CRM platform whose Agentforce layer builds and deploys autonomous agents across sales, service, and marketing.

Agentforce is Salesforce's agentic AI platform, the CRM leader's bid to turn its Sales, Service, Commerce, and Marketing clouds into an agentic enterprise where AI agents reason, plan, and act rather than just answer. First launched in October 2024 and now shipped as Agentforce 360, generally available since Dreamforce 2025, it is built on the Atlas Reasoning Engine, which breaks a request into subtasks, plans, and executes end to end in a reason, act, observe loop. Salesforce, a public company and the world's largest CRM vendor, says Agentforce is already live with roughly twelve thousand customers across two hundred industry workflows.

The platform's advantage is that agents sit directly on a company's customer data and workflows. Data 360, formerly Data Cloud, grounds every agent in structured and unstructured business data through retrieval with a zero copy architecture, so agents answer from live records rather than guesses. Hybrid reasoning combines deterministic workflows with flexible model reasoning, and developers define logic, guardrails, and tool use in Agent Script, an expression language that turns reasoning into governable code. Slack has been repositioned as the conversational front end, and a native voice layer brings agents to phone and IVR with SIP support and partners like Amazon Connect and Five9. The Atlas Reasoning Engine now runs on a choice of models including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini.

Trust and governance are central to the pitch: the Einstein Trust Layer handles masking, least privileged access, encryption, and audit, while observability dashboards let teams monitor reasoning, accuracy, and compliance as a continuous improvement loop, and agents escalate to humans when a problem exceeds their scope. Pricing moved to consumption based Flex Credits, roughly five hundred dollars per hundred thousand credits. For an enterprise already standardized on Salesforce that wants agents deeply wired into its CRM data and channels with strong governance, Agentforce is a category leading option; teams not on Salesforce, or wanting a lightweight standalone agent, will find it a broad platform commitment rather than a point tool.

Integrations

Connects to Salesforce CRM, external databases, and third party systems through MCP connectors, and spans Sales, Service, Commerce, and Marketing Cloud with Slack as the conversational front end. A native voice layer supports SIP and CCaaS partners including Amazon Connect, Five9, NiCE, and Vonage, and Data 360 grounds agents in structured and unstructured data.

In practice

Your service team drowns in routine cases. Agentforce agents resolve customer requests end to end across channels, grounded in live CRM data, and escalate only the complex ones to human agents, running around the clock.

You want AI wired into your actual customer records, not a bolt on chatbot. Data 360 grounds every Agentforce agent in your structured and unstructured data with zero copy retrieval, so answers reflect real accounts and cases.

You need agents you can govern and defend. Agent Script encodes logic and guardrails, the Einstein Trust Layer masks and audits data, and observability dashboards track reasoning and compliance over time.

Pricing

Consumption based Flex Credits, about five hundred dollars per one hundred thousand credits, on top of platform subscriptions

flex credits per action plus platform subscription

Public — partialHigh variable costTrial available

What is public

The Flex Credit rate, about five hundred dollars per one hundred thousand credits, is public, but underlying Salesforce platform and Customer 360 subscription pricing is quoted through sales.

Billing mechanics

Consumption based Flex Credits meter each agent action, priced by complexity, on top of Salesforce platform and Customer 360 subscriptions. Higher complexity actions consume more credits, so a chattier or more autonomous agent costs more per conversation.

Cost watchouts

Flex Credits sit on top of required Salesforce platform and cloud subscriptions, so the effective cost includes both. Complex multi step agent actions consume more credits, and voice and data features may carry their own consumption.

Variable cost rationale

Flex Credits are consumed per agent action by complexity, so cost scales directly with agent usage and volume on top of platform subscriptions.

Additional watchouts

Credit burn scales with action complexity and volume; model expected actions per conversation, not just agent count, and confirm which platform subscriptions and clouds are prerequisites.

Sales call required

Yes — required for paid access

Free / trial

Trials and pilots through sales; no public self serve free tier for production agents

Key ambiguities

The credit rate is public, but how many credits a given agent action consumes varies with complexity, and the underlying platform subscription cost is quoted through sales.
