# Agentforce Service (Salesforce)

Category: AI agents. Public reviews about the AI: 5. Profile updated 2026-10-08.

Salesforce's AI agents for customer service, built in Agent Builder and run inside Service Cloud.

## What it does

Agentforce agents answer customers and handle tasks within set guardrails, around the clock, across self-service portals and messaging channels [1]. Builders configure agents, subagents, actions and instructions in Agent Builder, and Agent Script adds more precise control [1]. In Service Cloud pricing, Agentforce for Service is included in the Max edition and available for purchase on Core [2].

Channels: Chat, Messaging, Voice, In-app. Works with: Runs on the Salesforce platform and Service Cloud [2]. Escalations route through an Omni-Channel flow set up in Salesforce [3].

## Handoff

When a customer asks for a person, the agent's escalation topic runs the Omni-Channel flow configured for escalation; with custom instructions, the agent can first collect details or create a case so the person receives a conversation that is "already contextualized and verified" [3]. Salesforce does not list the exact fields passed to the rep [3].

## Controls

- Testing Center runs batch tests from a CSV template or AI-generated cases, up to 1,000 cases per test, and Salesforce says to run tests in a sandbox [4]
- Topic and action filters limit when an agent can use a topic or action, based on context variables [4]
- Customer verification with a one-time passcode before protected topics [4]
- Agent versioning lets teams test updates without disrupting the active version [4]
- Builders can see an agent's planned actions and test its responses in Agent Builder [1]
- Agentforce Observability monitors agent performance in near real time; Agent Optimizer suggests tuning changes [1]

## Setup

Salesforce says Agent Builder configures agents, subagents, actions and instructions "in a few clicks" [1]. Escalation needs an Omni-Channel flow in the org [3]. No setup time is stated [1].

## Billing

Per conversation. Salesforce lists $2 per conversation for external customer agents, or Flex Credits at $500 per 100,000 credits with 20 credits per standard action and 30 per voice action [5]. Service Cloud Max ($550 per user per month, billed annually) includes Agentforce for Service and 2.75 million Flex Credits per org per year [2]. What counts: A Flex Credits action is "a specific function that an AI agent executes on the platform"; Salesforce does not define a billed conversation on its pricing page [5].

## Vendor claims (not results)

- Salesforce says over 18,000 companies run on Agentforce [1]

## Not found in public sources

- An official list of every channel the service agent supports
- The exact data passed to a human rep at handoff
