Autonomous enterprise AI agents and CRM intelligence powered by Salesforce Data 360 and Atlas.
Deconstructs complex queries into multi-step action plans grounded in Data 360, retaining state across days or weeks to complete multi-touch operational workflows with human escalation guardrails.

Coordinate specialized subagents across departments and connect securely to external enterprise tools through verified Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers from AgentExchange partners.

Automate your email with AI
A conversational agent that organizes your inbox, identifies what matters, drafts replies, writes scheduling emails and runs multi-step workflows from a single prompt.
Plain-language AI filters and scripts that automatically label, archive, star or sweep messages so you reach inbox zero faster.
Ask questions in natural language and search across your own messages — or your whole team's emails and attachments — to get answers rather than links.
Shared threads, private comments, assigned next steps and shared labels give a team one live view of important conversations.
