Book Description
Agentforce is Salesforce's next-generation framework for building autonomous AI agents that act intelligently on behalf of users. This book is your practical guide to leveraging Agentforce to create enterprise-grade agents that reason, plan, and execute across clouds. You'll begin by mastering core concepts, agent types, the Atlas Reasoning Engine, and the Einstein Trust Layer, before setting up your development environment and using Agent Builder to create your first agents. A full case study walks you through building a production-grade room booking agent, preparing you for more advanced implementations. In later chapters, you'll extend agents with Flow and Apex, build real-time intelligence using Data Cloud and semantic search, and secure your implementations. You'll then adopt DevOps practices to manage deployments, use the Command Center for performance insights, and integrate Agentforce across your enterprise landscape using MuleSoft and external services. By the end, you'll design and run robust Agentforce solutions that automate complex workflows and deliver measurable business value. *Email sign-up and proof of purchase required
