In this rollercoaster of innovation, Salesforce is not just upgrading features; it’s unleashing a superhero squad of AI capabilities that will make your data sing, dance, and maybe even crack a joke or two. So, grab your virtual popcorn and let’s take a wild ride through the latest and greatest in the world of Salesforce.
Predictive Power Unleashed with Einstein Studio
Say goodbye to the days of code complexity and hello to a world where creating AI models is as easy as clicking a button. With Einstein Studio leading the way, Salesforce is putting the power of predictive AI into the hands of every user. Numeric measures? Binary outcomes? Opportunity amounts or case satisfaction scores? You name it, and Einstein Studio guides you through the process with a few clicks, making AI-powered predictions as easy as ordering your favorite takeout.
Einstein Studio: Your AI HQ
Imagine a superhero headquarters where all your AI models gather to plan world domination—well, in this case, data domination. Welcome to Einstein Studio, your one-stop-shop for all things AI in Data Cloud. Managing AI models has never been this fun and easy. The Einstein Studio tab is your secret lair where you can create, connect, and sort models with the finesse of a maestro. Sorting models in tables or using the search function feels like arranging your favorite playlist—only, in this case, it’s your AI models stealing the spotlight.
Generative AI Gets a Power Boost with Third-Party LLMs
Hold on to your hats; things are about to get generative! Salesforce is not just stopping at predictive AI; it’s tapping into the external large language models (LLMs) of OpenAI and Azure OpenAI. Einstein Studio now lets you set up these LLMs as foundation models, adding a dose of magic to your generative AI game. Configure Open AI or Azure OpenAI to summarize text or generate chat responses, and voila! Tasks are accelerated, response time is reduced, and operational efficiency reaches new heights.
Hyper-Personalization Takes Center Stage with Databricks Models
It’s time to sprinkle a bit of magic on personalization, and Salesforce does it with flair. Databricks models are joining the party, bringing predictive intelligence and actionable insights to the stage. With Einstein Studio Bring Your Own Model (BYOM), even non-tech wizards (a.k.a. data scientists and admins) can access Customer 360 data in Databricks. Enrich customer profiles, create segments, and customize end-user experiences across touchpoints—it’s like tailoring a suit for your data.
Enriching Batch Data Transforms with AI Awesomeness
Picture this: your AI models, suited up and ready for action in Einstein Studio, now taking center stage in batch data transforms. This is not your average data transformation; it’s a symphony of AI intelligence adding predictive and prescriptive magic to your Data Cloud object. Evaluate predictions across large datasets, assess models before deployment, and then sprinkle some magic dust on your data visualizations in Tableau and CRM Analytics.
Predictions at Your Fingertips with AI Models
Who said predictions are meant for crystal balls? Einstein Studio prediction jobs and Flow Builder actions are here to prove that predictions are just a few clicks away. Activate a model, consume predictions within Salesforce, and suddenly you’re the wizard of business intelligence. Whether you prefer the elegance of prediction jobs or the flowy nature of Flow Builder actions, Salesforce ensures predictions are not just accurate—they’re stylish too.
Near Real-Time Customer Data Retrieval with Data Graphs
Fasten your seatbelts; we’re diving into the fast lane of near real-time customer data retrieval with Data Graphs. Pre-computed customer data, serialized into a JSON blob for rapid retrieval and processing, is like the superhero cape for your data. Grounding prompts to large language models ensures that generative AI responses are not just quick but also superhero-level awesome.
Streamlined Enablement for Data Cloud
Data Cloud is stepping into the limelight with streamlined enablement in Spring ’24. No more waiting in the wings; as soon as it’s licensed, Data Cloud enters enablement mode. Check the progress from the Data Cloud Setup home page and witness the magic unfold. For existing orgs, a simple click of “Get Started” in Data Cloud Setup is the ticket to the data show.
WhatsApp Data Joins the Data Cloud Fiesta
Hold the phone, quite literally! Salesforce is not just about emails and calls; it’s diving into the WhatsApp world. Ingest WhatsApp contact and tracking data from Marketing Cloud into Data Cloud, creating a symphony of personalized interactions with customers. Triggering campaigns based on WhatsApp engagement data? It’s like adding a cherry on top of your data-driven sundae.
Data Cloud Flexes its Muscles with New Features
Flexibility is the name of the game, and Salesforce is making sure Data Cloud is the MVP. New data types, Tableau Catalog integration, advanced data transformations—it’s a buffet of features enhancing compatibility and interoperability. It’s like giving your data a set of superhero tools, making it ready to face any data challenges that come its way.
