AI Agents Explained: Build a Digital Workforce That Works 24/7

It's interesting because the hardest part actually came was Mark Benioff tweeted about it and posted on LinkedIn that we were live. And he got a lot of comments after his LinkedIn and his Twitter post. And I was literally like going in reading every comment. Every day I'd get up and have my morning coffee and I'd open it to see what new comments were.

Some of them are brutal. Some of them, I honestly, I didn't feel great about my Salesforce career that first day because we had a lot, like we have a very engaged community at Salesforce.

But there was times they were asking it questions and the answer coming back wasn't a great answer. Right. And, you know, there was I'll give you one example, which is like someone had put a screenshot underneath them. They asked a question about integration with a competitor product.

There's something called the global instructions, which is like a topic. where you teach agent force the world it lives in. So you tell it you're part of Salesforce, no code, right? It's all in natural language. And you tell it, I want you to speak in this voice and tone. These are the things I don't want you to speak about.

So you can set guardrails, like maybe you don't want it to ask questions on your CEO as an example. So you put all of this inside the global instruction. So when we saw that happen, we were like, oh, crap. Jumped into our global instructions and said, do not talk about our competitors and listed every competitor. Problem solved. Great.

AgentForce didn't answer, right? Because we'd given it this strict guardrails of what not to do. So this was the learning moment for us. We went back into AgentForce and we coached it.
