The Emotion Engine Behind AI
Emotion Tracking Is Changing the Game
Marketers have spent years training machines to talk like people. Now they’re training them to feel like people too. Emotional AI is starting to slip into the marketing stack - showing up in customer service platforms, creative intelligence tools, and real-time analytics systems - and it’s changing how brands interpret what audiences actually mean, not just what they say. The tech can read tone, rhythm, and phrasing across massive datasets to sense emotion at scale. It’s how a system now knows when someone sounds annoyed but engaged, or when curiosity is mixed with hesitation. That level of context is becoming a competitive edge.
It’s showing up more and more because the timing’s right. Marketers have maxed out what traditional personalisation can do. After years of optimising subject lines and segmenting audiences, most teams are sitting on piles of first-party data that tell them who their customers are but not how they feel. Emotional AI closes that gap. It’s being baked into tools like Sprinklr and YouScan for social analysis, Salesforce and HubSpot for CRM, and Jasper or Typeface for content generation. These platforms are training models on millions of language samples to map emotion and tone — not just sentiment scores, but emotional fingerprints that reveal how people respond to language across cultures, demographics, and moments.
When this emotional data feeds back into campaigns, the change is noticeable. Customer replies sound less robotic. Ad copy aligns more naturally with audience tone. Service responses shift from transactional to empathetic without human rewrites. None of it feels like a scripted “we value your feedback” response — it feels like a brand that’s actually paying attention.
That ability to adapt in real time is why emotional AI is getting traction. The market is already flooded with generative tools that can produce content. What marketers need now are systems that can interpret context and adjust delivery on the fly. Emotion tracking gives them that lever. It’s not about being more human for the sake of it; it’s about keeping communication natural as automation scales.
The challenge is keeping it ethical and accurate. Emotional inference can go sideways if models are biased or trained on limited data. Still, this wave isn’t slowing down. Emotional understanding is becoming table stakes for modern marketing, and the brands building around it will set the tone (literally) for how AI connects with people next.

Salesforce Agentforce: AI That Actually Gets Work Done
Agentforce is Salesforce’s way of turning everyday workflows into automated processes powered by AI agents - the kind that handle tasks inside the platform without constant input. It’s not a chatbot or an add-on. It’s built into Salesforce to help teams cut the repetitive admin work that eats time and focus.
Because it runs on Customer 360, these agents already understand context. They know what’s in your pipeline, who your key customers are, and what needs attention next. It’s less “assistant” and more “extra pair of hands” inside your CRM.
Why It’s Gaining Traction
Agentforce fits into a broader move toward operational AI - tools that quietly manage real work behind the scenes instead of just generating more content. The agents can qualify leads, follow up on stalled deals, or trigger the next campaign step without a marketer ever touching a workflow. In service, they can sort cases or prep replies before a human steps in. For Salesforce users, it’s an easy lift: the agents live where the data already is. That blend of automation and context is why more teams are starting to test it.
Key Features
Custom AI agents: Build agents that handle repetitive tasks across sales, service, marketing, or commerce - from following up leads to closing support tickets.
Built on Customer 360: Every agent operates with full context from your Salesforce data, meaning it can act on customer history, deal stage, and campaign performance without extra setup.
Atlas reasoning engine: Each agent uses Salesforce’s Atlas engine to decide what to do next, prioritising tasks and executing multi-step workflows.
Low-code setup: Create and train agents visually using Flow, Prompt Builder, or Apex. You can customise what they do without touching code.
Einstein Trust Layer: Keeps your data secure and compliant while the agent runs - every action is auditable and permission-based.
Cross-team workflows: Agents move seamlessly between sales, marketing, and support, breaking down silos and keeping data consistent across departments.
Real-time automation: Agents can trigger emails, update CRM records, or launch next-best-action steps instantly based on live data changes.
Native integration: Because Agentforce is part of the Salesforce ecosystem, it works out of the box with tools like Slack, Marketing Cloud, and Service Cloud.Why It’s Worth Exploring
Build Your Own Marketing AI Agent
If you’ve been curious about what a custom AI marketing agent could actually look like inside your workflow, this prompt builds the blueprint. It helps you define the agent’s job, how it integrates with your existing tools, and what success looks like - all before you start building.
You are an AI systems architect helping design a marketing automation agent.
Build a detailed specification for an AI agent that will operate within the marketing workflow described below.
Context: [Briefly describe your business, audience, and marketing goals]
Tools/Systems in Use: [List your main tools — e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot, Notion, Slack, Google Ads]
Key Responsibilities: [List 3–5 things you want the agent to handle — e.g., content scheduling, ad optimisation, lead scoring, reporting]
Data Sources Available: [CRM, analytics dashboards, social data, customer feedback, etc.]
Desired Outcomes: [What success looks like — faster reporting, higher conversion rates, reduced manual tasks, etc.]
Based on this input, define:
The agent’s core purpose and primary functions
The data and APIs it should connect to
The triggers and workflows it automates
The decision logic it needs (rules, thresholds, or prioritisation)
The metrics or KPIs to track performance
Security and guardrail considerations
Optional extension ideas for future capabilities
Present the output as a clear specification document that could be shared with a technical team to build the agent.
MCP vs gRPC: The Battle for AI Agent Infrastructure
This breakdown digs into how AI agents actually talk to the tools they use. Anthropic’s new Model Context Protocol (MCP) gives agents a built-in way to discover and understand external systems - while Google’s gRPC offers the raw speed and scale of traditional microservices. The video explains why the next generation of AI agents will likely use both: MCP for context and adaptability, gRPC for performance. If you want to understand how agentic AI will plug into real workflows, this is the one to watch.
