Foreword

Hello! My name is Christopher Long, and I’ve been working in the web technology space for the last 25 years. I started learning to code when I was ten years old. Today, learning to code at ten might be considered a late start, but in the Eighties, it made me feel like a trailblazer. My grandfather, a code breaker for the U.S. government and a true technophile, taught me how to play Zork on his cassette-based Commodore 64 and how to connect to the internet to check the local bank’s message board for the day’s weather forecast. From that moment, I never looked back. Currently, I work at Salesforce in Partner Alliances, where it’s my great joy to enable our Salesforce Partners to maximize their use of our products.

Salesforce has been incorporating AI into its platform for many years, and now, with the arrival of Einstein Copilot, we’re poised to take things to the next level. With this book, Joseph and Andy have created an invaluable resource, guiding readers through the diverse features of Einstein Copilot and illustrating how it can transform opportunities within Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Marketing Cloud. Drawing on their extensive experience, they offer practical insights that make this book a crucial asset for anyone looking to maximize the value of their Salesforce investment. I’m fortunate to have met and spent time with both of them.

In March 2024, at TrailblazerDX in San Francisco, I was sitting with my coworker Arvind in the back of the main hall, watching as brave souls stepped up to the microphone one after another to share their thoughts with Salesforce leadership. It’s a memory that will always stick with me. "Salesforce True to the Core" is a forum where Salesforce executives and product managers engage directly with the user community in an open Q&A format. After four or five questions, someone wearing very stylish glasses walked up to the mic. It was Joseph, and that day he was a true champion for Salesforce Partners. He politely pointed out that while Einstein had arrived, Salesforce Partners were struggling to get hands-on experience with it. Needless to say, Einstein was soon in the hands of Salesforce Partners.

Andy and I met at the Salesforce office in Atlanta, Georgia, during an "AI+Data+CRM" camp for Salesforce Partners. He introduced himself in the lobby, and I could immediately tell by his long ponytail and even longer trench coat that he was no novice to consulting. Throughout the two-day camp, Andy quickly proved himself to be a legitimate expert. The goal of the camp was to build a solution using Data Cloud and Einstein Copilot, and Andy was way ahead of the curve. Yes, everyone was working from the same workbooks that I had provided, but Andy was fully engaged and actively contributing to the conversation. He offered intelligent, cohesive thoughts grounded in experience and was excited to be there, building with new tools. In addition to his technical prowess, it became evident that he has an eye for detail. Remember the workbooks I mentioned? Andy was the only person who really took note of how they were written. He made several comments about them to the group. It’s not every day you meet someone with a true appreciation for instructional, technical documentation.

What a combo! A true and valued Salesforce community advocate, and one of the most detail-oriented, seasoned Salesforce consultants in the game. I can’t think of a better duo to introduce you to the current state of the Salesforce platform, starring Einstein Copilot.

The strength of this book lies not only in its coverage of Einstein Copilot’s features but also in the clarity and precision with which these concepts are explained. Each chapter is written to ensure that you can easily grasp the complexities of AI-driven automation, from setting up and customizing the Copilot to leveraging it for specific business needs. Joseph and Andy’s expertise shines through as they methodically explore how Einstein Copilot can be applied across different domains, providing actionable strategies to enhance productivity, streamline workflows, and drive better customer outcomes. The inclusion of real-world examples and detailed walkthroughs further enhances the practical utility of this guide, making it a must-read for professionals at all levels.

As you dive into the pages of this book, you’ll not only gain a thorough understanding of how Salesforce Einstein Copilot works but also find a roadmap for applying these advanced tools to the unique challenges and opportunities your business faces. Joseph and Andy have done an excellent job breaking down complex technologies into accessible, actionable knowledge. Whether you’re a seasoned Salesforce user or new to the platform, this book will equip you with the insights needed to leverage AI in the flow of work for truly transformative results.
