How is Agentforce different from Einstein Copilot?

Einstein Copilot assists users in the flow of work. It responds when prompted and helps a person complete tasks. Agentforce operates more autonomously. It can initiate and complete defined workflows within guardrails, escalating to humans when approvals or exceptions are required.

What are the best Agentforce use cases to start with?

The best starting use cases are narrow, measurable, and tied to an existing workflow. Common quick wins: Tier 1 service request deflection Inbound lead follow-up and qualification Meeting summaries and CRM updates Renewal preparation and reminder workflows

How does Salesforce Agentforce shift how CRM works?

Agentforce represents a shift in CRM from assistance to execution . Rather than simply helping users interpret data or draft responses, Agentforce introduces autonomous agents that can plan next steps and take action within defined guardrails. This allows CRM systems to participate directly in day-to-day operations, moving work forward instead of waiting on manual follow-through. Agentforce is ushering in a new era of AI-driven execution inside Salesforce, where organizations can automate repeatable workflows, reduce operational friction, and operate with greater speed and consistency across sales, service, marketing, and commerce.

Is Agentforce secure for enterprise teams?

Agentforce operates within enterprise controls such as role-based access, scoped permissions, approvals, and auditability. Security and trust come down to implementation: define clear guardrails, restrict access to only what's needed, and test thoroughly before moving to production.

How long does an Agentforce pilot take?

A focused Agentforce pilot can often be scoped and launched in a short timeframe when the use case is narrow and well-defined, the required data is available and trusted, and guardrails and escalation paths are clear. Summit can help you assess readiness and map a realistic pilot plan based on your Salesforce environment and goals.
