Salesforce Announces New Einstein Copilot Actions And Its General Availability

Salesforce has taken a notch higher in its conversational AI offerings on April 25, 2024. By launching New Einstein Copilot’s unconventional actions, it aims to improve seller’s productivity. By making Copilot available for general use, Salesforce is currently focused at scaling the adoption of generative AI.

What New Updates Have Einstein Copilot Unrolled?

Along with making it generally available for users across countries, some new features and enhancements have been made to Einstein Copilot. Let’s see what’s new:

Close Plans: To speed up the deal closure process, managers and sales reps can use it to create personalized plans for every potential lead. This plan includes step by step process and tactics based on historical and current account data. Along with this, it recommends dates of action.

Predictive Guidance: Using Einstein Copilot, the sales team can determine the probability of a successful deal closure. It helps them identify potential issues in their sales deals that might cause hindrances to deal closure. This helps the managers understand why their sales rep could not hit the quota.

Call Explorer: This feature allows sales reps to look up the previous call transcripts, recorded in Einstein Conversation Insights. They can ask questions from AI, like “What were the customer’s sentiments on this call?” and get an answer that is relevant and specific to that particular call.

It helps in eliminating any misunderstandings and incorrect interpretations, helping sales reps understand their customers better.

Additionally, it uses a method called Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), which allows businesses to use their own data, be it structured or unstructured. This helps to make AI more reliable and useful.

Follow-Up Mails: With this feature, sales representatives can now create customized follow-up emails based on prior calls with customers, helping them to move forward with deals.

Everywhere Accessibility: Einstein Copilot is now available everywhere in Salesforce Sales Cloud. It facilitates information lookups about potential clients, extracts the status of deals promptly, and drafts messages to clients using Sales Cloud Everywhere.

Some of The Advanced Enhancements That This Update Has Brought, Include:

Apart from the new features, this update has enhanced the existing capabilities of the platform, improving the conversational AI experience.

Copilot Analytics: With new advancements, administrators can see how EInstein Copilot is being utilized through a pre-configured analytics dashboard. It helps them boost the adoption of Einstein Copilot by using various key metrics, like the actions utilized, the average number of interactions per user, and its success rate. This helps businesses understand and measure the return on investment (ROI) they get by using AI.

Recommended Actions: This helps business teams finish their tasks quickly. Einstein Copilot suggests various actions that can be performed with a single click, depending on the current page of the user. If a user is on an opportunity page, it would suggest action like ‘summarize opportunity’, if they are on a contact page, it would suggest them ‘draft an email’ action. So, instead of typing in a request to perform an action, now the user can just click on these suggested actions.

Einstein Copilot Over Mobile Interface: Einstein Copilot is now available on Salesforce mobile application, allowing the users to be productive even when they are on the go. Its ‘voice-to-text’ feature allows users to speak, instead of typing, making it easier to interact with data and workflows.

Adam Evans, SVP Product, Salesforce AI Platform quoted about this update: “With this release, every organization can now deploy a trusted AI assistant grounded in their unique business data and metadata that can assist users with a multitude of actions, automating complex processes and improving productivity.”

What’s Ahead?

Believing in innovation, Salesforce is investing in a variety of persona and industry specific actions, to continuously enhance the capabilities and expand the range of tasks that Einstein Copilot can perform.

In addition to the previously released health and service actions, that included AI generated responses based on customer’s knowledge base, and adding up the current release around sales and banking actions, Salesforce is developing new marketing actions to speed up the campaign creation. Along with this, it is bringing innovation in commerce actions to assist shoppers.

Not just this, Salesforce is working on converting MuleSoft APIs into custom actions that allow Einstein Copilot to perform tasks across multiple systems.
