Salesforce Releases its Autonomous AI Agent
Salesforce has released its Einstein Service Agent, a fully autonomous AI agent that can understand and act on service issues. Einstein Service Agent is built on the Einstein 1 Platform and analyzes the context of a customer’s message to determine what actions to take next by using large language models (LLMs). The service agent also uses generative AI to create conversational responses that are tailored to companies and use business data. Key capabilities for Einstein Service Agent include:
- A reasoning engine, which is used to interpret and process information and give human-like responses and reasoning
- Assistance to customers across self-service portals and messaging channels
- Protection via Einstein Trust Layer, a part of the Einstein 1 Platform that masks personally identifiable information (PII) and defines parameters and guardrails, as will as the option to transfer to an agent using Service Cloud
Einstein Service Agent will become generally available later this year.
