When we joined the Salesforce family in 2014, little did we realize the extent of our impact on the business and on the future of work for all businesses. We knew that data could be leveraged for better insights about your professional relationships, thereby impacting overall businesses in a positive way. So we built Relationship Intelligence technology to transform how people could leverage their data better: through automatic data capture and predictive analytics to surface productive insights about those relationships. We built a stellar small business crm solution, with our flagship product, SalesforceIQ CRM; but this was just the beginning of the artificial intelligence (AI) footprint at Salesforce.

With smart additions over the past year of Tempo.AI, Prediction.IO, MetaMind and Implisit, our blended teams continued to build upon intelligent technologies to power the entire Salesforce platform, making the world’s #1 CRM into the world’s smartest CRM. Now with the introduction of Salesforce Einstein, AI is accessible for everyone and every business. One of the many amazing features of Salesforce Einstein that is available today is our suite of sales productivity apps, Salesforce Inbox. Our team has worked tirelessly on these applications and I’m so proud to see it being made available to every Salesforce customer.

So with all the excitement of Einstein and artificial intelligence at this year’s Dreamforce, it would only be appropriate for us, SalesforceIQ—predictive intelligence at Salesforce—to provide our smartest recommendations for what to see and learn at Dreamforce.
