And for good reason \u2014 studies show that generative AI can help <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/mgi\/our-research\/generative-ai-and-the-future-of-work-in-america\">automate 30% of hours worked<\/a> today by 2030, allowing more time to focus on increasing revenues and spending time with customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But did you know that combining <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/news\/press-releases\/2024\/02\/27\/einstein-copilot-news\/\">Conversational AI with CRM<\/a> is fundamentally changing how staff use applications? They\u2019re happier and more productive, and businesses are reducing costs while improving operational efficiency. Up to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/newsroom\/press-releases\/2023-05-03-gartner-poll-finds-45-percent-of-executives-say-chatgpt-has-prompted-an-increase-in-ai-investment\">45% of executives<\/a> are spending more on AI. But, many might not know where to invest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at conversational AI, how it evolved from chatbot to copilot, and how it works with your CRM platform.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-conversational-ai\">What is conversational AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In simple terms, Conversational AI is a technology that can talk to you \u2014 not just respond to you based on pre-programmed knowledge, but actually process what you say and reply in a way that sounds natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s often found in chatbots and virtual assistants and can respond to text or voice inputs. Unlike older AI chatbots, you can ask questions in natural language and get a relevant, trustworthy answer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of it as a helpful colleague. Looking at \u200cdata you don\u2019t understand because it\u2019s complex or not accessible enough (like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/news\/stories\/data-skills-research\/\">almost half of the business leaders<\/a>)? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/data-science-important-generative-ai-success\/\">Ask it to tell you what the data means<\/a>. Not sure how to respond to a customer? Get it to draft a response you can check and send. Need to message someone in a different language? It can automatically translate for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-ai-evolved-from-chatbot-to-intelligent-assistant\">How AI evolved from chatbot to intelligent assistant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/what-is-a-chatbot\/\">Chatbots have developed<\/a> from simple rule-based systems that used pattern-matching to simulate conversation, into intelligent assistants capable of having full conversations. But the journey hasn\u2019t stopped there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Early conversational chatbots used scripts and templates to generate responses. These relied on FAQs or knowledge articles, which helped customers self-serve and freed up time for support staff. The next generation of chatbots was trained on billions of lines of data and used Machine Learning algorithms to continuously improve responses based on user feedback. We also saw the widespread release of personal AI assistants on our phones. These could recognise speech and talk back to us, but still sounded robotic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/products\/customer-service-chatbot\/\">generative AI chatbots<\/a> hit the market, it radically changed customer service and marketing. Here was technology that could create and understand natural language prompts. Conversational chatbots differ slightly from generative AI. They can\u2019t create art or videos, but they can chat with you and create written content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"layout-astro wp-block-salesforce-blog-related-trail\">\n\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"related-trail__illustration related-trail__cloud\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/salesforce-blog\/dist\/images\/related-trail-cloud-layout-astro.png\" alt=\"\">\n\n\t\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"related-trail__illustration related-trail__background\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/salesforce-blog\/dist\/images\/related-trail-background-layout-astro.png\" alt=\"\">\n\n\t<div class=\"related-trail__wrapper\">\n\t\t<div class=\"related-trail__content\">\n\t\t\t\n<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 345.8 82.8\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"related-trail__logo\"><path fill=\"#1d3767\" d=\"M96.6 33h9v22.6h4.8V33h8.8v-4.3H96.6zm49.8 5.3c0-5.7-3.6-9.6-10.8-9.6H127v27h4.8v-7.9h3l2.3-.1 5.7 8h5.6l-7-9.2c3.4-1.6 5-4.5 5-8.2m-11.1 5.3h-3.6V33h3.6c4.4 0 6 2.3 6 5.3s-1.6 5.3-6 5.3m30.8-15.2-12.6 27.2h5l2.3-5.3h11.6l2.4 5.3h5l-12.6-27.1zm-3.6 18 4.1-9.2 4.1 9.3zm25.2-17.7h4.8v27h-4.8zm20.7 0h-4.8v27h17.6v-4.4h-12.8zm38.4 12.1h-13.2V28.7H229v27h4.7V45h13.2v10.6h4.7V28.7h-4.7zm15.9 14.8h17.5v-4.4h-12.7v-6.4H279v-4.2h-11.5v-7.5h12.7v-4.4h-17.5zm36.9-27.2L287 55.6h5l2.3-5.3H306l2.4 5.3h5l-12.6-27.1zm-3.6 18 4.1-9.2 4.1 9.3zm35.4-17.7h-10.2v27h10.2c8.2 0 14.4-5.9 14.4-13.6s-6-13.4-14.4-13.4m0 22.6H326V33h5.4a9.1 9.1 0 1 1 0 18.1z\" \/><path fill=\"#1d315f\" d=\"M43 82.8h.1a74 74 0 0 0 38.5-12.3 3 3 0 0 0 1.3-2.4v-6A66.2 66.2 0 0 0 42.5.2a3 3 0 0 0-2.3 0A66.2 66.2 0 0 0 0 62.2V68a3 3 0 0 0 1.2 2.4 74 74 0 0 0 40.2 12.4z\" \/><path fill=\"#8ed1f4\" d=\"M13.8 51.8a.3.3 0 0 0 0-.1L33 23.6a3.1 3.1 0 0 1 .8-.8 3 3 0 0 1 4 .8l9.5 13.8 3.5-5a3 3 0 0 1 4.9 0L69 51.6a.3.3 0 0 1 .1.3h7C70.7 17.7 43.7 7.2 41.4 6.2c0 0-11.2 4-21.2 16A59.6 59.6 0 0 0 6.8 51.8zm21.7-21.3\" \/><path fill=\"#aa76b3\" d=\"m62 51.9-8.7-12.6-4.2 6.1 4.8 6.4z\" \/><path fill=\"#722a87\" d=\"m49 45.4-4.4 6.4H54z\" \/><path fill=\"#8ed1f4\" d=\"m37 32.6-1.5-2.1z\" \/><path fill=\"#aa76b3\" d=\"m28 41.4 7.6 10.4h1.8l6.4-9.2-6.8-10-1.5-2.1z\" \/><path fill=\"#722a87\" d=\"m28 41.4-7 10.4h14.6z\" \/><path fill=\"#069a49\" d=\"M43.8 72.5a1.8 1.8 0 0 0-1-2.4L40.1 69a8 8 0 0 1-1-.5 7.8 7.8 0 0 1-2.4-10.7H6a44 44 0 0 0-.2 4.4v4.4A70 70 0 0 0 26 75a70 70 0 0 0 15.2 2l2.4-4.3zm33-14.8H44.3l-2.5 3a1.7 1.7 0 0 0-.2.5 1.8 1.8 0 0 0 1 2.3l2.7 1.2.7.4a7.8 7.8 0 0 1 3 10.6l-.5.9 4.8-.8a71 71 0 0 0 8.4-2.2l1.3-.4a71 71 0 0 0 14-6.7v-8.8z\" \/><path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"m46 65-.7-.3-2.7-1.2a1.8 1.8 0 0 1-1-2.4 1.7 1.7 0 0 1 .2-.4l2.5-3h-7.6A7.8 7.8 0 0 0 39 68.4a8 8 0 0 0 1 .5l2.7 1.2a1.8 1.8 0 0 1 1 2.4l-.1.2-2.5 4.3a52.5 52.5 0 0 0 7.2-.4l.5-.9A7.8 7.8 0 0 0 46 65.1z\" \/><path fill=\"#157139\" d=\"M56.9 67.3h8.8l-4.4-5zM23 71h9l-4.5-5.1zm-4.1-10.4-4.5 5h8.9z\" \/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"wp-block-related-trail__title\">Get started with Service AI in 5 minutes.<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<p>Take our free Trailhead module to learn all about AI for service.

It\u2019s trained on large amounts of data \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/playbook\/ai-guide\/\">ideally, trusted internal data<\/a>, so it will be perfectly tailored for your business. When the AI has learned to recognise words and phrases, it moves on to natural language generation \u2014 in other words, talking back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Say you want to find out what happened during a meeting without reading a 40-page transcript. You\u2019d drop the transcript into the AI tool and ask: \u201cWhat were the outcomes of this meeting?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your query would be converted into machine-readable text, processed, and analysed by NLP, along with the transcript. Thanks to Machine Learning and its training data, the AI would scan the transcript and <a href=\"https:\/\/help.salesforce.com\/s\/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_sales_eci_call_summary.htm&amp;release=246&amp;type=5\">create a summary<\/a> of the actions for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the AI tool sends your summary, it\u2019ll respond: \u201cHere are the outcomes.\u201d If you want to know whether you have any actions, you can continue chatting to it without having to resend the original query. If you have any feedback on the AI response, you can share it, and it will use Machine Learning to provide improved answers to you and your colleagues in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-use-conversational-ai\">Why use Conversational AI?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversational AI helps your team \u200cwork faster, smarter, and to make more informed decisions. It has the potential to transform and modernise the workplace, and it\u2019s flexible, so every team will get different benefits from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0<strong>1.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/products\/ai-for-sales\/\"><strong>Sales<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 help sales reps research accounts and prepare for meetings, keep records up to date, and summarise outcomes.

That means finding out how your customers and staff feel about AI and addressing any concerns. Trust is a big one. Users can be wary of sharing sensitive information with a machine. They need to know that their data is secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure the AI product that you use has a secure AI architecture. We developed the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/products\/secure-ai\/\"> Einstein Trust Layer<\/a> to implement enterprise security standards. It allows companies to benefit from conversational AI without compromising customer data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re training your AI, make sure you\u2019re aware of bias and toxicity. If you\u2019re using skewed datasets that aren\u2019t representative of company values, there\u2019s a risk of AI learning and replicating societal bias or harmful stereotypes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another common worry is that people will lose their jobs to AI \u2014 according to our<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/form\/it\/3rd-state-of-it\/\"> State of IT <\/a>report, 64% of IT leaders are concerned about the ethics of generative AI, and 62% are worried about the impact on their careers. Reassure your team that Conversational AI is there to help, not to replace them. It\u2019s good practice to always have a human in the loop when using AI, to check how it responds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"layout-one wp-block-salesforce-blog-offer\">\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-offer__wrapper\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-offer__content\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"wp-block-offer__title\">Everything You Need To Know About AI Copilots for CRM<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"wp-block-offer__description\">AI copilots for CRM are closing the gap between staff and technology.
