write a poem about a horse and now generate a movie of a horse running through a meadow for me and i can do all the above fundamentally it's generating new answers yeah it's generating new content versus new predictions about the data

Yeah. Predictive AI literally is predicting the data in the future. Generative AI is generating the content that you asked it to generate.

It can create the essay. It can create the document. It can create the doctoral thesis. It can create the movie. It can create the poem. It can create anything. And so now the AI can not only read the data, but it can understand the semantic meaning of what's being said, whether you're texting with it or talking with it or interacting with it across any of these modalities.

So that's the big unlock because now it's working like the human brain where it literally understands and then it can take action just like people do.

So an AI agent has a specific role. Maybe it's a customer service agent, or maybe it's a sales agent, or maybe it's a marketing agent that launches marketing campaigns for your company, or maybe it's an e-commerce agent that helps customers buy the right products on your e-commerce website. This gets to the higher level, sort of next level capabilities of the AI.

So we talked about how the generative AI can create words or sentence or documents. We talked about how it's multimodal. So now it can create images or videos, or it can do any combination thereof. Now, the next level of AI intelligence is what they call reasoning intelligence.

And many of the companies, OpenAI, and we built our own reasoning engine, which we call Atlas, where it can not only create the next word or the next sentence, but it can literally understand the semantic meaning of what's going on. So you and I are having a conversation right now, and billions of neurons in our brain are processing this data.

And then I'm understanding what you're saying, and you're understanding what I'm saying. Well, now the AI can start to do that too, which is really quite remarkable. So based on this generative technology, you can build reasoning engines that allow the AI to do very specific things for you.

And that's where, you know, really there's the aha moment in AI, where AI can do more than autocomplete sentences. It can, in fact, do things that humans can do. Can you give some examples? I'd be happy to. We at Salesforce think that AI agents are truly the next big part of this generative AI revolution. So we talked about predictive. We talked about generative.

We think AI agents are what they call agentic behavior is really the current trend. phase of AI that we think is taking off right now before our eyes. And so I'll give an example. We had Saks Fifth Ave as our keynote customer and our main presentation at Dreamforce. So Dreamforce is our annual technology conference. It's one of the largest technology conferences in the world.
