The TrailblazerDX Main Keynote was a highly anticipated event, and it did not disappoint. The biggest news coming out of the keynote was the announcement of Einstein GPT – the first generative AI for CRM. If you did not see the Keynote, you can watch it HERE.
During the keynote, OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, highlighted the potential of Einstein GPT to transform industries and change the way we interact with technology. He pointed out that natural language processing has come a long way in recent years, but there is still a long way to go. With Einstein GPT, however, we are taking a major step forward in this evolution.
Salesforce Einstein GPT
Einstein GPT is for every CRM user covering Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Marketing Cloud, Commerce Cloud, and Data Cloud, as well as Developer tools like VS Code.
Binding available data in the organization with public data is a big deal for Sales, Marking, and Service reps in responding to customers. This offers an edge for Salesforce over other Chat GPTs in the market. Opportunities are mind-blowing, and it is a new year & new shift as Sarah Franklin as stated in the Keynote. The ultimate Einstein GPT features I am most excited about are:
- Generating pages (landing, lead gen page, etc.) with simple chat or voice commands.
- Generating Apex Code and Test classes in VS code per Organizations’ code styles.
- Chatbot Development: With Einstein GPT, you can generate natural language text that can be used to train chatbots and virtual assistants.
In today’s fast-paced business environment, organizations are constantly looking for ways to improve their IT automation processes to increase efficiency and reduce costs. These exciting Einstein GPT features will help Salesforce users and developers develop pages, and Apex Code quicker and increase productivity.
Deploying Einstein GPT Generated Components
When it comes to releasing these AI-generated, low-code configurations to production, most organizations face bottlenecks. FlexDeploy, other deployment tools, or the sf deploy command can be used to deploy these to production environments. But it is not just a matter of just deploying changes to the production Salesforce Org. Using a tool like FlexDeploy comes with the additional benefit of incorporating controls, approvals, and other DevOps best practices.
Let’s take a look at using FlexDeploy to deploy Einstein GPT code in more detail.
Automatically Source Control Code and Configurations
FlexDeploy Bots can be configured to automatically check-in code and configuration changes to your GIT repository. Admins, developers, and business users don’t need to know any of the underlying tools and commands to source control your changes. This allows you to easily revert back to previous working versions of code and configurations if needed.
Automate Quality Scan Checks
FlexDeploy includes built-in scanning tools like PMD that can help you automate deployment for your auto-generated or manually written code and configurations. By integrating other scan tools like SonarQube or Checkmarks into your release pipeline, you can verify results and prevent poor-quality code and known vulnerabilities from getting released to Production.
Whether you’re developing chatbots, creating marketing pages, automating testing, or managing releases, FlexDeploy can help you work faster and more efficiently.
Test Automation
FlexDeploy includes built-in testing tools that can help you automate your testing process. By integrating Einstein GPT into your testing pipeline, you can generate test data and scenarios that can help you test your applications more thoroughly.
Release Management
FlexDeploy includes release management tools that can help you manage your software releases. This Release Management support is not just for Salesforce — it can deploy all theeco-systems in your organization. This will ensure proper approvals, cut-over schedules, and quality check gates.
Visibility & Audit Reports
FlexDeploy provides complete visibility into who, what, and when. The customizable dashboard will give visibility per your role. Reports can be used for Audit compliance.
Automated Backups and On-Demand Rollbacks
FlexDeploy automatically generates backups. These backups ensure the availability of old code or configurations and provides on-demand full or partial rollbacks.
Conclusion
Overall, the combination of Einstein GPT and FlexDeploy offers a powerful solution for organizations looking to streamline their IT automation processes and improve their overall efficiency. Whether you’re developing chatbots, creating marketing pages, automating testing, or managing releases, FlexDeploy can help you work faster and more efficiently. By integrating other tools into your deployment process, you can take advantage of unique capabilities, build better software and deliver faster with high-quality code.
