About Salesforce Agentforce
What is Salesforce Agentforce?
Salesforce's platform for building, testing and running AI agents across sales, service, marketing and commerce. Agents are grounded in CRM records and company data, follow configured topics and guardrails, and can take actions in Salesforce through flows and APIs. It replaces the earlier Einstein Copilot branding. Salesforce Agentforce is a specialised AI tool in the Sales category that applies machine learning to automate, enhance, or augment tasks in this domain.
Salesforce publishes Australian-dollar pricing for Agentforce and has a large local partner network for implementation. Core Salesforce data can be hosted on Hyperforce in Australia, which helps with APRA CPS 234 and government requirements, but ask how generative processing for your agents is routed. Customer-facing agents must not make misleading claims under Australian Consumer Law, and outbound agent messages must follow the Spam Act 2003, so set topics, guardrails and escalation carefully.

Pricing
Salesforce offers several buying models: Flex Credits charged per agent action, per-conversation pricing for customer-facing agents, a per-user licence that works with Flex Credits, per-user add-ons for Sales and Service Cloud, and Agentforce 1 Editions. Some building tools come free with Enterprise Edition. Australian pricing is listed on salesforce.com/au.
Details checked against the vendor's website in October 2026. Pricing changes often, so confirm current plans at salesforce.com/agentforce.
Data Residency & Privacy in Australia
Salesforce can host core CRM data on Hyperforce in Australia. Agentforce sends prompts through the Einstein Trust Layer, which masks sensitive data and relies on zero data retention agreements with external model providers, so prompts are not stored or used for training by those providers. Ask your account team where model inference runs for your org and whether any processing leaves Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions About Salesforce Agentforce
How much does Agentforce cost in Australia?
Salesforce publishes Australian-dollar prices on its Australian site, but the total depends on the buying model: per-action Flex Credits, per-conversation pricing for customer-facing agents, or per-user add-ons and editions. Most organisations need a partner or account executive to model expected volumes before choosing.
Does Agentforce keep customer data in Australia?
Salesforce orgs on Hyperforce can store core data in Australia. Agent prompts pass through the Einstein Trust Layer, and external model providers operate under zero data retention terms. Where inference physically happens depends on the models and configuration you use, so get written confirmation from Salesforce for your privacy impact assessment.
Do we need Salesforce already to use Agentforce?
In practice, yes. Agentforce runs on the Salesforce platform and gets its value from CRM data, flows and knowledge articles. Businesses using HubSpot, Zoho or Dynamics would normally look at the agent tools in their own CRM, or a standalone platform such as Relevance AI, rather than migrating to Salesforce for agents alone.
