5 Ways You Can #BeAnInnovator and Leader in AI

By

While it may seem that artificial intelligence is a future state, it’s here now. AI is deeply embedded in our personal lives, from the recommendations Amazon gives us when we’re shopping, to Gmail finishing sentences before we’re able to type them! Business is following rapidly, leveraging AI to improve efficiency and customer experience. Salesforce Einstein is already delivering 475 Million predictions per day! And Salesforce Admins are in a great position to lead your companies in this exciting wave of innovation.

We want every Salesforce Admin to be a citizen data scientist, but we know it can be daunting to get started. So we built a 6-video learning adventure to guide you through the first steps. We had a blast with hundreds of you during the real-time Be An Innovator adventure, and we hope to see many more of you join the learning fun. Here are the simple steps to take and some examples of your peers’ progress.

1. Dive In and Share Your Progress

3. Note These #ProTips for Building Predictions

  1. Be sure to remove certain types of fields from your prediction. Learn about it in this blog post by Ayori Selassi: 3 Types of Fields To Exclude from Your Prediction.
  2. If your model is stuck in “Pending” status longer than 24 hours, clone and try again.
  3. If you don’t see predictions on your records, make sure your model is enabled and give it about an hour after the prediction is done and enabled to populate.
  4. Learn about other predictions you could build with Einstein Prediction Builder in the Big Book of Predictions.
