hello everyone In this video we are
0:07
going to see how to quickly create agent
0:10
force
0:12
agent and deploy it to a
0:17
sandbox Here I'm going to make use of
0:20
Salesforce developer edition org to
0:22
create the agent force agent Once it is
0:25
created in the developer edition or I'm
0:27
going to deploy that to my sandbox
0:31
or the first step is
0:34
install VS code in your uh PC Next
0:38
install Salesforce uh extension
0:42
pack After
0:44
that use this
0:48
command in your VS
0:51
code terminal Before using that we have
0:55
to connect our developer edition org to
0:59
VS code So this is my developer edition
1:04
org Let's see how to connect it here So
1:07
I'm going to use
1:09
uh control shiftp I'm going to create
1:12
sfdx create project with manifest I'm
1:15
going to select
1:17
standard Since it is my agent force uh
1:20
developer edition or I'm giving the name
1:21
as agent
1:23
forcede I'm going to store it in
1:28
my PC So it is done Next is we have to
1:33
authorize it You can use
1:37
uh sfdx authorize and it will open uh
1:41
the login screen in your default browser
1:44
You have to enter your username and
1:45
password the VS code will be authorized
1:48
I have already done that So I'm going to
1:51
select
1:52
my agent force developer edition
1:56
or the next step is go to terminal here
2:00
and run this SF update command We are
2:02
running this command to update
2:04
Salesforce CLA which is installed in
2:07
your PC Once this is done it is a
2:10
one-time update You can keep doing it so
2:13
that your Salesforce CLA is up to date
2:15
Next is we have to install agent force
2:18
DXVS code extension Go to this uh link
2:23
and install it Let's say you are using
2:25
code builder and not the regular VS code
2:28
Then you have to go to this link and get
2:30
the agent for agent force DX VS code
2:35
extension The next step is we are going
2:37
to create the agent specification
2:40
In order to do that we have to run this
2:44
command I'm going to run this command
2:48
here We are not creating the agent We
2:49
are just um creating the specification
2:53
for it It is asking me whether it should
2:55
be customer or internal I'm going to say
2:58
internal It is asking me the name I'm
3:01
going to
3:03
use infallible techy as the name It is
3:06
asking the description of my company
3:09
I'm going to give this
3:12
information Please don't use any random
3:15
information This information will be
3:17
sent to the LLM to build the agent force
3:19
agent for you Next I'm going to give
3:22
this will be the role of an
3:25
agent So now it is creating the
3:28
specification and not the agent We have
3:30
to go to specs folder doubleclick the
3:33
YAML file and confirm whether everything
3:36
is looking good Once this is done we
3:39
have to run
3:40
this command to create the agent force
3:44
agent So I'm going to run this SF agent
3:48
create It is asking me which YAML I have
3:51
to use If you want you can create your
3:53
own YAML file and then you should be
3:55
able to have it under specs folder so
3:57
that it can look for it I'm going I'm
3:59
having only one so I'm selecting that
4:01
one Now it is asking me the label for
4:04
the new agent I'm going to give the name
4:06
as in my agent
4:10
17 I'm going to make use of the default
4:12
API
4:13
name Now it is creating the agent force
4:16
agent in my developer edition or so So
4:20
this is my developer edition or I have
4:21
only two
4:26
agents Okay previously it was creating
4:30
it in around uh 18 seconds So now also
4:34
it created it within 18 seconds So now
4:38
the agent force agent is
4:41
created in my developer edition or you
4:44
can click this You can click the open
4:46
builder button and then you should be
4:48
able to activate it and test the um
4:51
agent force agent If you want to do it
4:53
with the code then you can run this
4:56
command So this is the example command I
4:58
have already set it up So we can run
5:02
this command in VS code Here I have said
5:06
it should open in Chrome If you want to
5:07
open it in Firefox instead of Chrome you
5:10
have to use the browser name like
5:12
Firefox You can give it so that it will
5:14
open it in Firefox If you want to open
5:16
it in Safari you have to give Safari So
5:20
if you want you can test it
5:25
So it created these topics for me and
5:29
then uh if you want you can activate it
5:31
also Now the agent creation in my
5:35
developer edition or is done So this is
5:38
in my developer edition or in my sandbox
5:42
or which is not tied to this developer
5:45
edition or because in developer edition
5:47
or we cannot create sandboxes So this is
5:49
my production from my production org I
5:51
created this full copy sandbox which is
5:54
not uh relevant to the developer edition
5:56
or here I have few agents but I don't
6:00
have the
6:02
agent my agent 17 let's see how to
6:05
deploy this to this
6:08
sandbox use this
6:11
uh one or you have to run this command
6:14
command shift
6:16
p authorize an org And then you should
6:20
be able to authorize an arc and have it
6:22
in your VS code Once that is done you
6:26
have to select that here So here I'm
6:28
going to select my full sandbox
6:32
authorization Now go to force app select
6:36
bots folder genai planner and genai
6:41
plugins Select these three folders Right
6:44
click and select deploy this
6:47
to source to or Once I do that it is
6:52
deploying the agent force agent which I
6:56
created it in my developer edition or
6:58
the deployment is also successful Now I
7:02
should see that agent force
7:05
agent in my full sandbox
7:11
So I was able to make use of developer
7:13
edition
7:15
or VS code to create an agent force
7:19
agent in my developer edition or and
7:22
with the help of VS code I was able to
7:24
quickly deploy it to my sandbox
7:30
