What’s Agentforce Vibes Extension?
Agentforce Vibes extension (formerly Agentforce for Developers) is a suite of agentic AI tools designed to transform developer productivity and execute complex development workflows automatically.
Key Features
-
Agentforce Vibes chat: This is your intelligent development partner that doesn’t just provide information but also takes action. Through agentic chat powered by MCP, Agentforce (formerly Dev Agent) can execute commands, perform complex workflows automatically, and connect directly to your Salesforce org. Agentforce Vibes chat reduces context switching between tools and streamlines testing, deployment, and metadata operations through natural language conversations.
-
Inline autocompletions: As you type, Agentforce Vibes can suggest code completions without any interruptions to your workflow. You can easily choose the suggestion that works for you. Use this feature in Apex and LWC (JavaScript, CSS, and HTML) files.
Overview
With Agentforce Vibes, you can use natural language to generate code, build Apex classes and Lightning components, deploy solutions, and manage your org. Intelligent workflow automation is part of its foundation, making it powerful for both experienced developers seeking efficiency and new developers learning the Salesforce platform.
As an intelligent development partner, Agentforce Vibes goes beyond traditional pair programming by taking action on your behalf throughout the development process. Agentforce, your AI agent, is powered by expertise learned from anonymized code patterns in Salesforce’s secure, custom AI models. It can execute commands, interact with your org, and complete multistep workflows. Along the way, it enforces development best practices through automated code generation, testing, and a suite of recommended static analysis and security scanning tools.
Agentforce Vibes extension works with Salesforce DX projects. It’s available as a part of the Salesforce Extension Pack on the Visual Studio Marketplace. You can install it in the VS Code IDE, and it’s preinstalled in Agentforce Vibes IDE.
Before You Start
Before using Agentforce Vibes, you must enable Salesforce telemetry. Our telemetry monitors and audits Salesforce generative AI to ensure that it functions properly. Enabling it is easy to do. Just follow these steps in VS Code or the Agentforce Vibes IDE.
- Select File | Preferences | Settings (Windows or Linux) or Code | Settings | Settings (macOS).
- Search for
salesforcedx-vscode-core.telemetry.enabledto confirm that this Salesforce telemetry setting is on in your workspace.
- If the setting isn’t on, select the checkbox to enable telemetry.
- Next, search for
telemetry, then choose all from the dropdown menu for the Telemetry: Telemetry Level setting.
- Open a terminal and run
sf config set disable-telemetry=false --globalto enable CLI telemetry.
- Press Command+Shift+P on Mac or Ctrl+Shift+P in Windows to open the Command Palette, and run Developer: Reload Window.
By default, Agentforce Vibes extension is enabled in the desktop application, and can be launched from your Salesforce org from the Set Up menu. Click the icon in the status bar to turn off Agentforce Vibes at any time.
Agentforce Vibes uses generative AI, which can produce inaccurate or harmful responses. The output generated by AI is often nondeterministic. Before using the generated output, review it for accuracy and safety. You assume responsibility for how the outcomes of Agentforce Vibes are applied to your organization.
