Key Takeaways

Agentforce ≠ Chatbots or Traditional Automation

?? Autonomous, multi-step AI agents

?? Powered by reasoning and large language models (LLMs)

?? Can pull knowledge from Salesforce, EMRs, Data Lakes, and third-party systems

?? No need to pre-program every step - agents decide actions dynamically

“Agentforce leverages everything you’ve built - flows, integrations, data - and automates with intelligence, not just rules.”

Where Should You Start? – Use Cases That Deliver Immediate Value

?? Healthcare & Life Sciences: Automate patient intake, pre-visit questionnaires, care plan generation

?? Contact Centers: Reduce agent workload by handling multi-step queries

?? Claims & Billing: Process large datasets, validate claims, recommend next actions

Example - A population health company deployed internal Agentforce agents to automate case analysis - saving time, improving accuracy, and allowing staff to serve more patients.

Agentforce Benefits for HLS & Regulated Industries

?? Built-in Einstein Trust Layer ensures HIPAA compliance and data privacy

?? Zero Data Retention policy with external LLM vendors

?? Native toxicity and bias checks for every response

?? Out-of-the-box actions, templates, and pre-built knowledge bases

“Agentforce isn’t just scalable - it’s secure, compliant, and designed for industries where trust is non-negotiable.”

Best Practices – What Makes Agentforce Deployments Successful

?? Integrate with your existing data systems and EMRs - Agentforce can access external data

?? Leverage Salesforce’s templates and no-code tools - you don’t have to start from scratch
