Salesforce's Einstein gets glowing reviews from Pacific Crest, Coca Cola and Amazon

Salesforce (CRM) held a small group meeting of less than 60 people at its headquarters in San Francisco last week where it announced that Einstein AI is now available to all its customers across sales, service, marketing, commerce and more, even going so far as to title the presentation, "The Year of Einstein." Salesforce also announced a strategic partnership with IBM to combine the power of Einstein and IBM's Watson to provide more insightful analytics for businesses. Salesforce clearly has big ambitions for Einstein AI. As the company says on its website, "Einstein is like having your own data scientist to guide you through your day." Einstein is a product of about $600 million in acquisitions and three years of internal development.
