I attended the Agentforce last week, which focused on AI adoption within Salesforce and its partners network 👉 https://lnkd.in/e8XRt6Rd I must admit that, apart from Tableau, a data visualization leader that I relied on frequently as a data scientist, I haven’t had much experience with Salesforce and its suite of tools. However, the Salesforce ecosystem is 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗮𝗯𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰. Many exhibitors already had highly advanced AI solutions that, more importantly, are 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹! From my perspective, Agentforce is a foundational step toward what can be achieved with the development of large language models (LLMs). It’s clear that this investment is extremely 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀. 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗱, 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱, 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗢𝗜. However, I believe one critical element is missing to bring robustness to these systems: a rigorous evaluation framework. I had the opportunity to 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝘄𝗲'𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 NORMA. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘀. Our approach combines the best of both worlds: software engineering and data science. This ensures well-founded decision-making, allowing us to move beyond the hype and the “wow” factor. Looking forward to continuing discussions with Salesforce teams and partners on how evaluation frameworks can support the transition to and adoption of intelligent agents. Special thanks to Gregoire Ambite for the kind invitation and the great conversation about the foundations of deep learning, both past and present. And a big thanks to my friend and partner, Samir OUAMASSI great Salesforce expert, who helped me better understand the ecosystem. #Agentforce #Salesforce #AI #AIAutomation #LLMs
