What is Einstein Bot?
Einstein Bot is a conversational chatbot powered using Salesforce’s AI layer (Einstein) in the back end. It is part of Salesforce Service Cloud and its job is to interact with customers and provide them with the information they need quickly and accurately without human intervention.
Einstein Bot acts as the first response to customers’ queries and can handle simple, repetitive tasks to spare workload from live agents. It can answer and ask questions and perform actions based on pre-defined rules or based on inputs from the customer.
Einstein Bot is an additional channel of engagement (along with phone, email, text message, and social media) for customers and can be made available on the company’s websites, customer/partner community pages, and customer/partner-facing mobile apps.
“Sound interesting? But how does it work?”
How does Salesforce Einstein Bot work?
Salesforce Einstein Bot uses NLP/NLU technology that trains the chatbot to create a learning model. The bot is trained by creating dialogs (the conversational snippets for your use cases) that control what Einstein Bot can do. Every dialog is associated with dialog intent which can be trained (using utterances) to understand variation in customer input. Utterances are statements that are used to train Einstein Bot to know when to start a dialog.
With some basic training around your use cases and by providing simple (natural language) words and sentences to Einstein Bot along with the power of an artificial intelligence layer in Salesforce Einstein, you can quickly and easily set up Einstein Bot to start supporting customers.
