Salesforce AI has evolved rapidly, and today two names often come up when teams plan automation and customer support solutions: Agentforce and Einstein Bots. While both aim to improve productivity and customer experience, they are built for very different needs. Let’s break it down simply.
What is Agentforce?
Agentforce is Salesforce’s next-generation AI assistant powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) and deeply grounded in Salesforce CRM data. It is designed for internal users (agents, reps) and even external users, acting like a smart digital coworker.
Key highlights of Agentforce:
Uses LLMs + Salesforce data grounding
Can be quickly built and configured with minimal manual training
Understands natural language and context
Personalized to each agent or rep’s data
Works across chat, email, voice, and more
Automates workflows across Service, Sales, and Marketing Clouds
👉 Because Agentforce uses LLMs, it can reason, summarize, and respond intelligently out of the box, making implementation much faster.
What are Einstein Bots?
Einstein Bots are primarily rule-based, intent-driven chatbots built for external customers, especially in Service Cloud.
Key highlights of Einstein Bots:
Designed mainly for customer-facing chatbots
Based on predefined intents, dialogs, and flows
Requires manual training and configuration
Limited to scripted responses
Best for handling repetitive FAQs and simple requests
👉 Bots must be trained manually, with admins defining intents, utterances, and conversation paths, which takes more setup time.
Which One Should You Choose?
✅ Choose Agentforce if you want:
Faster AI implementation
Intelligent, conversational assistance
AI that understands CRM data deeply
Support for agents, sales reps, and complex workflows
✅ Choose Einstein Bots if you want:
