Service GPT’s capabilities are helping both traditional and field service teams leverage AI to work more efficiently, giving service professionals more time to focus on higher-order tasks and establish strong customer relationships through personalized interactions.

Salesforce packed its flexible Einstein GPT Trust Layer solution with various features to ensure data security. The solution also provides Data Access Checks to keep customer data safe by only using data a user provides permissions for.

The service puts “thousands of skills at your command,” boosting productivity and enabling clients to deal more closely with large scale customer-bases via CRM task automation procedures.
