Understanding usability and adoption
It can take time to grasp the full potential of integrating Agentforce into your daily workflow. To help you with this, we’ve crafted reports and dashboards to empower you in comprehending the utilization of Agentforce within your organization.
Once a Copilot or an Agent is enabled and data cloud is set up, our Data Cloud objects and data pipelines are seamlessly created within your Data Cloud, following by our out-of-the-box reports and dashboards. There is no installation or other process needed from you.
You can monitor key metrics including user engagement, adoption rates, and stickiness to track the rollout of agents. Gain insight into which actions are utilized and assess their performance. Analyze overall usage patterns to uncover trends and pinpoint areas for enhancement.
Together, let’s navigate this journey of integrating agents seamlessly into your workflow, maximizing its potential to streamline and elevate productivity.
The current* list of metrics displayed in the dashboard:

Introducing Utterance Analysis
Metrics and charts are useful, but what if you want a deeper look into what users are asking your agent and how well those requests are handled?
With Utterance Analysis, you gain quick insights into user interactions with Copilot and agents, seeing exactly what’s being requested and how effectively those requests are met. Customizable reports let you refine topics and actions so that both Copilot and agents deliver more accurate, relevant responses.
No more combing through entire audit trail logs to find patterns! Utterance Analysis groups similar user requests into Clusters, which are further organized into Categories. This layered approach highlights overall trends, allowing you to drill into specifics as needed.
Additionally, you can filter for unsupported requests marked as system topics to identify where Copilot or an agent couldn’t provide a suitable response. This data helps you identify new topics and actions that align with user needs, ensuring a smoother and more responsive agent experience.
Demonstrating ROI and value metrics
Unlocking this black box is an industry-wide problem, and we’re pulling up our sleeves to address it. In upcoming releases, we’ll focus on enriching the above mentioned insights and deliver tangible ROI and value metrics. By correlating Agentforce’s usage data with business outcomes, such as increased productivity, reduced manual effort, and operational cost reduction, you’ll be able to showcase the impact on your organization’s bottom line. Armed with this data, you and your organization’s leadership can make informed decisions about resource allocation, training initiatives, and future enhancements.
While certain companies adhere to predefined thresholds for performance evaluation, we recognize the inherent diversity among businesses and individuals. Each organization is distinct, rendering comparisons between them impractical, even within the same industry or ecosystem.
This underscores the significance of consolidating CRM data and other operations into a unified platform. By centralizing this information, you gain valuable insights into the impact of integrating GenAI into your daily operations. This tracking is tailored to your organization’s unique personas and data, rather than relying on external benchmarks.
As performance and productivity improve, the need to measure ROI becomes paramount. This ensures that the benefits derived from leveraging GenAI are accurately quantified, reinforcing the value of its integration within your organization.
When dealing with AI solutions and your business, it’s crucial to stay attuned to the value derived from usage. We’re here to assist you in gaining this visibility.
