This might take the shape of an agent that helps your customers on an external-facing website or an internal agent that helps employees with their tasks. For example, let\u2019s say you\u2019re meeting with a customer for dinner but aren\u2019t sure what your company\u2019s expense policy covers. An employee agent can quickly comb through corporate policy documentation to let you know how much you\u2019re allowed to spend or whether alcohol is reimbursable. It might even remind you to create an expense entry when you return from dinner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An agent built for customers behaves in a similar way, helping to resolve basic issues. Imagine an airline customer requesting information about a ticket cancellation policy. Maybe the customer is a loyalty member. An agent can skim through knowledge articles and access CRM records to provide the correct cancellation details based on the customer\u2019s status or remind them to use their airline credit within a specified amount of time.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d2939c63991&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d2939c63991\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-04-at-3.22.02\u202fPM.png?w=1513\" alt=\"A chat window shows a simple information retrieval example.\n\" class=\"wp-image-110513\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Level 1 agents can retrieve information and make recommendations.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While these use cases might sound simple, Level 1 agents deliver tremendous business value and lay the foundation for more sophisticated deployments later on. This is the stage where companies define their overarching AI strategy, establish governance and guardrails and begin connecting together multiple data sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">At Level 1, your agent is using the Atlas Reasoning Engine to understand and classify user intent and to retrieve the data required to answer the user\u2019s question.

Building on the information-retrieval and recommendation capabilities of Level 1, a Level 2 agent has the ability to act on the data it finds and autonomously execute low-complexity tasks. At Level 2, your agent can begin to orchestrate actions, such as summarising an account record or cancelling a flight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s revisit the airline example. Our Level 1 agent was able to answer questions about the ticket cancellation policy and confirm the customer\u2019s loyalty status, but we still need to process the cancellation and book an alternate flight. Fortunately, a Level 2 agent can act. Rather than merely pulling from static knowledge articles, it can connect directly to the airline\u2019s booking system via API and book a new ticket for our customer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d2939c64799&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d2939c64799\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-04-at-3.22.31\u202fPM.png?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"A diagram illustrates a simple orchestration, single domain process.\n\" class=\"wp-image-110514\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Level 2 agents can execute actions within a single domain.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Behind the scenes, companies at Level 2 agentic maturity are focused on scaling\u2014mapping their AI strategy against key business objectives and implementing company-wide AI literacy efforts. At this stage, formal governance and well-defined security and privacy guardrails are essential as agents continue to gain more access and autonomy, laying the groundwork for Level 3 maturity.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-level-3-complex-orchestration-multiple-domain\"><strong>Level 3: Complex orchestration, multiple domain<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If Level 2 is about executing simple actions, Level 3 is where we get to start throwing true complexity at our agents. A Level 3 agent delivers concierge-level service, orchestrating end-to-end workflows with harmonised data across multiple domains. These agents can reason autonomously, determine the next best course of action and put their plan into motion\u2014all without direct human intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our airline example, the Level 2 agent was able to process a ticket cancellation and even book a new flight. But as any well-travelled flyer will quickly point out, this workflow stops just short of (arguably) the most important step: seat selection! Let\u2019s check out the example below:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d2939c65936&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d2939c65936\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/Screenshot-2025-04-04-at-3.22.40\u202fPM.png?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"A diagram shows a complex orchestration example with expanded security and governance.\n\" class=\"wp-image-110515\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Level 3 agents can orchestrate end-to-end workflows.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since our agent already has access to the customer\u2019s CRM record, it can see that they typically upgrade their seat to premium. Based on that information, the agent proactively offers an aisle seat upgrade. It\u2019s important to note that the seat upsell is dynamically \u201ctriggered\u201d by the customer\u2019s unique CRM data. Let\u2019s imagine instead that the customer record indicates a preference for transiting through Chicago O\u2019Hare International Airport. The same event-triggered functionality would offer to route the flight accordingly as long as there\u2019s availability.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the agent isn\u2019t finished yet\u2014we still need to bill the customer for their seat upgrade. Unlike Level 2, which was bound to a single domain (bookings), a Level 3 agent is able to straddle multiple systems, including billing, to complete the transaction. Of course, with additional access comes more stringent safeguards. In the example above, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/artificial-intelligence\/trusted-ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Einstein Trust layer<\/a> automatically applies data masking to hide the customer\u2019s credit card number.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Level 3 maturity represents the upper bound of agentic sophistication currently running in production, but we can take a peek into the future to see what Level 4 might look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-level-4-multi-agent-orchestration\"><strong>Level 4: Multi-agent orchestration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Level 4 maturity envisions a bustling ecosystem of AI agents seamlessly connecting to other agents across disparate tech stacks. The first thing to understand about this stage of agentic maturity is that so far, no one has got there. In large part, that\u2019s because the open standards needed to make this a reality have only <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.googleblog.com\/en\/a2a-a-new-era-of-agent-interoperability\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recently<\/a> begun to take shape.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To imagine what this could look like, let\u2019s go back to our airline example.
