Knowledge Grounding with Data 360

For agents that answer from your content. Agentforce needs Data 360 for that, even for Knowledge articles. We check whether your free Data 360 allowance covers it, ground one source, and test the answers before your customers see them.

§03Scope

What’s included.

  • A sizing check first: whether your free Data 360 allowance covers this source and your expected questions, and what it costs if not
  • Data 360 set up, or your existing set-up checked
  • One source: Knowledge articles, uploaded files, SharePoint, Drive or transcripts
  • A Data Library and a retriever, with the agent user's access to the content checked
  • Data 360 credit alerts and a monthly credit forecast
  • An answer test suite from your real questions, scored for correct source and correct answer
§04The alternative

Is Salesforce’s own feature enough?

Salesforce's own set-up may be enough if your content is already in published Knowledge articles and your admin can set up Data 360 and a Data Library. Agentforce's Answer Questions with Knowledge action needs a Data Library, so Data 360 is needed even for Knowledge articles, and libraries use Data 360 credits. Enterprise edition and above can provision Data 360 at no cost with a starting allowance. What Salesforce's set-up doesn't tell you is whether your content answers the questions people really ask, or whether the agent's answers are right.
