Einstein Analytics Stories and Prediction Builder both provide predictive capabilities within Salesforce, but have some key differences:
- Einstein Analytics Stories allows for more in-depth data insights and model visibility, while Prediction Builder focuses on rapid predictions within Salesforce objects.
- Einstein Analytics Stories supports both numeric and classification predictions across internal and external data, while Prediction Builder is limited to Salesforce data.
- Einstein Analytics Stories provides predictive stories and insights into why predictions were made, while Prediction Builder only shows high-level accuracy metrics and impacting factors.
- Einstein Analytics Stories is configured by data analysts, while Prediction Builder is aimed at Salesforce administrators for simple setup.

21. An example of Einstein Analytics Stories…
Retaining and growing accounts
23. Analytics needn’t just be about reporting and the management of past behaviours
Analytics should also:
• Understand customer data and customer engagement
• Deliver intelligent support to decision-making
• Be used at the point of interaction with customers or end users
• Look forwards not just backwards
Resulting in:
• A more responsive and intelligent view of all data and actions leading to more informed decisions
and better experiences
Extracting value from data and fueling better decisions

27. Crikey, I think I got that, but remind me what are
the difference between Einstein Analytics Stories
and Prediction Builder?
28. General
o Business-analyst centric tool for gaining full
understanding of data insights: Discover!
o Create predictions with the obtained model
o Input / training data: EA datasets
o Fine-grain visibility on model accuracy
o Rapid point & click approach to generating
predictions on force.com objects: Predict fast!
o See a few high level impacting factors on what
drives the predictions
o Input / training data: force.com data
o Limited visibility on model accuracy
Einstein Discovery Einstein Prediction Builder
29. Predictive capabilities
o Numeric predictions (regression)
o Predicted LTV, Predicted CSAT etc.
o Likelihood of yes/no questions (binary
classification)
o Churn, conversion propensity, escalation etc.
o Piece Generalize Linear Regression with dummy
variables using Ridge Kernels
o No auto-feature engineering, field selection
controlled by users
o Numeric predictions (regression)
o Predicted LTV, Predicted CSAT etc.
o Likelihood of yes/no questions (binary
classification)
o Churn, conversion propensity, escalation etc.
o Regression models, Random forests, Naive
bayes..,
o Auto-feature engineering

31. Data Sources & Deployment
o Internal & External Data, Multiple Objects
o Manual data set creation / preparation
o Get Record based predictions in force.com

o Possibility of (near) real time
o Manual data refresh / retrain
o Setup by “Data analyst” & Admin
o SF Internal data only, Single object
o Directly from org, pick fields & apply filters
o Get Record based predictions in force.com
o Automatically
o A-synchronous (every hour)
o Automatic data refresh/ retrain
o Setup by Salesforce Admin
Einstein Discovery Einstein Prediction Builder
32. Security, Data residency & Encrypted fields
o Running on Core data centers
o Encryption in transit and at rest
o Manual salesforce connection, include
encrypted fields if wanted
o Customer decides on input fields and can
decide to leave out data such as PII data
o No FLS applied to impacting factors
o Running on AWS in the US
o Connection between Salesforce Core and AWS
managed by Salesforce
o Encryption in transit and at rest
o No access to encrypted fields, encrypted fields
are not part of the model
