What it is
AgentExchange is Salesforce's marketplace where partners and ISVs publish ready-to-install agent actions, topics, prompt templates, and agent templates for Agentforce. It works like AppExchange but is purpose-built for agentic AI components. Admins browse, install, and configure listings directly in their org.
Why it matters
Reduces build time by letting mid-market teams adopt proven agent patterns instead of building from scratch. Creates a partner ecosystem that accelerates trust and speeds ROI on AI investments.
Key components
- Partner-built agent templates
- Installable actions/topics
- Security review process
How it connects
Listings install directly as Agentforce topics, actions, or agents inside Agent Builder, extending Customer 360 and Data Cloud.
Good to know
Vet listings for data access scope and grounding sources before installing in production orgs.
