Einstein GPT
Salesforce is releasing Einstein GPT, which will bring auto-generated AI content directly within the Salesforce platform, with use cases ranging from Slack to sales, service, marketing, commerce, and app builders. This is the world’s most powerful, intelligent, and generative CRM, increasing employee productivity and improving customer experiences.
Einstein GPT mixes public and private AI models with CRM data so that users may directly ask natural-language prompts (i.e., conversational queries) within Salesforce CRM. The result? AI-generated content that continuously adjusts to changing client information and saves user’s significant time.
What do we mean when we talk about public and private AI models? Einstein GPT contains:
- Salesforce’s private AI models: These are the models produced by Salesforce and used by customers to use features from the Einstein technology layer.
- Using OpenAI’s ChatGPT: Salesforce and OpenAI have partnered to provide enterprises with out-of-the-box generative AI capabilities with direct access to OpenAI’s enterprise-grade ChatGPT technology.
- Bring your own model: Because Einstein GPT is open and extensible, you can use it with your external model(s).
To absorb, harmonize, and unify a company’s customer data, data is poured into these models in real-time from Salesforce ‘clouds’ and the Salesforce Data Cloud (Genie).

Salesforce Integration User License
Sign up for a free account if you want to be a trailblazer in Salesforce. The problem of API-only licenses was discussed during a prior True to the Core discussion. In essence, the cost of licenses makes purchasing licenses with numerous APIs and integrations prohibitively expensive. Yet, each API has a different level of visibility, and each API has a different level of control.
Starting March 14, 2023, Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited edition orgs will receive five complimentary Salesforce Integration User Licenses, with extra licenses costing $10 each.
