Note Starting the week of July 13, 2026, you can no longer create agents in the legacy
Agentforce Builder in Setup. Instead, create an agent in Agentforce Builder in Agentforce
Studio. Or upgrade an agent from the legacy builder to the new
builder. For the latest features and enhancements, we recommend migrating existing agents from
the legacy builder to the new builder. Learn more.
Before you begin, make sure that Einstein Generative AI was set up and that Agentforce is enabled.
