Unlocking the Power of Einstein for Service

Thinking about using cutting-edge AI functionalities to support your customers? Einstein is the way to go! It is designed to enhance customer support efficiency and accuracy through intelligent automation, predictive analytics and real-time insights.

Optimizing service operations requires real-time monitoring and analytics-driven decision-making. Einstein provides some very interesting tools with this intent:

Case Classification and Routing: Automatically categorizes cases based on historical data and assigns those cases to the best-suited agents based on skills, importance, workload and historical resolution times.

Conversation Mining: Identifies service trends, customer pain points and opportunities  through conversation analysis.

Performance Dashboards: Track key performance metrics such as customer satisfaction trends and case resolution rates.

Article Recommendation: Surfaces the most relevant knowledge articles to address a certain case.

Sentiment Analysis: Detects customer sentiment in real time, allowing agents to adjust their approach for better outcomes.

Empowering Agents with Agentforce

Agentforce is a powerful solution that can leverage all Einstein functionalities to another level and is designed to optimize agent productivity and efficiency. It can gather context about a certain customer and past cases, inquiries, complaints, etc, and solve the issues at hand autonomously without human intervention. To more complex issues, the solution can support teams with the insights they need to deliver an accurate, faster and more personalized assistance.

Agentforce optimizes Agent productivity by providing a next-generation Agent Console designed to enhance efficiency:

- It provides human agents with a centralized workspace where they can manage all customer interactions, cases, and AI-driven insights in one place.

- Integrates customer history, case details, and real-time recommendations, reducing the need to switch between multiple screens.

- Enhances efficiency and response times by giving agents a complete view of the customer journey.

It also allows for the creation of multiple specialized Digital Agents that can interpret natural language and respond to customers, as well as perform actions like create and update records, schedule appointments, trigger automated case escalations, classify and route cases, draft an email and collaborate with human agents.

Besides those amazing functionalities, it supports multiple communication channels (chat, email, phone, social media), maintains a conversation history and allows agents to switch between communication channels while maintaining interaction context. It can also help customers and human agents by automatically leveraging information contained in knowledge articles to address customer issues more quickly and efficiently.

With Agentforce, service teams can work smarter, not harder, by leveraging smart Digital Agents.

Seamless Integrations

Salesforce’s Service solutions integrate seamlessly with third-party applications like Microsoft 365, Zendesk, Twilio, or  ServiceNow, ensuring organizations can leverage their existing Einstein and Agentforce tools to already existing functionalities including chatbots and telephony systems. Additionally, it is possible to sync our Service environment with Marketing Cloud, Data Cloud and many other CRM and Data Platforms, making it easy to leverage these AI solutions with real-time data from other sources, providing a more unified customer view, better predictive analysis, stronger customer insights and a much more personalised service.

This way Salesforce ensures that Einstein and Agentforce can work together to create a stronger and unified AI-powered service environment.
