Salesforce Einstein is an artificial intelligence technology that has been developed for the Salesforce Customer success platform. Einstein is the AI-powered Salesforce product for businesses that want to incorporate intelligent tools into their workflows. It offers predictive scoring, forecasting, and recommendations at the right moment.

It was launched in 2016, during the company’s Dreamforce conference. Machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision are the foundation features of Einstein. Salesforce has also introduced Einstein capabilities for App Cloud users and Developers to bring AI features like predictive or suggested actions, into new or existing apps.

On Dreamforce 2017, Salesforce announced two new capabilities to make it easier for the admins. Those two capabilities were Einstein prediction builder and Einstein bots.

Einstein prediction builder allows customers to create custom AI models around predictions for any kind of field that is presently held in Salesforce simply by identifying the field they want to predict and selecting the data they want to use with an easy click interface. With the help of Einstein Bots, customers can create chatbots powered by historical data to respond to common inquiries and deploy them through Service Cloud.

These are a few of the AI-rich features which have been announced by Salesforce.
