• Einstein Bots: New version of Service Cloud introduces pre-built Einstein Bots, which is the chatbot feature for customers to get answers to their common queries. This saves the agents time to work on resolving more complex issues.

• Visual Remote Assistant: Service teams will now get the support of a virtual remote assistant that will allow them to walk customers through solutions remotely. The agents can do so by addressing customer requests through video from anywhere in real-time.

Considering the new form of working amidst pandemic, Clara Shih, CEO of Service Cloud, said, 

“We are on the cusp of a great reopening of society, and companies know they need to move quickly to seize the moment…

While customers and companies alike are eager to return to in-person experiences, digital behaviors we learned and grew accustomed to during the pandemic are here to stay.”

All these features on Service Cloud will take digital experiences for customers a long way. It will make it easier for service teams to collaborate and engage with customers despite the distance barriers.
