Enable Your CRM With Artificial Intelligence – Salesforce Einstein

Salesforce Einstein

Salesforce Einstein is Salesforce’s AI solution, a Smart CRM Assistant. Salesforce Einstein allows organizations to incorporate Artificial Intelligence into their CRM (new or existing) solution. To understand how Salesforce Einstein can help, it’s important to first understand how AI can help (because it is these features and benefits of AI that are dispensed by Salesforce Einstein). Here’s a real quick and succinct explanation of the benefits of AI:

  • AI analyzes past data to make personalized recommendations and intelligent search results.
  • AI provides automation capabilities that reduce execution time and errors, and increase efficiency.
  • AI can be ‘enabled’, which means organizations can leverage its benefits through existing infrastructure and software (depending on the solution and existing assets).

This is of course an extremely simplified overview of the benefits of AI, but it’s enough. We published an article earlier that will give you a deeper understanding of the benefits of AI, if you’re interested: 3 Areas of AI Your Organization Needs to Tap Into, Today!

AI Smart Assistants

One important use and result of artificial intelligence, is smart assistants. Think Apple’s Siri, Microsoft’s Cortana or Amazon’s Alexa. These smart or virtual assistants provide a multitude of features, and as you interact with them they are able to ‘learn’ and provide personalized answers or solutions. This is made possible through AI. 

Smart assistants don’t need to be voice-enabled personal tools, they can be online or digital bots (like a chatbot) and can be used by agencies for professional uses as well. The underlying benefit is the ability to trigger tasks by learning from historical data.
