  • Develop Apex classes and Lightning Web Components to connect the AI agent to Salesforce data (cases, knowledge articles, CRM records)
  • Configure and train the AI agent using knowledge base content, FAQs, and support workflows
  • Write test cases to validate AI agent responses, accuracy, and proper escalation to human agents
  • Monitor and iterate on AI agent performance, expanding automated coverage over time
