Note
Note Service Assistant is only supported in the legacy Agentforce Builder. Starting in July 2026, the requirement that new agents can only be created in the new Agentforce Builder doesn't apply to Service Assistant. You can continue to create and configure a Service Assistant agent in the legacy builder until further notice. See Create Agents in the New Builder Only Starting July 2026.

Service Assistant is a proactive AI agent on the case and messaging session record that guides service reps through issue resolution. Instead of digging through company documents and knowledge articles to figure out how to resolve a record, service reps get AI-generated record summaries and step-by-step resolution guidance, known as service plans. Service Assistant surfaces this guidance in the Service Assistant Lightning web component that shows as a panel on the record page.

Service Assistant builds the service plan from your company data, so the guidance is fully grounded in multiple sources, such as the record data, subagents and instructions, agent actions, and knowledge articles from Agentforce Data Libraries. With a dynamic plan, Service Assistant monitors the record in real time and adapts the guidance as the record changes.

Beyond the service plan, Service Assistant offers optional capabilities, such as Case Catch-Up & Insights and Service Replies, that give service reps more resolution assistance.
