Salesforce Einstein Copilot will penetrate even deeper into the marketing and e-commerce cloud when the features previewed today are released this year.
Today we launched Einstein Copilots, a B2B and B2C shopping assistant for shoppers and buyers, and Salesforce Checkout. Together, these features personalize the shopping experience and streamline the checkout process with generative AI (GenAI) embedded in the customer's own data.
Software shopping assistants can answer customer questions and suggest upsells during chat conversations.

“As marketers, we've been trained to be punished for asking the question, 'Why didn't it work?'” she says. “If we knew why something we tried failed, we would be punished. So historically we don't want to ask those questions. Generative AI allows us to ask those questions without getting blamed. It gives me the opportunity to do more.”
“GenAI tools will allow marketers to target more users with their campaigns than they currently can,” said Michael Affronti, senior vice president and general manager of Salesforce Commerce Cloud.
“Some of the biggest limitations in creating personalized and relevant experiences at scale come down to content creation and management,” Affronti said. “You might look at a campaign and want to run, 'I want to run a version of this for different audience segments.' … It gets exponentially more complicated.

Of course, these co-pilots will need connectivity to and harmonize work instructions and user data to facilitate GenAI capabilities.
