Developer Keynote: Build the Future with the Platform

Notes:

        
- The history of software development is really the ongoing pursuit of higher levels of abstraction. The Salesforce platform abstracted these basic services and kept adding new ones three times a year as technology continued to evolve. The next level of abstraction is to bring all the data from all these data sources together and expose it as if it was a single data source. That's what data cloud does.

- There's been a massive shift over the last twelve months in the way that a lot of you are actually building with data cloud. The other major shift that we've seen in the last 12 to 18 months is obviously generative AI. At Salesforce we're really focused on building tools and frameworks for you as developers.

- Model builder is a tool that we introduced a couple of years ago now to help you bring predictive and sort of static models into your Salesforce orgs. We recently announced the ability for you to create your own predictive models based off of the data that sits in data cloud. Use this to identify which models may be good for you as a builder.

- In Apex we have a new models API method as part of our APIs in Apex. Each prompt can be set to use a specific model that we provide. You can execute this from anywhere, your mobile apps, your websites. This is perfect for developers wanting to build their own generative AI apps.

- Ananya is the product manager for agent force for developers. She says this is the most exciting time to be a developer within our ecosystem. All of these announcements are things that you've been looking for, she says.

- All right, thank you so much, Anania, Stefan J and Alba. We saw how to build so much with data, AI and tools. To learn more, we created that developer quest. Take your phones out and scan that QR code.
