Why Agentforce 2.0 is Different
Agentforce is ready to deliver value today. Here’s how:
- Accelerated Release Schedule: With a fast-moving, feature-rich roadmap, Agentforce 2.0 ensures you’re always on the cutting edge.
- Hands-On Accessibility: Salesforce Foundations makes it easy to test use cases at no cost. Free credits allow you to experiment directly within your system, minimizing the risks of upfront investments.
- Seamless Slack Integration: Embedding solutions where employees already work is crucial. Agentforce 2.0 will be deployable in Slack, bringing customizable digital labor directly into DMs and channels where work happens. Teams can initiate conversations with Agentforce from the Agentforce Hub or @mention agents in Slack, enabling seamless collaboration in the flow of work.
- Enhanced Agent Builder for Slack: The new Slack Actions in Agent Builder, such as “Create Canvas” or “Message Channel,” will empower teams to quickly enhance existing agents or build new ones for effective engagement in Slack.
- Enterprise Search in Slack: Slack’s rich domain knowledge, reflected in DMs, channels, and Canvases, becomes a powerful resource for Agentforce. By leveraging Slack Enterprise Search, Agentforce enhances the relevancy of responses and actions, using both public and permissioned information within Slack.
- Access: You can access Agentforce in Slack with both an Agentforce and a Slack license. Agentforce in Slack will be available in 2025.
- Brain Boost – Atlas Reasoning Engine Upgrades: The Atlas Reasoning Engine empowers Agentforce to gather data and take action. With 2.0, Agentforce benefits from more powerful AI, improving its ability to answer complex questions. Using Data Cloud, Agentforce combines various data types, including business-specific details, to accurately respond to even the most challenging requests.
- Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG): RAG enhances Agentforce’s capabilities by enriching retrieved data chunks with metadata from the Salesforce Platform. Inline citations boost transparency, pointing to the exact sources used, while the platform adapts to unique business conventions for increased accuracy and trust.
More innovative features are on the way, ensuring Agentforce continues to push boundaries and redefine the future of digital labor.
Why Other Solutions Fall Short
The AI landscape is crowded, but Agentforce and its 2.0 features stand apart for several key reasons:
- Customizable and Scalable: Unlike other AI platforms that lock you into specific models, Agentforce lets you choose the best Large Language Model (LLM) for your unique needs, offering flexibility and scalability as your business grows.
- Unified with Salesforce Ecosystem: Agentforce integrates seamlessly with Salesforce’s core products, leveraging your existing customer data for faster time-to-value and smoother implementation.
- Cost and Management Efficiency: As the number of AI tools emerge, managing multiple platforms becomes costly and inefficient. Agentforce’s centralized approach streamlines integration and reduces long-term cost management.
Enhanced Trust: With inline citations and enriched context, Agentforce ensures greater accuracy and transparency, features that many competitors lack.
