What we can build with Salesforce
ShooflyAI builds agents and workflows that run inside a client's existing Salesforce org, with a human approving anything that touches a record. Everything we build uses the client's own objects, flows, and permissions so they keep full control.
These are example builds, not client case studies. We scope the real build to your stack and put an ROI estimate on it in an Operating Assessment first.
AI agents for Salesforce automate repetitive CRM work such as lead routing and scoring, record enrichment, pipeline hygiene, follow-up drafting, and on-demand reporting, with a human approving the steps that touch a record. Salesforce offers its own AI in Agentforce and Einstein, built with low-code tools inside your org, though it typically requires Data Cloud and runs on consumption-based credit pricing. ShooflyAI instead builds custom Salesforce agents for mid-market companies that run on your existing objects, flows, and permissions, connect out to the other systems you use, and keep a person in the loop. You own the code, configuration, data, and IP outright, with no per-action metering, no lock-in, and no revenue share.

Frequently asked questions
What can an AI agent do inside Salesforce?
It can route and score leads, enrich records, flag stale opportunities, draft follow-up emails, and assemble reports. ShooflyAI builds these as human-in-the-loop workflows so reps review the important actions before they commit.
Will an AI agent mess up my Salesforce data?
Not if it is built carefully. ShooflyAI scopes agents to specific fields and actions, logs every change, and keeps a human approval step on anything that writes to records, so your data stays clean and auditable.
Does this replace my sales team?
No. The goal is to remove low-value busywork like data entry, enrichment, and drafting so reps spend more time selling. Humans stay in control of decisions and customer-facing messages.
How does an agent connect to Salesforce?
It connects through Salesforce's standard APIs with permission scopes you control. ShooflyAI builds within your existing security model rather than bypassing it.
Who owns the Salesforce agent ShooflyAI builds?
Your company owns the code, configuration, data, and IP. There is no lock-in and no revenue share with ShooflyAI.
Want to see what we would build for you?
We start with an Operating Assessment that maps your highest-value workflows and puts a hard ROI estimate on them before any build. You own the code, the data, and the IP.
