Einstein for Developers

Your Salesforce developers now have AI copilots of their own. These copilots catch bugs, explain logic, and help build better code, faster.

Salesforce Code Analyzer

With this tool, you can scan large amounts of Apex code, catch potential bugs, fix runtime efficiency errors, and identify security vulnerabilities early in the development process. Let your development team feel empowered with actionable insights, leading to smarter decision-making and code refinement.

When to use: Use this tool when you're building or reviewing Apex code and want to ensure security, efficiency, and quality before deployment.

Code Explanations

With Code Explanations, you get in-depth explanations for Apex and LWC on code structure, logic, and more. This helps bridge the gap between complex code and clear comprehension by providing detailed insights directly within Code Builder and VS Code.

When to use: This tool is useful when your developers are onboarding, debugging, or collaborating, and need clear explanations of existing or unfamiliar code.

Einstein for Flow

Your Salesforce admins can now use AI to build faster, smarter, and more reliable automations without any coding. Einstein for Flow helps generate flows, recommend optimizations, and prevent common configuration errors.

You can generate entire flows with natural language prompts, get real-time recommendations for improving flow logic, and avoid misconfigurations that lead to automation issues. Einstein for Flow brings intelligent suggestions and streamlined building to Salesforce automation.

When to use: Go with Einstein for Flow is you're creating or modifying flows and want to speed up the process while improving reliability and performance with AI-powered guidance.

How we see it

AI is becoming a sort of teammate for Salesforce developers and admins. We don’t think it should be a replacement for these roles, but rather an assistant to them.

Tools like Code Analyzer and Einstein for Flow save time, yes. But they also improve accuracy, reduce technical debt, and make it easier to onboard new team members.

At Modelit, we’re especially excited about how accessible these tools are right from the environments teams already use, like Code Builder and Flow Builder. By embedding AI into existing workflows, Salesforce is allowing technical teams to scale their impact without slowing down.

As AI continues to evolve, we believe these tools will only get more intuitive, helping organizations ship better automations, integrations, and customizations with less risk and more confidence.

Summary

Salesforce AI is accelerating the work of the teams behind the scenes. Whether it’s for writing Apex, reviewing LWC, or managing business automation, AI tools for developers and admins help your business ship faster and smarter.
