Salesforce Einstein Ultimate Guide 2020 – AI for Everybody!

Businesses understand the importance of Artificial Intelligence-driven predictive experiences for staying competitive in the current landscape. Heaps of data are generated every day, and with the tools and techniques available to drive value out of them, no one can really afford to miss out on the action.

In its bid to remain the number 1 CRM, Salesforce caught on early that it also had to become the smartest. Several partnerships, acquisitions, and releases later, Salesforce has built its AI portfolio into a formidable force under its Einstein brand.

With this in mind, we’ll be taking a look at what Salesforce Einstein is all about and the different ways it’s diffused across the Salesforce ecosystem as well as other fine details so you may get a better idea of how you can leverage it for maximum effect.

Let’s begin!

What is Salesforce Einstein?

As you might have guessed, Salesforce Einstein is a set of advanced AI capabilities that help you make smart use of your data and automate processes to better anticipate customer needs and deliver personalized experiences. Salesforce calls it the most comprehensive AI for CRM.

However, what really sets it apart is how it makes AI accessible to a much wider user base. Compared to most other solutions, there’s relatively very little you need to do or need to know to get started and be smarter, and more predictive about your customers. 

Various Einstein functions and features are available as part of the Salesforce Einstein Platform and across the company’s core cloud products. Let’s go over these categorically:

Salesforce Einstein Platform – Develop Smart Apps for Salesforce and Beyond

Salesforce Einstein Platform

With the Salesforce Einstein Platform services, admins and developers can build robust AI-augmented apps, across every department. The best part is Einstein does all the heavy lifting for you; most of the time there’s little to no coding involved, and all you need to do is point-and-click. Let’s go over the different ways you can put AI to work using the Einstein Platform.

Einstein Discovery

With Einstein Discovery, any Salesforce Admin or Developer can make Salesforce apps intelligent by embedding context prediction and a prescription within them. Einstein Discovery analyzes tons of data in minutes to help users find meaningful patterns and smart insights, where and when they need them the most.

Equipped with explanations, recommendations, and predictions based on all of your data sources (within Salesforce and outside), you can act on these instantly within any Salesforce app to engage customers better, boost productivity, and be more proactive. 

Additionally, presentations based on your AI-fueled findings are automatically generated, helping you communicate them within your organization visually and thus, more effectively.

Einstein Prediction Builder

Einstein Prediction Builder makes it extremely easy to generate custom predictions against any object in Salesforce. You simply need to point and click to create a predictive field, and Prediction Builder uses machine learning and historical data to do the rest. These fields can be embedded in any Salesforce page.

You can predict everything from payment delays to subscription renewals and more. The ability to anticipate the likely scenario helps you better prepare for it and tweak your strategies accordingly. Naturally, the more data you have, the more accurate your predictions will be.

Next Best Action

Einstein Next Best Action is basically a rules-based recommendation engine with an interface that lets you take actions against the recommendations it produces. It’s not actually AI by itself as it requires you to configure workflows. However, you can easily customize it and power it with an AI of your choice to make the right recommendations to your employees or customers at the right time.

Moreover, Einstein NBA also tracks and learns from the responses to its recommendations, allowing it to get smarter and make better recommendations over time.

Einstein Language

Einstein Language analyzes unstructured text and leverages Deep Learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to predict its underlying intent and sentiment, allowing you to communicate more effectively and adopt the best course of action.

It can skim through, categorize, and draw meaningful insights from multiple channels and all forms of text, including social media comments, customer support emails, forms, and notes, etc. With the right messages in front of the right person at the right time, you can understand and engage customers as well as leads like never before.

Einstein Bots

Einstein Bots make use of NLP to help you step up your customer service game. They not only perfectly augment the capabilities of your service agents but also make it possible to offer round-the-clock support. They are ideal for handling routine requests and free up your agents to contend with more complex issues.

The Einstein Bot Builder provides a highly intuitive interface for setting up bots according to your unique business needs with ease. Once created and tested, your bot can be deployed across all your support channels, including your company’s website and mobile app. Over time and with training, your bots will get better and more adept at understanding the context behind specific phrases as well as customer intent.

Einstein Vision

Using Salesforce Einstein Vision, you can easily add Computer Vision capabilities to your apps, so you’re able to automatically categorize and identify objects within images. You can create apps that let you take photos to keep track of inventory or ones you can use to look up products online. The possibilities are practically endless!

To get started, you simply need to provide labeled image data, and Einstein builds the most suitable deep learning models for you. After creating and training your model, you can then test it against unlabelled data to see how it fares. Once you’re satisfied, you can integrate your predictions into iOS and Android apps to derive value from unstructured image data.

Einstein Voice

Voice puts Einstein’s speech-to-text capabilities through their paces and lets you create apps that leverage the power of voice to help you get things done quicker, with less effort. Conversations are readily transcribed into unstructured text data using NLP and voice recognition, which is then processed to complete various requests using AI.

For instance, you can talk to your phone, PC, or smart speaker to create notes within Salesforce. Einstein can then put that text into the context of your business and use AI to identify action items and update the correct fields. You can even use Einstein Voice to hear a daily briefing of all your KPIs and dashboards and present voice-driven analytics during meetings.

Companies can also build customer-facing voice assistants that are connected to their Salesforce data. Customers can then interact with them, ask questions, and make requests using just their voice.

Now let’s take a look at some of the coolest features Einstein brings to various core Salesforce clouds. While you’ll find some of these capabilities bundled with existing cloud licenses and editions, others come at a premium (READ MORE: Salesforce Einstein Editions and Pricing).
