Introducing Salesforce Agentforce: A New Era of Customer Engagement
Salesforce, the world’s leading AI CRM, today announced the Salesforce Agentforce, a ground-breaking suite of autonomous AI agents that supplement workers and handle duties in service, sales, marketing, and commerce, resulting in remarkable efficiency and customer satisfaction. Agentforce enables businesses to increase their workforces on demand with just a few clicks.
Agentforce’s limitless digital workforce of AI agents can evaluate data, make decisions, and take action on activities such as customer service inquiries, sales lead qualification, and marketing campaign optimization. Any business can effortlessly create, develop, and deploy agents for any use case across any industry. These AI agents represent the future—and the future is here.
Salesforce Ambition
Our objective is ambitious: to empower one billion agents with Agentforce by the end of 2025. “This is what AI is supposed to be.”
MARC BENIOFF, CEO & CO-FOUNDER, SALESFORCE
Salesforce Agentforce represents the Third Wave of AI, moving beyond copilots to a new era of highly accurate, low-hallucination intelligent agents that actively drive customer satisfaction. Unlike other platforms, Agentforce is a breakthrough, trusted solution that integrates AI seamlessly across all workflows, firmly rooted in the core of the customer journey.
“This includes anticipating needs, building connections, driving growth, and taking decisive action at every touchpoint,” Benioff continued. “While others require you to build your own AI, Agentforce provides a fully customized, enterprise-ready platform built for quick impact and scalability.”
Agentforce offers extensive security features, adherence to industry standards, and unparalleled flexibility. It relieves overworked teams by scaling capacity on demand, allowing humans to focus on higher-value, strategic outcomes.
In contrast to now-outdated copilots and chatbots that rely on human requests and struggle with complex or multi-step tasks, Agentforce provides a new level of sophistication by operating autonomously, retrieving the right data on demand, creating action plans for any task, and carrying them out without the need for human intervention.
Why Salesforce Agentforce Matters
According to the Salesforce Trends in AI Report, an estimated 41% of employee time is spent on repetitive, low-impact tasks, and 65% of desk workers believe generative AI will help them be more strategic. Every organization faces a growing number of tasks, and many of them remain unattended or incomplete. Agentforce empowers businesses to compete in a constantly changing world by enabling a hybrid workforce of humans and AI agents.
As a result, many jobs remain unattended or incomplete. It relieves overworked teams by scaling capacity on demand, allowing humans to focus on higher-touch, higher-value, and more strategic outcomes. The future of work is a hybrid workforce made up of humans and agents, allowing businesses to compete in a constantly changing world.

Data
The Salesforce Platform, with Data Cloud at its core, enables Agentforce and all Salesforce apps to provide seamless, AI-powered experiences at the touchpoints. Data Cloud synchronizes and unifies all customer data and metadata across systems in real-time, allowing Agentforce to function with complete context and accuracy.
AI
The all-new Atlas Reasoning Engine powers Agentforce. It is based on a proprietary technology intended to imitate how humans think and plan. It begins by analyzing user searches and improving them for clarity and relevancy. It retrieves the most relevant facts and creates a strategy for execution.
Automation
Salesforce Agentforce interacts smoothly with Salesforce’s existing automation features, including extensive connection with MuleSoft. Customers may simply extend the capabilities of Agentforce using Salesforce Flow, MuleSoft, and Apex methods by tapping into pre-built and optimized workflows and actions. They can also use these familiar basic components to design new Agentforce automations.
Out of the Box Autonomous Agents
Agentforce’s out-of-the-box agents are simple to customize and deploy using clicks rather than coding. They take minutes to set up, are readily scalable, and function 24 hours a day, seven days a week on any channel.
