Will AI replace Sales Engineers?

Why this score

AI is already handling core sales engineering tasks like generating product demos, drafting technical proposals, and answering RFP questions from knowledge bases. The economic incentive for companies to automate your role is high — your compensation is substantial, and AI tools can now replicate much of the technical translation work you do between product teams and buyers. The parts of your job that involve reading a room during a live proof-of-concept, designing custom architectures on a whiteboard with a prospect's IT team, and managing politically complex multi-stakeholder deals remain hard to automate today. The question is whether your employer sees you as the person who orchestrates those moments — or as the person who builds slide decks and demo environments that AI can now generate.
