Here’s why ISVs should Agentify their Salesforce apps

Here’s why ISVs should Agentify their Salesforce apps

Technology is evolving fast, and AI Agents are changing the way we interact with software. Agents bridge gaps that traditional apps and even modern AI-powered tools haven’t been able to fill. For ISV partners, this is an amazing opportunity. At Modelit, we’ve experienced that when we want to automate processes or better utilize our time, AI has been able to help us a ton in doing that.

Despite all the stability progress in application development, many business applications still require a lot of manual input, rigid UI structures, and complex rules to make Salesforce data work. AI Agents flip this model on its head by offering a more natural, intuitive way to interact with software. Instead of navigating menus or configuring settings, you can hand off tasks to an AI Agent that understands what they need and takes action for them.

That’s why there’s no better time to start Agentifying your Salesforce app than now.
