Einstein GPT
Harness generative AI across Salesforce to auto-generate personalized emails, case summaries, marketing content, and Apex code grounded in your CRM data.
What is Einstein GPT?
Einstein GPT brings generative AI capabilities to every Salesforce cloud. It combines public and private LLMs with your CRM data to generate content that is personalized, contextual, and relevant to your business.
Trust Layer protection: All Einstein GPT interactions pass through the Einstein Trust Layer, which masks sensitive data before sending to LLMs, checks outputs for toxicity, and logs everything for audit compliance.
