Agentforce Basics

Understanding the Basics of Agentforce:

 Agentforce revolutionizes processing efficiency with its Test Center, designed to address the limitations of Agent Builder, which requires testing one interaction at a time. By leveraging batch testing via CSV uploads, you can now:

  • Upload up to 10 batches within 10 hours.
  • Test up to 200 cases per batch.

The results detail topics, actions, and responses, indicating whether they matched expected outcomes.

 Agentforce & Data Cloud:

 Agentforce introduces a Data Library to improve LLM responses. This library stores pre-processed chunks of knowledge articles or uploaded files (e.g., manuals, price lists, white papers), enabling Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG).

 Tips:

A Data Library cannot simultaneously support knowledge and file uploads.

Agentforce & Service Cloud:

  • Einstein Article Recommendations: AI uses “Knowledge” and “Closed Cases” to display knowledge articles related to the current case. To get started, you need at least 3 knowledge articles and more than 1,000 closed cases.
  • Einstein Service Replies: Generates AI-driven responses (drafts) for live chat or email, saving time for service agents.
  • Einstein Work Summaries: Predicts and fills in case summaries, issues, and resolutions.
 

Agentforce & Sales Cloud:

  • Agentforce SDR: Automates lead assignment based on predefined criteria, enabling sales representatives to efficiently manage and prioritize leads.
  • Agentforce Sales Coach: Provides personalized coaching to sales representatives through role-playing sessions and pitch analysis. Designed for coaching purposes, not for managing or prioritizing leads.
  • Call Explorer: With the Einstein-powered Call Explorer, users can quickly gain insights from calls, such as mentions of products or unresolved customer questions, by asking AI.
 

Key aspects of Agent Force:
