Frequently posts about the application of AI to automate enterprise workflows, specifically Salesforce administration, configuration, and support, and the agentic future of CRM.
Intro
I'm Abhishek Eswaran, Co-Founder at Ressl AI, where we're building AI agents to automate Salesforce workflows. My journey started with internships in software engineering and research, leading to roles in automation and founding my own IT service firm before launching Ressl AI. I'm passionate about applying AI to solve enterprise challenges, especially in the Salesforce ecosystem, and I hold strong opinions on why Salesforce is poised to win the agentic CRM race. I'm actively looking to connect with Salesforce professionals, potential hires, and early-stage founders to demo our product, understand pain points, and build a network of innovators. I value self-driven teammates and believe speed is the ultimate competitive advantage in today's AI landscape.

- Speed is the only true moat in the intelligence era
- The era of blogs and keyword-based SEO is over and that Reddit threads and niche discussions are the new SEO surface area for AI-driven search
