Marc’s entrance was the perfect prelude to the groundbreaking announcements to come. He begins by saying, “This Dreamforce is really like no other Dreamforce we’ve ever had. This is about humans and robots driving customer success together.” Third Wave Of AI: Agentforce As AI took center stage in recent years, Salesforce kicked off with Einstein, bringing predictive AI into the spotlight. Acknowledging that Copilot world had its ups and downs, he stated, “We don’t see how this Copilot world is going to get us the better business results we’ve been looking for.” Salesforce is now set to change the game. By launching Agentforce, autonomous AI agents built to automate tasks across sales, marketing, and service, we have stepped into the third wave of AI he says. They’ve combined all their Customer 360 apps into one platform, creating the most accurate AI system ever. This new approach integrates chatbots and copilots, with plans to expand further. It’s a complete, all-rounder solution that’s both automated and easy to use. New Data Cloud features Salesforce is rolling out new features for its Data Cloud to significantly enhance the capabilities of its AI agents. These updates include advanced data lakes for managing extensive information, support unstructured data like audio and video, add 50 new connectors, and include a low latency data layer for quicker responses from AI agents. Salesforce expects these enhancements to help its AI agents manage complex tasks, offer personalized interactions, and ultimately increase sales and customer satisfaction. Keynote with Jensen Huang from NVIDIA Jensen Huang’s keynote at Dreamforce spotlighted the impactful collaboration between NVIDIA and Salesforce. By integrating NVIDIA’s advanced GPU technology with Salesforce’s Einstein AI, both companies have achieved significant advancements. For Salesforce, this partnership has enhanced Einstein’s processing power, enabling faster and more accurate AI-driven insights and interactions. For NVIDIA, the collaboration has demonstrated the effectiveness of their technology in real-world applications, showcasing their GPUs’ role in powering cutting-edge AI solutions. This synergy has driven innovation, improved performance, and showcased the strengths of both companies in advancing AI capabilities.
