But some of its most transformative principles\u200c \u2014 \u200clike reasoning, adaptability, and autonomy\u200c \u2014 \u200care already taking root inside the enterprise today. While AGI may conjure images of superintelligent machines surpassing human intelligence, businesses aren\u2019t waiting around for this technology to arrive. They\u2019re applying these foundational concepts now to solve real-world challenges at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Salesforce, we call these \u201cboring breakthroughs\u201d\u200c \u2014 not because they\u2019re unremarkable, but because they\u2019re quietly capable, reliably scalable, and built to endure. They\u2019re so seamless, some might take them for granted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These breakthroughs are ushering in an entirely new category I recently introduced called: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/blog\/enterprise-general-intelligence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Enterprise General Intelligence (EGI)<\/a> \u2013 AI designed not for science fiction, but for the everyday realities of modern business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-growing-need-for-egi-in-business\"><strong>The growing need for EGI in business<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We define EGI as purpose-built <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/agentforce\/what-are-ai-agents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AI agents<\/a> for business optimized not just for capability, but for consistency, too. EGI interprets context, understands data relationships, aligns with operational goals, and autonomously executes workflows to deliver outcomes without human intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By capability, we mean not just how well your AI understands enterprise data and context, but also its ability to handle complex tasks, reason through challenges, and adapt incrementally\u200c \u2014 \u200cbuilding on what it\u2019s already learned to take trusted actions on a user\u2019s behalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your EGI is probably ahead of the game if you\u2019re using technologies like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/data\/?d=cta-body-promo-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Data Cloud<\/a>, Salesforce\u2019s hyperscale data engine; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/agentforce\/what-is-rag\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Retrieval-Augmented Generation<\/a> (RAG), which acts as an agent\u2019s memory, transforming unstructured text into searchable formats; and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/agentforce\/what-is-a-reasoning-engine\/atlas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Atlas Reasoning Engine<\/a>, which was incubated at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforceairesearch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Salesforce AI Research<\/a>, and acts as the brain for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/agentforce\/?d=cta-body-promo-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Agentforce<\/a>, the intelligent activation layer of the Salesforce Platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These tools give AI real-time access to business knowledge, allowing AI agents to understand nuanced relationships, reason through complex workflows, and take informed action across systems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But capability alone isn\u2019t enough. Consistency earns trust. To be enterprise-ready, agents must operate reliably in complex scenarios and integrate seamlessly with existing systems. That\u2019s why rigorous, simulated testing is essential. By stress-testing agent behavior in realistic business environments, companies can identify edge cases, refine performance, and ensure dependable operation before deployment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This foundation of trust transforms EGI from a promising concept into a mission-critical solution. Achieving that requires effective evaluation frameworks, enterprise-grade guardrails, and trusted toxicity detection systems. With reinforcement learning and features like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/artificial-intelligence\/trusted-ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Salesforce\u2019s Trust Layer<\/a> continuously monitoring and improving model behavior, EGI systems don\u2019t just perform\u200c \u2014 \u200cthey perform reliably in high-stakes business environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"contextual-driver has-text-align-left contextual-driver--einstein\">\n\t<header class=\"tidbit-header\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"tidbit-head\">\n\t\t\tDive Into Recent Advancements from Salesforce AI Research.\t\t<\/h2>\n\t<\/header>\n\t<div class=\"tidbit-body\">\n\t\t<p><\/p>\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"tidbit-link label\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"label has-right-arrow has-right-arrow--small\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/stories\/ai-research-agentic-advancements\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t<span>CLICK HERE<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 14 10\">\n\t<path d=\"M13.92 5.38a1 1 0 000-.76.9.9 0 00-.17-.26.25.25 0 000-.07l-4-4a1 1 0 00-1.46 1.42L10.59 4H1.07a1 1 0 000 2h9.52l-2.3 2.29a1 1 0 000 1.42 1 1 0 001.42 0l4-4a.25.25 0 000-.07.9.9 0 00.21-.26z\" \/>\n<\/svg>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img class=\"tidbit img-einstein\"\n\t\tsrcset=\"\n\t\t\thttps:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/themes\/newsroom\/assets\/images\/article-tidbit-einstein-large@0.5x.png 84w,\n\t\t\thttps:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/themes\/newsroom\/assets\/images\/article-tidbit-einstein-large@1x.png 168w,\n\t\t\thttps:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/themes\/newsroom\/assets\/images\/article-tidbit-einstein-large@2x.png 336w\n\t\t\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/wp-content\/themes\/newsroom\/assets\/images\/article-tidbit-einstein-large@1x.png\"\n\t\talt=\"Illustration of einstein\"\n\t\tsizes=\"(min-width:1024px) 175px, 130px\"\n\t>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-trust-is-built-with-consistency-not-guesswork\"><strong>Trust is built with consistency, not guesswork<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Such attention to detail might seem excessive \u2014 until you consider what\u2019s at stake. For example, a sub-par restaurant suggestion or outdated stat in a school paper might be forgiven in a consumer AI use case setting. But in the enterprise, if an AI agent gets it wrong, it can result in missed revenue, broken processes, and damaged customer relationships \u2014 all of which can be catastrophic for the business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/artificial-intelligence\/what-are-large-language-models\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Large Language Models (LLMs)<\/a> continue to break performance records on increasingly complex benchmarks, they still struggle with simpler tasks that humans \u200chandle with ease. This gap in performance is what we call &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/blog\/jagged-intelligence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">jagged intelligence<\/a>\u201d \u2014 small inconsistencies in an AI agent\u2019s ability to execute basic tasks. This type of inconsistency can undermine trust and highlight the disconnect between raw intelligence and reliable outcomes for businesses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, that\u2019s why rigorous testing isn\u2019t optional within an EGI world. No airline would launch an aircraft without stress-testing it for extreme conditions. No global bank would let an agent approve high-risk transactions without first testing them across hundreds of regulatory scenarios. And no healthcare network would let an agent summarize patient notes without first verifying it can interpret clinical shorthand, regional terminology, and cross-specialty nuances.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Put simply: businesses cannot afford to deploy AI agents without fully evaluating them under real-world complexity. Before going live, agents must be tested in simulation environments that reflect the nuances of enterprise operations. These controlled spaces push agents to their limits and surface issues \u200cwell before they would ever have an opportunity to affect business outcomes. When it comes to delivering trusted EGI, trial-and-error is not a strategy. It&#8217;s a risk businesses can never afford to take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-new-framework-for-agentic-simulated-environment-testing-nbsp\"><strong>A new framework for agentic simulated environment testing&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s the thinking behind <a href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\/pdf\/2411.02305\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CRMArena<\/a>, a new benchmark simulation developed by the Salesforce AI Research team to test agentic behavior in realistic CRM scenarios. This initial simulation environment example replicates tasks across three key personas: service agents, analysts, and managers. The objective is to evaluate whether current models are truly ready for enterprise use, and early results indicate they aren\u2019t. Even with guided prompting, agents succeed less than 65% of the time at function-calling for these personas\u2019 use cases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These findings underscore the need for advanced model capabilities beyond general-purpose LLMs, with systems that are purpose-built for business. They also highlight the essential role of simulated agentic testing environments in refining and validating AI agents before they engage with real customers or influence business outcomes. CRMArena provides a critical foundation that sheds light into where AI agents need improvements, before assuring they&#8217;re ready for real-world deployment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This represents a pivotal step toward a future of sophisticated agent testing environments, paving the way for even more advanced platforms that will drive continuous AI innovation and ensure enterprise scalability and readiness at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"more-from-block more-from-block--2 alignfull wp-block-newsroom-moreontopic\">\n\t<div class=\"more-from-block__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4
