Agentforce Service Agent is Salesforce’s generative AI-powered conversational agent designed to handle multi-turn, dynamic conversations. It can integrate with custom APIs, maintain memory across interactions, and execute custom actions for complex service tasks like order tracking and appointment management.

Option A (Einstein Bot) handles structured, predefined flows but lacks dynamic reasoning and memory.

Option B (Employee Agent) is designed for internal employee support, not customer-facing interactions.

The Actions & Recommendations component is the Salesforce best practice for guiding support reps through issue-specific processes and ensuring Einstein Next Best Action is displayed contextually. It allows admins to embed screen flows or recommended actions directly within the Service Console, enabling reps to collect relevant information and follow standardized steps.

This aligns with the Service Cloud Solution Design domain in the exam guide, which stresses designing intuitive and guided agent experiences.

Option B would fragment the user experience across record pages, making training and navigation difficult.

Option C is part of standard case setup but does not provide guided flows or actionable recommendations for new agents.

Reduced service rep backlog directly reflects operational efficiency and cost savings following a Service Cloud implementation. When automation, routing, and self-service capabilities reduce open case volume and agent handling time, the company can handle the same or greater workload with fewer resources—representing measurable cost savings.

Option A (CSAT) measures customer satisfaction, not cost efficiency.

Option B (license count) is a static expense metric and not a performance outcome of implementation.

Salesforce provides a Service Customer Verification topic for Agentforce Service Agent, allowing companies to verify customer identity before exposing or modifying case data. By using this topic with a filter on the Case Management topic, the AI agent enforces secure, contextual verification workflows, maintaining compliance and data privacy.

Option A lacks the standardized verification process Salesforce provides.

Option B ensures better action control but does not include customer verification as a prerequisite.
