Salesforce\u2019s State of Service<\/strong> research, conducted with 6,500 service professionals worldwide, reveals that customer expectations are rising and that service teams are rapidly turning to AI technologies to meet this demand. In this transformation, AI agents, Salesforce Agentforce<\/strong>, and integrated customer data are becoming the core components of delivering faster, more personalized, and more scalable service.<\/p>\n

A New Era in Customer Service: Human and AI Agent Collaboration<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of the service professionals surveyed, 82% say customer expectations are far higher than they used to be. Customers now demand 24\/7 support, fast resolutions, and personalized interactions. Meanwhile, service reps can spend only 46% of their time directly with customers, with the rest consumed by administrative tasks, case notes, and internal meetings. Add a growing skills gap and rising case volumes, and it becomes inevitable for companies to redesign their customer service operations.<\/p>\n

This is precisely where AI agents come in. These systems are no longer just tools that provide information, they\u2019re now positioned as digital partners that can execute processes end-to-end within defined boundaries, take action by accessing customer data and workflows, and work alongside human teams. According to the research, 79% of service leaders believe that investing in AI agents is critical to meeting today’s business needs. AI is no longer just a vision for the future, it\u2019s now part of today’s customer service strategy.<\/p>\n

The Impact of AI Agents on Customer Experience and Operations<\/strong><\/p>\n

Companies are combining predictive, generative, and agentic AI to deliver faster, more accurate, and more personalized customer interactions. According to the report, 69% of service professionals use at least one type of AI within their organization, while 39% use agentic AI. Platforms like Salesforce Agentforce<\/strong> enable these capabilities to securely connect with customer data, service processes, and workflows.<\/p>\n

Beyond answering frequently asked questions, AI agents can resolve order inquiries, provide real-time routing, and work alongside human agents on complex customer requests. The results are quite tangible: service leaders and operations teams that use AI agents or plan to use them expect, after full implementation, an average 20% reduction in service costs and case resolution times, a 20% increase in customer satisfaction, an 18% increase in case deflection, and a 15% increase in upsell revenue.<\/p>\n

Another notable finding is the impact of human-AI collaboration on teams. At companies using AI, 83% of service reps believe that AI knowledge increases career opportunities, while 82% believe complex cases are best resolved through human-AI collaboration. By freeing agents from routine tasks, AI allows them to focus on higher-value areas like building customer relationships, mentoring, and process improvement.<\/p>\n

The Foundation of AI Success: Unified Data and Integrated Systems<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ability of AI solutions to create real value is directly tied to the strength of the underlying data infrastructure. According to the report, companies that consolidate service channel data on a unified platform are 1.4 times more likely to rate their AI implementations as \u201cvery successful\u201d compared to companies with isolated systems. The integration of customer data across CRM<\/strong>, service channels, and operational systems is critical for AI agents to operate with the right context.<\/p>\n

Despite this, 44% of service leaders say technology silos are delaying or limiting their AI initiatives. Meanwhile, 88% of companies have made technology integration a priority to support their AI initiatives. This picture shows that getting the expected return from AI isn\u2019t just about choosing the right model, it\u2019s about building the right data and integration architecture spanning Salesforce, Data Cloud, Agentforce<\/strong>, and enterprise systems.<\/p>\n

Self-Service and Personalized Customer Interactions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Agentic AI<\/strong> allows customers to resolve common issues on their own, freeing service teams to focus on more critical and complex matters. According to the report, 30% of cases were resolved by AI in 2025, and this figure is expected to rise to 50% by 2027. This growth shows that the self-service customer experience is evolving from a structure that merely provides information into an intelligent service experience capable of completing transactions.<\/p>\n

The most common AI agent use cases include answering customer questions, resolving order inquiries, generating conversation summaries, providing agents and technicians with access to knowledge, and offering personalized product recommendations. Voice and multimodal AI are also a key part of this transformation. Among service professionals using voice AI, 85% say that handoffs from AI to human agents happen smoothly for the customer. This makes it possible to deliver a seamless experience in which conversation context and customer history are preserved even when the channel changes.<\/p>\n

A similar transformation is underway in field service. Field technicians spend 18% of their weekly working hours (about 7.27 hours) on low-value administrative tasks. While 85% of field service leaders plan to increase their AI investments over the next year, AI adoption is rapidly expanding in areas such as instant access to information, parts inventory management, and augmented-reality-assisted visual diagnostics.<\/p>\n

Secure, Controlled, and Scalable AI Service Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trust is one of the biggest obstacles to AI transformation. Security concerns are causing delays or scope limitations in 51% of AI initiatives. On the other hand, 86% of service leaders say they\u2019re willing to invest more in technology that ensures data security. This is why data access, authorization, auditability, and human oversight must be part of the design from the very start in enterprise AI projects.<\/p>\n

For companies to derive sustainable value from their AI investments, the technology infrastructure needs to be designed securely, in an integrated way, and in alignment with business processes. Salesforce\u2019s Agentic Maturity Model<\/strong> approach summarizes this journey in three stages: generating knowledge-based responses (RAG),<\/strong> reasoning to access transactional data, and taking controlled autonomous action on systems. A successful Agentforce implementation addresses this maturity journey together with clear use cases and measurableable business goals.<\/p>\n
