What can an AI agent do with Salesforce?
Agents usually read Salesforce to understand accounts, contacts and opportunities, then write back carefully: logging activities, filling fields from call notes, proposing cleanup or flagging deals that look at risk. Most good setups keep writes narrow, use the API user permissions of the person asking, and leave stage, amount and close date changes to a human.
