Salesforce developed Einstein GPT, the first generative AI system for CRM, to address customer expectations for faster, personalized responses and automated tasks. The solution integrates LLMs across sales, service, marketing, and development workflows while ensuring data security and trust. The implementation includes features like automated email generation, content creation, code generation, and analytics, all grounded in customer-specific data with human-in-the-loop validation.
# Salesforce's Enterprise LLM Implementation
## Background and Context
Salesforce has developed Einstein GPT as the world's first generative AI system specifically designed for Customer Relationship Management (CRM). The company processes over one trillion predictions per week and has built this system on top of extensive AI research, including:
- Over 200 AI research papers
- More than 200 AI patents
- Multiple acquisitions of AI companies (RelayIQ, PredictionIO, Metamind)
- In-house development of automated machine learning technology and forecasting methods
## Architecture and Infrastructure
### AI Cloud Architecture
The solution is built on a unified architecture with several key layers:
- Hyperforce - Base infrastructure layer focused on security and compliance
- Platform layer - Provides low-code tools for developers
- LLM layer - Integrated into the platform
- Builder layer - Allows construction of secure apps
- Application layer - Pre-built applications using the infrastructure
### Security and Trust Framework
- Strict controls for customer data usage
- Secure data retrieval mechanisms
- Data masking capabilities
