Einstein Personalization and Copilots

Salesforce launched a suite of new generative AI products at Connections in Chicago, including new Einstein Copilots for marketers and merchants, and Einstein Personalization. Einstein Personalization and Copilots To gain insights into these products and Salesforce’s evolving architecture, Bobby Jania, CMO of Marketing Cloud was interviewed. Salesforce’s Evolving Architecture Salesforce has a knack for introducing new names for its platforms and products, sometimes causing confusion about whether something is entirely new or simply rebranded. Reporters sought clarification on the Einstein 1 platform and its relationship to Salesforce Data Cloud. “Data Cloud is built on the Einstein 1 platform,” Jania explained. “Einstein 1 encompasses the entire Salesforce platform, including products like Sales Cloud and Service Cloud, continuing the original multi-tenant cloud concept.” Data Cloud, developed natively on Einstein 1, was the first product built on Hyperforce, Salesforce’s new cloud infrastructure. “From the start, Data Cloud has been able to connect to and read anything within Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, etc. Additionally, it can now handle both structured and unstructured data.” This marks significant progress from a few years ago when Salesforce’s platform comprised various acquisitions (like ExactTarget) that didn’t seamlessly integrate. Previously, data had to be moved between products, often resulting in duplicates. Now, Data Cloud serves as the central repository, with applications like Tableau, Commerce Cloud, Service Cloud, and Marketing Cloud all accessing the same operational customer profile without duplicating data. Salesforce customers can also import their own datasets into Data Cloud. “We wanted a federated data model,” Jania said. “If you’re using Snowflake, for example, we virtually sit on your data lake, providing value by forming comprehensive operational customer profiles.” Understanding Einstein Copilot “Copilot means having an assistant within the tool you’re using, contextually aware of your tasks and assisting you at every step,” Jania said. For marketers, this could start with a campaign brief created with Copilot’s help, identifying an audience, and developing content. “Einstein Studio is exciting because customers can create actions for Copilot that we hadn’t even envisioned.” Contrary to previous reports, there is only one Copilot, Einstein Copilot, with various use cases like marketing, merchants, and shoppers. “We use these names for clarity, but there’s just one Copilot. You can build your own use cases in addition to the ones we provide.” Marketers will need time to adapt to Copilot. “Adoption takes time,” Jania acknowledged. “This Connections event offers extensive hands-on training to help people use Data Cloud and these tools, beyond just demonstrations.” What’s New with Einstein Personalization Einstein Personalization is a real-time decision engine designed to choose the next best action or offer for customers. “What’s new is that it now runs natively on Data Cloud,” Jania explained. While many decision engines require a separate dataset, Einstein Personalization evaluates a customer holistically and recommends actions directly within Service Cloud, Sales Cloud, or Marketing Cloud. Ensuring Trust Connections presentations emphasized that while public LLMs like ChatGPT can be applied to customer data, none of this data is retained by the LLMs. This isn’t just a matter of agreements; it involves the Einstein Trust Layer. “All data passing through an LLM runs through our gateway. Personally identifiable information, such as credit card numbers or email addresses, is stripped out. The LLMs do not store the output; Salesforce retains it for auditing. Any output that returns through our gateway is logged, checked for toxicity, and only then is PII reinserted into the response. These measures ensure data safety beyond mere handshakes,” Jania said.

Kelman outlined four waves of AI: Predictive (e.g., lead scoring), Generative, Autonomous, and AI General Intelligence. “We are starting to enter the third wave,” he stated, where AI will begin to take actions independently. Copilots are a step in that direction, although for now, a human remains in control. The Path to the AI Enterprise Kelman described five steps towards creating an AI enterprise: Regarding the last point, new Slack AI tools were demonstrated for summarizing interactions and importing actionable data from Data Cloud into Slack. The strategy for Einstein Copilots aims to empower business users in marketing, commerce, and other functions to execute complex tasks, such as creating personalized customer journeys, using natural language prompts.

Unified Knowledge to Salesforce Service Agents

Salesforce Introduces Unified Knowledge to Enhance Service Agent Intelligence Salesforce has unveiled Unified Knowledge, a new solution designed to enrich service agents’ ability to resolve customer inquiries. By aggregating information from third-party sources and integrating it into Salesforce, Unified Knowledge complements the data already available in Salesforce’s Data Cloud, creating a more comprehensive knowledge base for service agents. Within Salesforce Service Cloud, Einstein for Service leverages AI to provide service agents with real-time information when addressing customer queries. Previously, this information was drawn from Data Cloud. Now, with Unified Knowledge, data from sources such as SharePoint, Confluence, Google Drive, and brand websites is incorporated, further enhancing the breadth of information available to agents. Expanding Beyond Service Cloud While Service Cloud is the primary use case for Unified Knowledge, the solution is also designed to integrate with other Salesforce platforms, including Sales Cloud, Field Service, Health Cloud, and Financial Services Cloud. Developed in collaboration with Zoomin Software, Unified Knowledge allows for greater cross-platform data accessibility and more efficient workflows across various service touchpoints. Why It Matters While the exact reasoning behind Salesforce’s decision to create a separate data channel for Unified Knowledge, rather than consolidating everything into Data Cloud, remains somewhat unclear, the broader availability of data to service agents could enhance service quality and efficiency. At its core, Unified Knowledge uses generative AI to provide dynamic, context-aware responses to agent and customer queries. Key features of the solution include: With these advancements, Unified Knowledge brings generative AI capabilities into the hands of service agents and workers, allowing for quicker, more accurate decision-making and enhanced customer interactions.

Unified Knowledge for Service Agents

Salesforce has introduced a new intelligence source for service agents called Unified Knowledge. This solution aggregates information from third-party sources and integrates it into Salesforce, enhancing the customer data available in Data Cloud. Unified Knowledge Overview Enhanced Service with Unified Knowledge Unified Knowledge aggregates data from sources like SharePoint, Confluence, Google Drive, and brand websites, making it accessible within Salesforce Service Cloud. While Service Cloud has primarily utilized data from Data Cloud via Einstein for Service to assist service agents, Unified Knowledge expands this by including additional third-party information. Broader Integration Across Salesforce Although Service Cloud is a primary focus, Unified Knowledge will also integrate with Salesforce Field Service, Sales Cloud, Health Cloud, and Financial Services Cloud. This solution was developed in partnership with Zoomin Software. Technical Approach and Future Plans The initial version of Unified Knowledge does not utilize Data Cloud. Instead, it stores third-party knowledge in the KnowledgeArticle object on Core and uses Zoomin for integration. Salesforce plans to eventually transition this solution to Data Cloud for both storage and integration. This transition involves multiple dependencies and significant refactoring of the Knowledge product. For now, the current approach allows for quicker market entry. Once moved to Data Cloud, customers will need Data Cloud credits to use Unified Knowledge. Response by email from Salesforce: “The beta version of Unified Knowledge does not leverage Data Cloud. The third-party Knowledge is stored on Core in the KnowledgeArticle object, and Salesforce uses ZoomIn to integrate with third-party systems. Salesforce’s long-term vision is to move to Data Cloud — initially for the storage of third-party knowledge, and eventually for the connector/integration piece as well. This involves multiple dependencies on Data Cloud however and significant refactoring of the Knowledge product, so in order to get this solution to market more quickly, this initial version is built on Core. Once we move Unified Knowledge to Data Cloud, customers will have to purchase Data Cloud credits to use the product.” Benefits and Features of Unified Knowledge Unified Knowledge enhances the information available to service agents, potentially leading to better service experiences. Its generative AI capabilities include: By expanding the data available to service agents, Unified Knowledge aims to improve service quality and efficiency. Like Related Posts Who is Salesforce?
