Introducing Salesforce Einstein - AI for the Salesforce Ecosystem

What is Salesforce Einstein?

Salesforce Einstein is more than just another tool; it is a comprehensive AI layer embedded throughout the Salesforce platform, designed to make AI accessible to businesses of all sizes. At its core, Salesforce Einstein integrates machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), and computer vision to provide predictive and prescriptive insights across Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Marketing Cloud, Commerce Cloud, and Analytics. Rather than requiring data scientists to build custom models from scratch, Einstein automates the creation, training, and deployment of AI models based on your existing CRM data.

What Makes Einstein Different?

What makes Salesforce Einstein unique is its user‑friendly approach. Business users can leverage features like Einstein Lead Scoring, which evaluates your historical sales data to identify leads most likely to convert, and Einstein Opportunity Insights, which predicts the likelihood of deals closing and recommends next steps.

For marketers, Einstein Engagement Scoring predicts how customers will interact with campaigns, while Send Time Optimization determines the best time to send emails to maximize engagement. Service teams benefit from Einstein Bots (intelligent chatbots that handle common customer inquiries) and Einstein Case Classification, which automatically assigns and prioritizes cases based on historical data.

Einstein is Also a Build Platform

Beyond these built‑in features, Salesforce Einstein includes tools for custom AI development. Einstein Discovery empowers users to uncover hidden patterns and correlations in data without writing code. Prediction Builder lets admins create custom predictive models by selecting objects and fields within Salesforce. Next Best Action combines predictions with business rules to recommend actions that optimize outcomes. These tools democratize AI, enabling non‑technical users to build sophisticated predictive models directly within their CRM.

Einstein’s integration with the entire Salesforce ecosystem means that insights are embedded seamlessly within workflows, driving real‑time decision‑making. The platform currently generates billions of predictions each day. As AI adoption grows, Einstein will continue to evolve, leveraging advances in machine learning and generative AI to deliver more personalized experiences and automate complex tasks. With Salesforce Einstein, AI becomes a standard part of business operations rather than a separate project.
