What’s New in AgentForce 2.0?
1. Seamless Integration with Slack
Slack is where teams work, collaborate, and get things done. With Agentforce 2.0, your AI-powered agents operate directly in Slack, enabling proactive collaboration:
- Build onboarding agents to guide new employees.
- Use agents to summarize meetings, create workflows, or update canvases.
- Automate repetitive tasks and escalate complex issues to humans when needed.
- Proactively collaborate with humans in real-time, enhancing team productivity.
2. Agents That Take Proactive Action
Unlike traditional “co-pilots,” which are purely reactive, Agentforce 2.0 is proactive. Agents anticipate needs, resolve issues, and take action automatically, freeing up human workers for higher-value tasks.
- Trigger workflows across Salesforce and external systems.
- Solve issues before they escalate, such as handling support tickets or scheduling follow-ups.
- Process applications and analyze data autonomously.
3. Extend Beyond CRM
Agentforce 2.0 isn’t limited to CRM—it connects with any workflow or team:
- Integrate with ERPs like SAP, Workday, or custom APIs using MuleSoft.
- Automate finance, HR, and operations tasks beyond sales and service.
- Empower Tableau users with agent-driven analytics for deeper insights.
Whether it’s processing refunds, scheduling appointments, or managing recruiting workflows, Agentforce can tackle tasks across the enterprise.
4. Trust & Accuracy with Atlas Reasoning Engine
The upgraded Atlas Reasoning Engine ensures Agentforce delivers accurate, explainable, and reliable outcomes:
- Advanced multi-step reasoning for complex tasks.
- Deep integration with Data Cloud for structured and unstructured data.
- Auditable results, built-in governance, and real-time accuracy checks.
With trust as a core Salesforce value, your data remains secure and private—your data is not Salesforce’s product.
5. AI-Generated Skills
AgentForce 2.0 introduces the ability to automatically generate new skills:
- Simply describe the desired task in natural language, and agents will build the necessary workflows.
- Combine pre-built Salesforce skills with custom-generated ones to address any use case.
6. Testing Center for Agent Reliability
A new Testing Center ensures agents remain accurate, compliant, and trustworthy:
- Test for accuracy, latency, and adherence to policies.
