The concept of “AI is the new UI” took center stage at the Salesforce Connections event in Chicago, where Salesforce President Sarah Franklin introduced the idea of replacing traditional online shopping experiences with AI-generated engagement tailored to individual customers’ needs and interests. This revolutionary approach to e-commerce emphasizes the need for businesses to be at the forefront of AI advancements and marks a shift in thinking from applications to models for digital experiences.
As Sarah Franklin put it, “We are at the precipice of an AI revolution.” Companies should not take this statement lightly, as the rapidly evolving world of AI will soon have a significant impact on e-commerce and business operations alike. Salesforce, for one, has big plans to extend its Einstein GTP across the entire suite of applications, including Marketing, Sales, and Service. Moreover, this advanced technology will integrate with Slack and Tableau for an even more comprehensive user experience.
Among the capabilities planned for release in Q3 2023 or early 2024, Salesforce’s Marketing GTP will offer segment creation using natural language prompts, email content creation, rapid identity resolution, and dynamic product descriptions. Furthermore, it will integrate with third-party solution Typeface for visual content creation within the cloud. This extensive list of features promises to redefine the way businesses approach marketing and customer engagement.
On the commerce side, Salesforce aims to deliver personalized experiences at every stage of the customer journey through text, images, and video. This aligns with Franklin’s vision of replacing online catalog shopping with interactive end-to-end experiences. More detailed information about pricing and other commerce-related developments will be discussed at the upcoming Salesforce AI Day event on June 12.
AI’s benefits for marketers are numerous, as Jay Wilder, VP of Product Marketing for Marketing Cloud, explains. With AI, marketers can expect significant improvements in data segmentation, making it easier for them to target the right audience. Additionally, AI simplifies the process of working with customer data, eliminating complex manual processes to analyze and use data effectively.
Embracing AI-powered customer journeys in e-commerce is no longer a futuristic concept but an imminent reality. Transitioning to AI for customer engagement and marketing strategies has the potential to yield massive benefits for businesses of all sizes. Staying updated on the latest AI advancements is crucial for companies to remain competitive and provide a seamless, enhanced customer experience. As the AI revolution continues to gather pace, Salesforce clearly leads the charge in transforming e-commerce as we know it.
Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.
Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).
This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.
I honestly can't wait to work in many more projects together!
