What Is Einstein for Service?

Salesforce’s Einstein for Service is an easy to use, comprehensive artificial intelligence (AI) solution for Customer Service. It’s a smart tool aimed at increasing productivity and efficiency for your service agents. Einstein for Service is built right into your agents’ flow of work and available across all service channels and case management systems in Salesforce Service Cloud.

Think of Einstein as a smart assistant or an extra helping hand. When applied to customer service, it can perform and automate tasks for any individual, group, or team.

Imagine if you could offload an agent’s routine tasks to a skilled smart assistant, freeing up time for them to focus on high-priority cases and provide customer experiences that delight. With the help of AI, your service agents can quickly:

Respond to customer issues across any channel with high-quality, personalized messages.
Quickly summarize conversations and interactions.
Suggest and draft relevant knowledge articles that enhance the effectiveness of your knowledge base.
Add complete and accurate case information for each customer interaction.

Create Tailored Customer Experiences with Service AI Grounding

You can use grounding to add data to a prompt and give the LLM the context it needs to provide accurate and relevant responses. With Service AI Grounding, your admin selects which case and knowledge fields are included for grounding, then Einstein begins indexing those objects and fields. After indexing is complete, Einstein can use information from your unique knowledge base and case history to add context and personalization to your customer communications. All information used by Service AI Grounding is protected by the Einstein Trust Layer, so you get the most out of generative AI without compromising data security and privacy controls.

Help your agents and help your customers by turning on a few Einstein for Service features that increase your team’s productivity and effectiveness. With a better understanding of Einstein for Service’s capabilities, you’re ready to add an extra helping hand to your service team and customers.
