AI Associate Salesforce Einstein AI Features Practice Question
A company wants to build an autonomous AI agent with Agentforce that can handle customer inquiries about order status and returns. The agent should escalate to a human agent when it cannot resolve the issue. Which two components must be configured in Agent Builder?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse Intents with Topics, thinking Intents are the primary building block, but in Agentforce, Topics are the required container that must be configured first, with Intents nested inside them.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Topics
Topics are correct because they define the specific areas of customer inquiries (e.g., order status, returns) that the autonomous agent can handle. In Agentforce, Topics act as the primary organizational unit that groups related intents and actions, enabling the agent to route conversations appropriately. Without Topics, the agent would lack the structured domain knowledge needed to process and escalate customer issues.
