Businesses today rely on AI-powered assistants to help customers quickly. But not all AI tools are the same. One of the biggest questions we get is:
How is Agentforce different from a traditional chatbot?
The short answer? Agentforce is much smarter.
Let’s break it down.
Chatbots have been around for a while. They follow predefined rules and scripted responses to answer customer questions.
Chatbots are great for:
✅ Answering frequently asked questions
✅ Giving basic information
✅ Guiding customers through a fixed process
But they don’t understand context and can’t adapt to different customer needs. If a customer asks something outside of the chatbot’s script, it gets stuck.
“Traditional chatbots follow a script and work in a linear way. They can answer basic questions but don’t go beyond that.” – Hannah Watkins, SOLVD Consultant
Agentforce is not just a chatbot—it’s an AI assistant powered by a Large Language Model (LLM). This means it can:
✅ Process and analyze information instead of just following a script
✅ Understand complex questions and provide personalized answers
✅ Troubleshoot issues and learn from interactions
Agentforce isn’t just about answering questions—it actually helps customers solve problems faster.
“Agentforce can provide a much more personalized experience and is grounded in your unique data.” – Hannah Watkins, SOLVD Consultant
Because Agentforce learns and adapts, it helps businesses:
✔ Reduce response time – Customers get answers faster.
✔ Increase satisfaction – No more frustrating dead ends.
✔ Handle complex problems – AI can think beyond simple scripts.
“Agentforce can significantly increase customer satisfaction and provide a better user experience.” – Hannah Watkins, SOLVD Consultant
At SOLVD, we help businesses set up Agentforce so they can provide faster, smarter, and more personalized customer support.

From my initial call with Spencer through project implementation with John and Evan, my experience with the SOLVD team was excellent. They were quick to understand our business needs, clear when explaining the reasoning behind proposed solutions, transparent when reporting on progress and timeline, and all around enjoyable to work with. Would highly recommend and looking forward to continue working with them in the future!
SOLVD was very straight forward with everything needed to complete the project. No surprises, no issues, and cost was aligned with the estimate. They made implementation easy and quick.
As a rule, I'm pretty stingy with my recommendations. So it's a pleasure for me to recommend Solvd as a top-flight Salesforce consultancy. Solvd recently led our company's conversion to the Lightning interface and did it on time, on budget and made it easy for me and my team. I know I'll use their services again, and am confident they can do the same for you.
