AI Associate AI Fundamentals Practice Question
A marketing manager wants to use AI to recommend next-best actions for customers based on their previous purchases. Which Einstein feature is most appropriate?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse Einstein Prediction Builder (which outputs a prediction score) with Einstein Recommendations (which outputs a specific action or item), leading them to select Prediction Builder for a 'next-best action' scenario when it only predicts likelihoods, not suggestions.
