AI Associate Salesforce Einstein AI Features Practice Question
A company wants to build an autonomous AI agent using Agentforce that can handle customer inquiries about order status and reset passwords. Which components must be defined in Agent Builder? (Choose TWO.)
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse the components of Agent Builder with those of Einstein Bots (which use Intents and Dialogues), leading them to select Intents or Dialogues instead of recognizing that Agent Builder uses Topics and Actions as its core building blocks.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Topics
In Agent Builder, Topics are the primary mechanism for defining the scope of an autonomous agent's capabilities. Each topic represents a distinct customer intent (e.g., 'Order Status' or 'Password Reset') and contains the instructions, prompts, and conversation flow logic for handling that specific type of inquiry. Without defining Topics, the agent would have no structured way to route or process customer requests.
