They are always on, available to take action any time of day or night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, agents can identify potential customers in your pipeline and autonomously reach out with personalised emails. Then, they can follow up, answer specific questions, and schedule an intro meeting with a prepared agenda.\u00a0 Agents can interact directly with customers to answer questions, resolve cases, and act as personal shoppers across ecommerce channels.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agentforce is CRM built for the AI era, making companies faster and more efficient. If you\u2019re looking for increased productivity and better customer relationships, read on to learn more about Agentforce.

These autonomous agents work side-by-side with employees to take action across CRM apps for every department, and to interact with customers directly at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agentforce acts autonomously to identify what work needs to be done, build a plan to complete the work, and then execute the plan. Agents use your existing customer and business data to make decisions, so their plans and responses are relevant to the specific needs of your company and customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our agents perform tasks all on their own and adapt based on what they learn from real-time data. And it all happens within the predetermined guardrails set by your business, and with total transparency from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/agentforce\/what-is-a-reasoning-engine\/atlas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Atlas Reasoning Engine<\/a>, which provides step-by-step explanations behind each action. Agents can interact with customers using natural conversational language to resolve issues (and escalate to a human if needed) and proactively reach out to sales leads to discuss your business and book appointments. They can also engage with shoppers to make recommendations and plan marketing initiatives that they can continually optimise based on campaign performance and KPIs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salesforce owns Slack, the employee chat and collaboration tool, and has developed agents that work within that platform, too. With Agentforce, Slack users can quickly get IT help, recalculate a proposal, or generate a competitive intelligence report.

With&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/mulesoft\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MuleSoft<\/a>, our platform also integrates seamlessly with non-Salesforce systems. Mulesoft lets IT teams do everything in one place: integrating data and systems, automating workflows and processes, and creating incredible digital experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, data is the fuel of modern business, but managing it can be challenging. The average enterprise scatters customer data across nearly 900 applications, and tries to connect them with a mish-mash of quick fixes. But with Data Cloud, you can access and harmonise any data \u2014 web, mobile,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/mulesoft\/anypoint-platform\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">API<\/a>, and even real-time \u2014 so your teams have a complete picture of customers and their histories on one secure platform. These profiles give you a holistic view of all your structured data (like the information in your CRM apps) as well as unstructured data (information pulled from emails, PDFs, and data lakes), which can be unlocked and integrated into a single unified profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data Cloud keeps your data secure with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/blog\/zero-copy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">zero copy integration<\/a>, pulling everything into unified profiles without copying or moving it. This lowers costs, ensures you\u2019re working with real-time information, and that there are no errors due to data movement. When you unify and automate millions of data points, you create a seamless experience that builds trust with customers&nbsp; \u2014 and your clean data clears a runway for AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/agentforce\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Agentforce<\/a>\u00a0helps you create personalised customer content, answer customers questions, and even write code. You can build and customise agents that provide always-on support to employees and customers. Equipped with your business data, and using\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/artificial-intelligence\/what-is-conversational-ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">conversational AI,<\/a>\u00a0agents use a deep knowledge of your business to act within your predefined boundaries. Every piece of generated content \u2014 like a marketing email, product description, or customer service chat \u2014 is optimised for performance as Agentforce continuously learns from incoming data and analyzes the content and interactions that perform best.

They are building an agent-first recruiting system that automates candidate shortlisting and initial outreach. This intelligent assistance will help recruiters quickly find the right talent for their roles \u2014&nbsp;maintaining their advantage in the competitive staffing industry, without losing the human touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLooking for a job is one of the most emotional, stressful times of anyone\u2019s life, right?\u201d said Greg Shewmaker, senior vice president of global operations and AI for the Adecco Group. \u201cWhen you never hear back, you start to question your self-worth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Autonomous agents will step in to unlock resume data and identify the best candidates right away. They will also keep candidates informed when they aren\u2019t a match, suggesting other opportunities that may be a better fit. This helps build relationships with job seekers while also finding the best fit for clients\u2019 open roles. \u201cWe can move from a one-to-one relationship with candidates to connecting with millions while maintaining the human touch,\u201d said Denis Machuel, CEO of the Adecco Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unifying their information with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/data\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Data Cloud<\/a>&nbsp;and combining 40+ Salesforce instances with other third-party systems via&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mulesoft.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mulesoft<\/a>, the Adecco Group is also creating comprehensive profiles of each candidate and customer that let them gain actionable insights from around the world at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By adding\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/artificial-intelligence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Salesforce AI<\/a>, they\u2019ll supercharge their\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/sales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sales Cloud<\/a>\u00a0capabilities to automate the repetitive process of taking call notes, creating reports, and adding orders. Then\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/ap\/marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Marketing Cloud<\/a>\u00a0will use agents to perform the order generation process.
