Customer expectations are rising sharply, and support teams are busier than ever. Because of this, AI has moved from being a “nice to have” to a must-have. Recent findings from Salesforce’s live test of the Einstein AI Agent in actual service operations show businesses exactly what they can expect when they deploy AI teammates beside human staff.
Salesforce ran a controlled, in-house pilot project to see how the Einstein AI Agent would perform in the daily grind of customer service. The company plugged the AI right into the internal support workflow and checked how well it could respond to live inquiries without sacrificing quality. The data was impressive.
According to a new Salesforce report, AI isn’t here to take human jobs; it’s here to act like a smart gatekeeper. The technology handles routine questions, pulls up the right knowledge guides, and flags tricky cases for human agents. That way, the specialists can focus on the work that really needs a human touch.
“Customers are more willing to ask Agentforce questions that they might hesitate to ask a human support engineer, likely out of fear of judgment or embarrassment. It feels less intimidating to most people.” - Bernard Slowey, SVP of Digital Success at Salesforce
The main message is simple: think of AI as a co-worker, not as a rival.
Whether your customer base is 10 people or 10,000, starting your support with AI is not a dream; it’s doable right now. If your company is adding AI to its support tools, the results you’ll see include:
