Salesforce ChatGPT and the Salesforce Ecosystem

Summit Blog Salesforce ChatGPT and the Salesforce Ecosystem

ChatGPT is an AI chatbot or Large Language Model developed by OpenAI, with backing from Microsoft. It uses NLP to interact with users, providing answers to questions by scanning its vast database of information obtained from millions of websites. ChatGPT presents the answers in a natural, conversational style, though accuracy may vary based on the specificity of the request.

The Salesforce ecosystem could potentially be impacted by ChatGPT, with both winners and losers. Its best use cases include creating code such as validation rules, formulas, and Apex classes, but it should not be relied upon to generate declarative results or provide accurate answers to broader scopes. Junior developers may be at risk, as ChatGPT has learned from millions of lines of code and could outperform them in writing code. It is also fair to note that Salesforce has utilized artificial intelligence since 2017.

Business analysts and consultants may find ChatGPT helpful in generating generic proposals or suggesting process steps, but should be wary of relying too heavily on its results. Architects, on the other hand, may not find much value in ChatGPT as it lacks the experience and context necessary for the role. ChatGPT may also be useful for generating first drafts of documents like training materials or business cases, but the user must specify the reasoning behind changes, which ChatGPT is incapable of knowing.

ChatGPT is essentially a content development tool, not to be confused with Salesforce Service Cloud Voice and chatbots. Read more about them here. If you currently utilize chatbots be aware of Salesforce’s My Domain changes and how they can impact them.

For marketers and other content writers, it’s important to note that LLMs like ChatGPT can amplify social biases and produce false or misleading results. This is due to the questionable data included in some of the millions of websites that it is trained on. In conclusion, ChatGPT can be a useful tool, but its results should always be validated and verified before being relied upon.enue streams.

"Easy to Work With"
Angie W.

Northwoods worked with Summit to help migrate our Microsoft Dynamics CRM system to Salesforce.  Mike and his team were extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and easy to work with.  They were able to help us configure the system to handle complex business processes while making the system easy for end users.  They were also able to migrate all our legacy Dynamics data to the new Salesforce system.  Summit helped train our technical team on Salesforce administration while keeping the project on time and under budget.  I highly recommend Summit for any Salesforce-related project.

"Mind Blowing!"
Rachael H.

As a leader of a small non-profit aimed to scale rapidly and efficiently, I knew it was critical to transition from antiquated spreadsheets to a sophisticated CRM. We dabbled in Salesforce on our own the year prior. To put it mildly, I was terrified to go there again. Mike and his team at Summit met my apprehension with confidence and reassurance. They were timely, efficient and positioned us to utilize Salesforce in ways we hadn’t imagined. Every day I’m in awe of what Salesforce can do; to Mike’s credit for imparting his wisdom. Summit has positioned us for unprecedented opportunities at Walk with a Doc. Thank you!

"BEST Salesforce Consultant Available"
Catherine Z.

We went through 3 consultants before finding Summit. The difference was night and day, and the cost was very reasonable. They helped us get our Communities up and running in less than a week (after 2 other teams essentially dragged their feet for 9 months - yes, 9 months!). We are ecstatic! We also have Managed Services with them, for a few hundred bucks a month they are our go-to for anything Salesforce. The team is INSTANTLY responsive - like within 2 minutes. I have experienced other consultants and can tell you, there is no comparison. Hire Summit!

"Did a Wonderful Job"
Paige B.

We have primarily been using Salesforce for our sales team. Recently we decided to bring our support team on and Summit did an awesome job helping us get everything set up the way we needed.

"Great Learning and Implementation"
Annette H.

Great experience with Summit. They are very knowledgeable about Salesforce and their turn around is outstanding. I am looking forward to working Part 2 of our plan with them.

"Transformation Data w/ Excellent Service"
Kay W.

The skill set and knowledge that Mike Leibrand has brought to this project far surpasses our initial expectation- especially since our initial contact with Salesforce corp. was challenged in regards to utilizing training videos to suit our scope and need. Mike has been helpful in supporting our team with a custom solution in order for us to be able to serve our community better. He is timely and professional, and eager to learn about the why before telling us the what.

"Made our Dream CRM a Reality!"
Matt S.

Mike and his team at Summit Tech made our Salesforce dream a reality. As a small non-profit on a limited budget with very specific CRM needs we were challenged to find a suitable Salesforce partner. Fortunately we were introduced to Summit Tech, and from day one they made the formidable task of implementing Salesforce doable (and even enjoyable!). Mike is a pro, from his accessibility and communication to industry knowledge and attitude, he never said 'no' to a request. When we encountered hiccups along the way he took the time to trouble shoot and make fixes, even when it was outside the original scope of the project. We didn't deviate from the project timeline or budget, which says a lot considering our custom needs for data collection/reporting, donor communication, and third party plug-ins. If you are considering implementing Salesforce or have any Salesforce needs, I highly recommend Mike and his team.
