What are Agentforce Summits and how are they transforming customer service in 2025?
Agentforce Summits are a global event series by Salesforce for 2025, focused on autonomous AI service agents. They provide hands-on training, workshops, and live demos to help businesses automate repetitive tasks, reduce operational costs, and empower human agents for complex, high-value customer interactions.
The agenda is built around four practical layers:
- Atlas Reasoning Engine – The core AI that enables agents to execute complex, multi-step plans beyond simple FAQ responses.
- Data Cloud ingestion – Vectorizes unstructured data from sources like PDFs and call transcripts, allowing agents to provide context-aware, company-specific answers.
- Slack-first hand-off – Seamlessly transfers escalated cases to human agents within Slack, preserving the full conversation history for instant review.
- Trust layer – Enhances compliance by stamping every AI-generated response with a complete audit trail detailing the data, objects, and models used.
"56% of all customer experience interactions will be managed by agentic AI within twelve months, climbing to 68% by 2028."

This statistic highlights why the summits are a continuous global tour – with stops from Auckland to Madrid – rather than a single conference. Salesforce enables partners and customers to iterate in real-time with each product release, eliminating the long wait for events like Dreamforce.
Sessions are organized into three specialized tracks, providing attendees with actionable blueprints:
- Deployment track – For architects to build a functional Agentforce Service Agent in a sandbox, connect it via MuleSoft APIs, and deploy it on channels like WhatsApp.
- Data track – For analysts to master unifying streaming data with Data Cloud and surfacing next-best-offers using Tableau Next.
- Change-management track – For COOs to receive proven playbooks on agent supervision, KPI realignment, and strategic employee reskilling.
Kazakhstan is emerging as a key market for these innovations. Salesforce has announced general availability of the Agentforce Service Agent in over 80 markets, including Kazakhstan. Regional system integrators are actively providing localized data-residency solutions, allowing enterprises to keep sensitive data on-shore while leveraging multi-tenant AI.
Early adopters in Central Asia reflect global trends. Telecom providers are deploying bill explanation bots, pharmaceutical firms are automating sample-status inquiries, and banks are piloting voice authentication with automated dispute summaries. These sectors consistently report metrics seen worldwide: an approximate 30% reduction in average handle time and a 17% increase in CSAT when AI agents resolve tier-1 issues.
| Metric in 2025 (projected) | AI-assisted service | Traditional service |
|---|---|---|
| Operational cost reduction | 30-40% | baseline |
| Customer satisfaction uplift | +17% | baseline |
| Share of cases solved end-to-end | 30% now, 50% by 2027 | declining |
The impact on the workforce is also quantifiable. Gartner estimates that for every 10,000 inbound contacts, achieving 40% autonomous resolution reduces the need for 120 agents. Simultaneously, this shift creates a surge in demand for new roles like prompt engineers, MuleSoft integration leads, and agent performance managers. Summit career boards feature nearly 3,000 open positions globally for "agentic systems," a job category that was virtually non-existent two years ago.
"Up to 300 million jobs globally could be impacted or replaced by AI by 2025, yet new roles in AI supervision and data analytics offset part of the displacement."

At partner booths, attendees can experience pre-built industry templates firsthand. Examples include banking agents for screening mortgage documents, retail bots for resolving loyalty point issues, and utility agents for scheduling field crews based on smart-meter alerts. Each template includes a risk matrix, detailing how PII is masked and where audit logs are stored for compliance.
The hands-on ethos extends to networking and collaboration. Roundtables connect Salesforce product managers with local CIOs to co-design future roadmap features. "Fail-fast" clinics provide a forum for participants to share challenges and receive on-the-spot debugging from Salesforce engineers. All sessions are recorded and made available on Salesforce+, allowing global attendees to stay current.
Registration data reveals a cross-functional audience, with attendees from IT (38%), customer experience (29%), commerce (20%), and marketing (13%). This blend fosters critical conversations that break down internal silos. For example, marketers learn how sentiment analysis in Journey Builder can reduce unsubscribes, while IT architects see how exposing new data fields to agents enriches context.
For companies evaluating ROI, Salesforce provides a quick-start bundle. It includes 250 Agentforce licenses, one week of onsite enablement, and success metrics guaranteed in a Statement of Work. Adopters who achieve the 30% autonomous resolution milestone earn credits for additional Data Cloud compute, creating a virtuous cycle of data ingestion and insight.
By the end of 2025, the tour will have spanned six continents and generated a rich asset library, including over 250 sample dialog flows, 60 enterprise app connectors, and anonymized benchmarks across 15 industries. These resources enable any organization to clone assets into a sandbox and launch a pilot within days, demonstrating why Salesforce is centering its Service Cloud strategy on Agentforce.
Firms in Kazakhstan can request a local briefing to explore the Agentforce stack. Integration teams are fluent in Russian, Kazakh, and English, with established data-residency blueprints for AWS Almaty and Astana zones. With nearly 100% mobile penetration and WhatsApp as the primary service channel, the region’s infrastructure is optimized for an agent-first engagement model.
Whether your team is in Karagandy or California, the summit formula remains consistent: watch a live demo, build a functional agent before lunch, and leave with a project plan ready for your next Monday morning stand-up.
