Great insights from Sam Taylor related to #Agentforce. Coastal is ready to help you get started on your AI journey!
Congrats to Salesforce on launching #Agentforce today! A common question I get talking to clients and AEs alike is, "Is Data Cloud required for Agentforce?" The short answer is, "Yes and no." Agentforce does require that #DataCloud is *set up*, however, it doesn't necessarily require an *implementation*. This is mainly due to the fact that some connectivity to LLMs through Einstein Studio is part of Data Cloud (as well as I imagine some under-the-hood vector database capability is used for Einstein Data Libraries, but I don't know that for certain). This can be done as simply as provisioning the $0 SKU from the Your Account page in your org, then after it's provisioned, it should get setup automatically. You can check by going to the gears icon > Data Cloud Setup and see if the setup process has started on that page. You don't need to necessarily go any further than that to build your first agent. There's obvious benefits to building Search Indexes (Indices?) to allow #AI to search unstructured data, as well as making external data available to reference, but you won't need to worry about those bridges until you cross them.
