We took a high-level stance on all things AI recently. It’s here and it’s not going anywhere. More specifically, AI continues to transform the landscape of customer relationship management (CRM), with Salesforce’s Einstein AI stands out as a game-changer in the world of RevOps. At Lane Four, we’ve fully embraced this technology and are excited to get more of our clients on board as well. In this post, we’ll provide more insights on some key features across the Clouds that we have seen positively impact our clients’ operations. Understanding these aspects is crucial for anyone looking to harness the full potential of AI in their business operations.
Einstein Copilot
Einstein Copilot serves as an all-encompassing AI assistant built into Salesforce applications to ensure a seamless user experience. It can answer questions, generate content, and automate actions, boosting productivity, improving customer relationships, and increasing margins. Think ChatGPT built right into your Salesforce org!
- Insight: Unlike other AI assistants, Einstein Copilot uses your organization’s unique data and metadata to deliver valuable customer insights and recommendations, all while maintaining privacy and data governance and without needing costly AI model training. Copilot seamlessly integrates with different Salesforce products. Take Data Cloud for example, this powerful combination allows users to engage with AI through conversational prompts, providing clear and actionable responses. With capabilities such as querying and summarizing records, creating custom actions, and generating guided action plans, Einstein Copilot leverages data from multiple sources, including your CRM and external systems and tools outside of Salesforce, to gather all active data and drive business efficiency.

Platform Development
After learning about the advantage of Einstein for Developers at TrailblzerDX in the Spring, we thought we’d reshare some great benefits of this tool to Devs working within Salesforce. Now available in VSCode (and actively being used by our own team members!), Einstein for Developers is an AI-powered tool with access to org data, enabling it to analyze context and deliver answers with greater accuracy. Here are three of the primary features we’ve been finding super useful:
- Generate Apex code: Ability to enter natural language instructions to describe the expected functionality and receive Apex code suggestions directly within your editor.
- Inline Autocomplete: Receive inline suggestions while coding in Apex and LWC files, allowing you to easily select the most suitable option.
- Test Case Generation: Ability to quickly generate test cases for apex methods, by right clicking on an apex method and selecting ‘Generate a test’
Some other cool Dev AI features…
Einstein Vision and Language – Einstein Vision and Language APIs allow developers to build AI-powered apps that can analyze images and text. These capabilities include image recognition, sentiment analysis, and language translation, among others.
- Insight: By integrating powerful AI functionalities into custom apps, businesses can enhance user experiences, automate complex tasks, and unlock new revenue streams through innovative solutions.
Einstein Prediction Builder – Einstein Prediction Builder enables developers to create custom AI models tailored to specific business needs without requiring advanced data science skills. It leverages existing CRM data to build predictive models that can forecast outcomes and suggest actions.
- Insight: Custom AI models tailored to unique business requirements provide a significant competitive advantage, allowing companies to proactively address challenges and seize opportunities based on accurate predictions.
Salesforce Einstein is revolutionizing the way businesses approach CRM by providing powerful AI-driven tools across the system.
