Startups in the fields of machine vision for sales, natural language chatbots for service requests, targeted marketing coe and personalized e-commerce experiences.
In general, it should be said that productive artificial ielligence is considered a big opportunity in the market. Even according to the research conducted in this field, it is predicted that the value of this sector will be approximately 109 billion dollars by 2030. In fact, C-suite executives in particular expect generative AI to have a big impact on business, with nearly two-thirds of executives believing that generative AI will have a big impact on business in three to five years, according to a rece KPMG survey. Next year, it will have a “high” or “very high” impact on their organization.
Now we know that Salesforce, more than anyone else, is investing in generative AI technologies, investing in tools like EinsteinGPT, which lets its customers ask questions about their coe and services, and SlackGPT, which answers natural language questions about Slack coe. . Salesforce also previews many capabilities, such as creating landing pages on the fly, writing sales emails, and writing code in Apex.
