How Agentforce Converts LLM Responses into Structured UI for AI Agents Across 4M Sessions
Summary
Agentforce enhances AI agents by converting large language model (LLM) responses into interactive, structured UI components, improving user experience across over 4 million sessions. It tackles challenges like deciding when to replace plain text with rich UI, maintaining conversational context with user interactions, and integrating these features into existing Service Bot frameworks. This approach helps Salesforce teams build smarter AI agents that guide users through complex workflows with intuitive, clickable interfaces instead of overwhelming text.

In our Engineering Energizers Q&A series, we highlight the engineers building the systems that power Salesforce’s most advanced platforms. Today, we spotlight Utkarsh Jain, a senior software engineer at Salesforce, who develops the Connections capability within Agentforce to transform how AI agents deliver information by moving beyond plain text to support richer, interactive experiences that already power more than 4 million sessions. Explore how Utkarsh and his team engineered a system that allows Agentforce agents to render structured UI components directly from LLM responses by solving the challenge of selecting rich UI over plain text, building a conversion system for structured interfaces, and integrating these capabilities into agent infrastructure while preserving conversational context.
