The news was announced today at the Salesforce World Tour in Sydney where customers, such as Transport NSW, Australia Post, ANZ Wealth, L'Oréal, Citi Bank, Kellogg's and Vocus showcased how they are using Salesforce to create deeper, more meaningful connections with customers. At the event, Salesforce also highlighted Einstein AI, which recently became available to all customers.

Powered by advanced machine learning, deep learning, predictive analytics, natural language processing and smart data discovery, Einstein delivers intelligence directly within the context of business.
