Salesforce launched Einstein Service Agent, a fully autonomous AI agent that claims to be more intelligent and dynamic than traditional chatbots. It can analyse the full context of a message and then autonomously determine the appropriate actions to take. Through generative AI, it can create conversational responses customised to a company's brand voice, tone, and guidelines.
"Salesforce is delivering a future where human and digital workers join forces to improve the customer experience," said Service Cloud general manager Kishan Chetan. "Einstein Service Agent, our first fully autonomous AI agent, will not just complete service jobs on its own; it will augment human workers and completely transform how service teams operate, making them far more efficient and productive. We are reimagining customer service for the AI era."
Key features
Its key features include human-like reasoning and responses through an advanced reasoning engine that claims to interpret and process information to provide answers and solve customers' problems.
It also has 24/7 swift resolutions driven by trusted data to instantly provide personalised recommendations using generative AI, grounded in a wide range of data.
Einstein Service Agent is also secured by the Einstein Trust Layer, which can mask personally identifiable information (PII) and define clear parameters and guardrails.
It also claims a quick setup that does not require lengthy structured dialogues, cross-channel and multimodal innovation, and seamless handoffs to human agents for off-topic inquiries.
Einstein Service Agents is currently in pilot and will generally be available later this year.
