# Headless Agentforce Development

Headless development means building, running, and extending software without requiring the Salesforce platform UI. In Agentforce, it means building, deploying, and operating Agentforce agents without Agentforce Builder or Setup. Author your agents from your IDE or AI coding tool, such as Claude Code. Expose the agents on any surface: web, mobile, Slack, voice, or a third-party agent host. This page covers headless development specific to Agentforce.
