Salesforce Data Cloud is a real-time, unified data platform that helps businesses connect, harmonize, and engage with their customers. It provides a single view of the customer across all channels, enabling businesses to deliver real-time personalized experiences. Data Cloud is powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), which help companies to automate tasks, improve decision-making, and drive revenue growth.

Einstein GPT is a generative AI CRM technology that combines Salesforce proprietary AI models with generative AI technology from partners, public large language models (LLMs), and real-time data from Data Cloud. It can be used to create personalized content for customers, automate tasks, and generate predictions. Einstein GPT is built on top of Salesforce’s Einstein Platform, which provides a foundation for AI and machine learning applications. It uses a generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) model, a type of neural network trained on a massive dataset of text and code.
