Meet Piper, the #1 AI SDR Agent

For decades, marketers have juggled clunky systems and limited SDR bandwidth to convert inbound buyers—leaving too much pipeline on the table. Now, in the era of agentic marketing, you have an AI SDR agent who can engage and convert all your inbound buyers across both the website and email inbox, 24/7.

Demand Generation FAQs

Demand generation is the full-funnel effort to build awareness, capture interest, and convert buyers into qualified pipeline, from the moment a prospect first hears about your brand to when they're sales-ready. With agentic demand gen, AI agents identify intent signals in real time, engage buyers instantly, and nurture them autonomously across channels 24/7.

An AI SDR (AI sales development representative) is an autonomous agent that works your website and email inbox 24/7. It identifies high-intent buyers, qualifies their interest, answers questions, and books meetings without requiring a human SDR to be available. Salesforce's AI SDR is Piper by Qualified.

Many B2B deals involve multiple decision-makers, and engaging only one contact is why some deals stall. With Salesforce, the Account Discovery Agent (GA June '26) analyzes cross-channel interactions to identify missing buying group members, gauge their sentiment, and surface next best actions for marketing and sales teams, so no gap in the buying committee remains invisible.

Piper, the AI SDR from the Qualified aquisition, is the ready-to-go solution it's designed for inbound leads (people who come to you, like website visitors). Piper follows a fast, pre-built path. It's best for turning high-intent inbound leads into conversations, without a lot of setup. Agentforce SDR allows lots of customization. It's designed for outbound outreach (your team going to prospects), and gives you full flexibility to customize workflows to fit your specific needs. It's for organizations that want to tailor every step of the process on the Salesforce platform.

Piper qualifies and books the meeting; a Slack alert fires to the AE with meeting prep notes; the full conversation logs in CRM; and the AE sees a Unified Engagement History Dashboard showing everything the buyer did. Marketers can identify leads that need more qualification and use Flow to create adaptive and unique nurtures, that traverse channels and evolve depending on the account or buyer.

Most companies run marketing and sales as two completely separate teams, where leads get tossed over the wall and nobody knows if they ever turned into revenue. Salesforce solves this by putting both teams on the same platform with the same customer data, so there's no handoff fumble. Marketing can see which campaigns are driving deals, sales can see every touchpoint before a rep ever picks up the phone, and AI SDR agents like Piper (from Qualified acquisition) and Agentforce SDR keep the pipeline moving automatically. The result: marketing isn't just generating leads anymore, now it's directly contributing to closed revenue, and both teams can finally prove it.
