Our Take on Agentforce—Is it Right for Your Business?

Table of Contents

Salesforce has long been one of the biggest players in the business systems and automation space. And many of the companies we work with rely on Salesforce to power their operations. That’s why we keep a close eye on Salesforce’s new offerings—to stay up-to-date with the latest tools that could help our clients better reach their goals.

Salesforce’s latest tool Agentforce, is an exciting addition to the lineup. Designed to bring AI-driven automation into everyday operations, Agentforce introduces the ability to create autonomous agents that handle your repetitive tasks and improve business-wide workflows.

While it’s certainly not the first AI-based, automation-powered tool to hit the market recently, it has the potential to be a valuable tool for businesses already invested in Salesforce’s ecosystem—especially those looking to scale operations or free up their teams for more strategic priorities.

What is Agentforce?

Agentforce is Salesforce’s platform for building and deploying customized AI agents that can complete a wide range of tasks across a variety of business functions. These proactive agents can autonomously respond to customer questions, help manage your leads, and complete complex workflows entirely on their own.

What makes Agentforce particularly powerful is that it seamlessly integrates with other Salesforce tools like Flows, Prompts, Apex, and MuleSoft APIs. It’s easy for businesses to adopt and customize to their platform using the tools and APIs they already have in place. 

Agentforce is built on Salesforce’s Einstein Trust Layer, which protects your sensitive customer and business data, keeps your tools compliant, and maintains security—all critical considerations for our clients in regulated industries. 

Core features of Agentforce

What makes Agentforce interesting isn’t just what it does, but how it does it. The platform is flexible, highly functional, and extremely secure—all while integrating seamlessly into your existing Salesforce infrastructure. 

These features make Agentforce a smart tool for busy teams:

  • Human-like reasoning capabilities: Agentforce autonomously analyses data, makes decisions, completes tasks, and acts with human-like precision.

  • Dynamic task execution: Agents can break down big tasks into smaller components and reevaluate at each step of the process, adapting their behavior as the situation changes.

  • Data Cloud integration: Agentforce easily integrates with Data Cloud to give agents real-time data, like company knowledge articles and CRM information.

  • Endless customization options: Businesses can design AI agents tailored to their specific workflows, whether it’s automating ticket resolutions, routing leads, or optimizing internal processes.

These features are just a few of the incredible capabilities Agentforce offers, but the best benefits come when it’s adapted to fit your team and workflow. 

We recommend Agentforce for these use cases:

Agentforce isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, but for the right businesses, it can have a massive impact on your productivity.

For smaller teams, Agentforce offers a way to scale your operations without adding to your headcount. It automates repetitive tasks like data entry, responding to common customer questions, or more advanced lead management—allowing lean teams to focus on strategic priorities without getting bogged down in the details.

We expect customer-facing teams to see significant benefits from Agentforce as well. Because Agentforce can handle customer inquiries in real time, it drastically reduces your response times. That improves customer experience and can help with satisfaction and retention over time—and is particularly valuable for businesses that manage a high volume of support tickets or customer inquiries. 

Even larger organizations with complex workflows may find Agentforce helpful for streamlining operations across departments. By automating handoffs between sales and marketing, leveraging customer data to personalize experiences, or streamlining your repetitive workflows, Agentforce can be the ultimate virtual assistant that works around the clock.
