Note In August 2026, we plan to turn on the Agentforce platform for all orgs with Agentforce access. New orgs will be enabled by default. We’ll remove the Agentforce toggle from the Agentforce Agents page in Setup, so you can build, test, and deploy agents with one less step. The platform is provisioned at no additional cost and there are no changes to billing.

1. If you haven’t already, [turn on Einstein Generative AI](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.generative_ai_enable.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Set up Einstein generative AI to get access to powerful generative AI features.").
2. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Agent, and then select **Agentforce Agents**.
    
    If you don’t see Agents in Setup, verify that Einstein Generative AI is enabled for your org.
3. To enable Agentforce, turn on the **Agentforce**.

After you enable Agentforce, refresh the page to see the New Agent button. The New Agent button launches the guided setup for creating an agent. If you don’t see the New Agent button, after enabling Agentforce, verify that the required permissions are assigned to your profile.
