Salesforce, the global leader in CRM technology, has recently announced the intention to launch Einstein GPT, the world’s first generative AI CRM technology. With Einstein GPT, Salesforce aims to transform every customer experience with generative AI. the technology will infuse Salesforce’s proprietary AI models with generative AI technology from an ecosystem of partners and real-time data from the Salesforce Data Cloud. 

Einstein GPT will enable customers to connect their data to OpenAI’s advanced AI models or choose their external model and use natural-language prompts directly within their Salesforce CRM to generate content that continuously adapts to changing customer information and needs in real time. For example, Einstein GPT can generate personalised emails for salespeople to send to customers, generate specific responses for customer service to answer customer questions quickly, generate targeted content for marketers to increase campaign response rates, and auto-generate code for developers. 

Mar Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, said, “the world is experiencing one of the most profound technological shifts with the rise of real-time technologies and generative AI. This comes at a pivotal moment as every company is focussed on connecting with their customers in more intelligent, automated, and personalised ways.”

Salesforce is also combining OpenAI’s enterprise-grade ChatGPT technology with Salesforce’s private AI models to deliver relevant and trusted AI-generated content. Salesforce has also announced a Generative AI Fund from Salesforce Ventures, the company’s global investment arm. The new $250 million fund will invest in high-potential start-ups, bolster the startup ecosystem, and spark the development of responsible, trusted, and generative AI. 

Einstein GPT is the next generation of Einstein, Salesforce’s AI technology that currently delivers more than 200 billion AI-powered predictions per day across the Customer 360 platform. By combining proprietary Einstein AI models with ChatGPT or other leading large language models, customers can use natural language prompts on CRM data to trigger powerful, time-saving automation and create personalised, AI-generated content.
