Digital Support for Government Employees
With Agentforce, government agencies can deploy ready-to-use or customized AI agents for various administrative processes. The agents independently perform tasks such as answering frequently asked questions, processing permit applications, and supporting complaint handling.
The technology is built on existing Salesforce solutions and works via standard templates, allowing even teams without technical knowledge to quickly set up agents. The system offers features specific to the public sector. It helps with regulatory enforcement, matching candidates to job openings, and guiding citizens through benefit applications.
Complaints can be automatically grouped and analyzed, providing policymakers with insights for further optimization. One of the first users is a city in the state of Texas, but Salesforce also wants to win hearts in Europe.
