Worked example

scenario · real-world use

The admin at BrightWave Marketing browses Intelligent Apps in Setup and discovers an AI-powered lead routing app. The app uses Einstein to analyze incoming leads and route them to the sales rep most likely to convert them based on historical win patterns, rep expertise, and current workload. She installs the app and sees a 15% improvement in lead conversion rates.

Why Intelligent Apps is the catalog of AI-enhanced products in your Salesforce footprint

Salesforce's AI investments - Einstein, Agentforce, Data Cloud's segmentation engine, the dozens of cloud-specific intelligent features - show up in many places in the platform. Intelligent Apps is the Setup catalog where the AI-enabled applications available to your org are listed, surfacing what's installed, what's available, and how to enable each. For an admin trying to understand the AI capabilities available without reading every release-notes page, this is the consolidated view.

The reason it's worth knowing about even if you don't immediately enable everything is that the AI catalog evolves rapidly. A capability that wasn't relevant six months ago may be a major adoption opportunity this quarter. Browse the Intelligent Apps page during each release cycle, evaluate the new entries, and treat each as a potential project - most won't be worth pursuing immediately, but the ones that are tend to compound rapidly when adopted early.
