A Platform Administrator needs to enable Agentforce for the service team.

For an AI agent to provide "complete and accurate" support, it needs access to a unified, 360-degree view of the customer data. Data Cloud is the critical prerequisite because it ingests, harmonizes, and unifies data from multiple sources (Salesforce, external databases, legacy systems) into a single "Unified Profile." When Agentforce is "grounded" in Data Cloud, it can reference real-time customer interactions, purchase history, and cross-channel behavior that might not exist in a single Case or Contact record. Without Data Cloud, the agent's knowledge is limited to siloed data, which increases the risk of providing incomplete or irrelevant answers. While Console layouts (Option B) and intake methods (Option A) are important for the UI, they do not provide the data foundation necessary for advanced AI reasoning.
