Agentforce for Service

Quickly scale 24/7 Agentforce support with prebuilt topics and actions across use cases. Seamlessly integrate agentic support into your portal to handle topics including order inquiries, online bookings, account management, and more. For example, Agentforce can look up a recent order using the customer’s authenticated data, then use the order number to check the delivery status on their behalf.

Agent Builder is the low-code builder for Agentforce. Users can tap into existing tools like Flows, prompt templates, Apex, and APIs to configure their AI agent for the self-service portal or help center. Setup is simple: Create a job to be done by the AI agent by defining topics, giving natural language instructions for that topic, and creating a library of actions for it to choose from. Easily monitor an AI agent’s plan of action and test its responses right in Agent Builder.

The Atlas Reasoning Engine is the brain of Agentforce. Users can equip AI agents to respond naturally and adapt to situations so they're faster, more multi-turn, and more capable. Increase their accuracy with topics, which classify requests into a specific category with a defined scope and rules, including which actions an AI agent can and cannot take.

Testing Agentforce is different from testing regular software, because the responses can change depending on the situation. With Testing Center, teams can use AI to generate hundreds of sample interactions and automatically run tests to see how Agentforce takes action. Instead of manually checking each scenario, teams can spot patterns and make improvements faster by tweaking the AI’s instructions. Testing Center also helps make sure the AI stays on track — checking that its answers are accurate and appropriate, even at large scale.
