Salesforce , the world’s #1 AI CRM, announced Agentforce 2.0: the newest version of Agentforce, the first digital labor platform for enterprises — a complete AI system for augmenting teams with trusted,?autonomous AI agents?in the flow of work. This release introduces a new library of pre-built skills and workflow integrations for rapid customization, the ability to deploy Agentforce in Slack, and advancements in agentic reasoning and?retrieval augmented generation (RAG). These advances will enable companies to scale their workforce with customized agents capable of handling complex, multi-step tasks with even more precision and accuracy.
“By leveraging Agentforce, Indeed can stay focused on its mission to help people find jobs while advancing its goals, including reducing time-to-hire by 50% and helping 30 million individuals facing barriers to employment secure jobs by fiscal year 2030.”
Why it’s relevant:?Every team has more work to do than resources available, leading to poorer customer interactions and lengthy backlogs. Organizations are turning to AI to help, but?have a low tolerance?for inadequate solutions that provide generic responses. Existing solutions such as copilots struggle to provide accurate, trusted responses to complex requests — such as personalized guidance on a job application — and cannot take action on their own — like nurturing a lead with product recommendations. Organizations need a new type of platform designed to supply digital labor in the form of autonomous AI agents that can reason over data and tap into workflows to take action on behalf of overwhelmed teams.

The holiday season is a critical time for small to midsize businesses (SMBs), as sales during this period often make up a large portion of their yearly revenue. Yet, many SMBs don’t devote extra hours or resources to preparing for the surge in holiday demand, and that lack of attention to seasonal preparations is holding them back.
According to one of our most recent surveys, 70 percent of SMBs don’t dedicate additional time to getting their websites ready for the holidays. This likely contributes to the fact that only 10 percent of their overall site traffic comes during the holiday season. With holiday shoppers increasingly buying online every year, this lack of preparation is a gap SMBs can’t afford. Fortunately, artificial intelligence (AI) tools offer an accessible way for small businesses to compete during this important season without a huge time or resource investment.
