What is Salesforce Agentforce?

Salesforce Agentforce is Salesforce's platform for building and deploying AI agents across its CRM and customer platform, suited to Salesforce customers wanting autonomous agents for service, sales and more grounded in their data. It lets organisations build and deploy AI agents that act autonomously on tasks (resolving service cases, qualifying leads, assisting sales and more), grounded in Salesforce data and metadata (via Data Cloud) and able to take actions in Salesforce, with low code tools, guardrails and governance. Salesforce's major agentic AI offering, Agentforce is a leading platform for deploying AI agents within the Salesforce ecosystem, grounded in CRM data. For agents in Salesforce, Agentforce is a leading choice.

Agentforce's distinction is deploying autonomous AI agents natively in Salesforce, grounded in CRM data. It lets agents act on real tasks across service, sales and more, grounded in your Salesforce data and able to take actions in the platform, with governance, which neutral frameworks and non Salesforce platforms do not match for Salesforce integration and CRM grounding. That native Salesforce integration and CRM grounding set it apart.

Key features

Agentforce offers native Salesforce agents. Its native Salesforce integration and CRM grounding are its defining advantages.

Ease of use and support
