Shih mentioned that Salesforce is working with a major apparel company as a pilot customer for Einstein Service Agent. If a customer places an online order and receives the wrong item, they could call the retailer during business hours for assistance from a human agent, who might be using the Einstein Copilot. If the customer reaches out when human agents aren’t available or chooses a self-service route, Einstein Service Agent can step in. The customer will be able to ask about the issue and, if enabled in the workflow, get a resolution. The workflow that understands who the customer is and how to handle the issue is already part of the Salesforce Service Cloud. Shih explained that Einstein Studio is where all administrative and configuration work for Einstein AI, including Service Agents, takes place, utilizing existing Salesforce data. The Einstein Service Agent provides a new layer for customers to interact with existing logic to solve issues. “Everything seemingly that the company has invested in over the last 25 years has come to light in the last 18 months, allowing customers to securely take advantage of generative AI in a trusted way,” Shih said.

Generative AI for Tableau

Tableau’s first generative AI assistant is now generally available. Generative AI for Tableau brings data prep to the masses. Earlier this month, Tableau launched its second platform update of 2024, announcing that its first two GenAI assistants would be available by the end of July, with a third set for release in August. The first of these, Einstein Copilot for Tableau Prep, became generally available on July 10. Tableau initially unveiled its plans to develop generative AI capabilities in May 2023 with the introduction of Tableau Pulse and Tableau GPT. Pulse, an insight generator that monitors data for metric changes and uses natural language to alert users, became generally available in February. Tableau GPT, now renamed Einstein Copilot for Tableau, moved into beta testing in April. Following Einstein Copilot for Tableau Prep, Einstein Copilot for Tableau Catalog is expected to be generally available before the end of July. Einstein Copilot for Tableau Web Authoring is set to follow by the end of August. With these launches, Tableau joins other data management and analytics vendors like AWS, Domo, Microsoft, and MicroStrategy, which have already made generative AI assistants generally available. Other companies, such as Qlik, DBT Labs, and Alteryx, have announced similar plans but have not yet moved their products out of preview. Tableau’s generative AI capabilities are comparable to those of its competitors, according to Doug Henschen, an analyst at Constellation Research. In some areas, such as data cataloging, Tableau’s offerings are even more advanced. “Tableau is going GA later than some of its competitors. But capabilities are pretty much in line with or more extensive than what you’re seeing from others,” Henschen said. In addition to the generative AI assistants, Tableau 2024.2 includes features such as embedding Pulse in applications. Based in Seattle and a subsidiary of Salesforce, Tableau has long been a prominent analytics vendor. Its first 2024 platform update highlighted the launch of Pulse, while the final 2023 update introduced new embedded analytics capabilities. Generative AI assistants are proliferating due to their potential to enable non-technical workers to work with data and increase efficiency for data experts. Historically, the complexity of analytics platforms, requiring coding and data literacy, has limited their widespread adoption. Studies indicate that only about one-quarter of employees regularly work with data. Vendors have attempted to overcome this barrier by introducing natural language processing (NLP) and low-code/no-code features. However, NLP features have been limited by small vocabularies requiring specific business phrasing, while low-code/no-code features only support basic tasks. Generative AI has the potential to change this dynamic. Large language models like ChatGPT and Google Gemini offer extensive vocabularies and can interpret user intent, enabling true natural language interactions. This makes data exploration and analysis accessible to non-technical users and reduces coding requirements for data experts. In response to advancements in generative AI, many data management and analytics vendors, including Tableau, have made it a focal point of their product development. Tech giants like AWS, Google, and Microsoft, as well as specialized vendors, have heavily invested in generative AI. Einstein Copilot for Tableau Prep, now generally available, allows users to describe calculations in natural language, which the tool interprets to create formulas for calculated fields in Tableau Prep. Previously, this required expertise in objects, fields, functions, and limitations. Einstein Copilot for Tableau Catalog, set for release later this month, will enable users to add descriptions for data sources, workbooks, and tables with one click. In August, Einstein Copilot for Tableau Web Authoring will allow users to explore data in natural language directly from Tableau Cloud Web Authoring, producing visualizations, formulating calculations, and suggesting follow-up questions. Tableau’s generative AI assistants are designed to enhance efficiency and productivity for both experts and generalists. The assistants streamline complex data modeling and predictive analysis, automate routine data prep tasks, and provide user-friendly interfaces for data visualization and analysis. “Whether for an expert or someone just getting started, the goal of Einstein Copilot is to boost efficiency and productivity,” said Mike Leone, an analyst at TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group. The planned generative AI assistants for different parts of Tableau’s platform offer unique value in various stages of the data and AI lifecycle, according to Leone. Doug Henschen noted that the generative AI assistants for Tableau Web Authoring and Tableau Prep are similar to those being introduced by other vendors. However, the addition of a generative AI assistant for data cataloging represents a unique differentiation for Tableau. “Einstein Copilot for Tableau Catalog is unique to Tableau among analytics and BI vendors,” Henschen said. “But it’s similar to GenAI implementations being done by a few data catalog vendors.” Beyond the generative AI assistants, Tableau’s latest update includes: Among these non-Copilot capabilities, making Pulse embeddable is particularly significant. Extending generative AI capabilities to work applications will make them more effective. “Embedding Pulse insights within day-to-day applications promises to open up new possibilities for making insights actionable for business users,” Henschen said. Multi-fact relationships are also noteworthy, enabling users to relate datasets with shared dimensions and informing applications that require large amounts of high-quality data. “Multi-fact relationships are a fascinating area where Tableau is really just getting started,” Leone said. “Providing ways to improve accuracy, insights, and context goes a long way in building trust in GenAI and reducing hallucinations.” While Tableau has launched its first generative AI assistant and will soon release more, the vendor has not yet disclosed pricing for the Copilots and related features. The generative AI assistants are available through a bundle named Tableau+, a premium Tableau Cloud offering introduced in June. Beyond the generative AI assistants, Tableau+ includes advanced management capabilities, simplified data governance, data discovery features, and integration with Salesforce Data Cloud. Generative AI is compute-intensive and costly, so it’s not surprising that Tableau customers will have to pay extra for these capabilities. Some vendors are offering generative AI capabilities for free to attract new users, but Henschen believes costs will eventually be incurred. “Customers will want to understand the cost implications of adding these new capabilities,”

AI Yes Gen AI No

The race in generative AI may conclude sooner than anticipated, despite it barely starting for most. Consider the role of generative AI as a supportive assistant, aiding users across dashboards, messaging platforms, and datasets by summarizing documents, chats, and answering queries in natural language. AI Yes Gen AI No. At PegaWorld, significant attention was drawn to Pega’s Knowledge Buddy, an assistant integrated with LLM, specifically OpenAI on Azure, tailored to organization-specific data. CTO Don Schuerman emphasized the practicality of Pega’s solution: “Knowledge Buddy solves many enterprise problems, but it’s not the only RAG-based product out there. Everyone’s got one.” Indeed, major companies each boast their AI assistants: Adobe with AI Assistant, Salesforce with Einstein Copilot, Microsoft with Copilot, HubSpot with various AI assistants, Oracle’s Digital Assistant, and SAP’s Joule. Possessing an AI assistant is now a necessity, not a differentiator, as it has become standard across competitors. Generative AI tools like text and image generators have garnered public interest due to their accessibility. For instance, tools like Google Gemini enable anyone to create, blurring the lines between creator roles. The prevalence of generative AI across over 14,000 martech products is notable, exemplified by MarTechBot, which leverages AI to answer queries and generate images based on MarTech’s vast archive. While text and image generation capabilities rapidly advance, offering these tools is becoming a norm rather than a novelty. Soon, lacking these capabilities will be akin to a supermarket not selling eggs. Does this signify the end of the AI arms race? While generative AI will continue to evolve, it is becoming ubiquitous as a fundamental requirement. However, it’s crucial to distinguish the generative AI arms race from the broader AI landscape. Non-generative AI, such as predictive analytics and classification AI used in digital asset management systems, plays a critical role. This statistical AI analyzes data at scale to derive insights, recommend products, or guide customers through complex journeys. Pega exemplifies this with its AI-driven decisioning and workflow automation, predicting optimal actions for specific challenges, which is distinct from the generative AI focus seen in competitors like Salesforce, Adobe, and Oracle. Looking forward, while generative AI will permeate everyday applications, the true transformative AI for enterprises might lie in refined predictive AI or fully autonomous AI capable of unsupervised business decision-making. In conclusion, while text and image generation will become commonplace, their revolutionary impact may wane compared to the potential of other AI applications poised to redefine enterprise capabilities.

Consumer Chatbot Technology

The Reality Behind AI Chatbots and the Path to Autonomous AI In the rush to adopt the latest Consumer Chatbot Technology, it’s easy to overlook a fundamental reality: consumer chatbot technology isn’t ready for enterprise use—and it likely never will be. The reason is simple: AI assistants are only as effective as the data that powers them. Most large language models (LLMs) are trained on data from public websites, which lack the specific business and customer data that enterprises need. This means consumer bots can’t adequately assist employees in selling products, marketing merchandise, or improving productivity, as they lack the necessary personalization and business context. To achieve the vision of AI that goes beyond simple chatbots performing basic tasks—like drafting emails, essays, blogs, or graphics—to a more advanced role where AI acts autonomously and addresses business-critical needs, a different approach is needed. This vision involves AI taking action with minimal human intervention, using digital agents to identify and respond to these needs. At Salesforce, we are pursuing a clear path to AI that not only takes action but also automates routine tasks, all while adhering to established business rules, permissions, and context. Instead of relying solely on LLMs, which primarily focus on generating human-like text, future AI assistants will depend on large action models (LAMs) that integrate decision-making and action-taking capabilities. The Journey Toward AI Autonomy Our journey towards this vision began with the Salesforce Data Cloud, a robust data engine built on the Einstein 1 Platform. This platform integrates data from across the enterprise and third-party repositories, enabling companies to activate their data, automate workflows, personalize customer interactions, and develop smarter AI solutions. Recognizing the shift from generative AI to autonomous AI, Salesforce introduced Einstein Copilot, the industry’s first conversational, enterprise-class AI assistant. Integrated across the Salesforce ecosystem, Einstein Copilot utilizes an organization’s data, whether it’s behind a firewall or in an external data lake, to act as a reasoning engine. It interprets user intents, interacts with the most suitable AI model, solves problems, generates relevant content, and provides decision-making support. Expanding the Role of AI in Business Since its launch in February 2024, Salesforce has been expanding Einstein Copilot’s library of actions to meet specific business needs in sales, service, marketing, data analysis, and industries like ecommerce, financial services, healthcare, and education. These “actions” are akin to LEGO blocks—discrete tasks that can be assembled to achieve desired project outcomes. For example, a sales representative might use Einstein Copilot to generate a personalized close plan, gain insights into why a deal may not close, or review whether pricing was discussed in a recent call. Einstein Copilot then orchestrates these tasks, provides recommendations, and compiles everything into a detailed report. The ultimate goal is for AI not only to gather and organize information but also to take proactive action. Imagine a sales representative instructing their digital agent to set up meetings with top prospects in a specific territory. The AI could not only identify suitable contacts but also suggest meeting times, plan travel schedules, draft emails, and even create talking points—all of which it could execute autonomously with the representative’s approval. Tectonic dreams of the day AI is smart enough to interpret our search engine typos and produce the results for what we were actually looking for! The Future of AI Autonomy The possibilities for semi-autonomous or fully autonomous AI are vast. As we continue to develop and refine these technologies, the potential for AI to transform business processes and decision-making becomes increasingly tangible. At Salesforce, they are committed to leading this charge, ensuring that our AI solutions not only meet but exceed the expectations of enterprises worldwide. Salesforce is in a strong position to deliver on all of them because of the volume and breadth of data housed in Data Cloud, the heavy workflow traffic in our Customer 360 CRM, and the fact we’ve delivered an enterprise-class copilot that is rapidly expanding its library of actions. It will not happen overnight. The technology needs to advance, organizations and people have to be able to trust AI and be trained to use it in the right ways, and more work will need to be done to ensure the right balance between human involvement and AI autonomy. But with our continued investment in CRM, data, and trusted AI, we will achieve that vision before too long. Salesforce is in a strong position to deliver on all of them because of the volume and breadth of data housed in Data Cloud, the heavy workflow traffic in our Customer 360 CRM, and the fact we’ve delivered an enterprise-class copilot that is rapidly expanding its library of actions.
