In this episode of the Talent Hub Talk podcast, we’re joined by Leo Alves, a returning guest whose last appearance focused on why Salesforce Developers need to think beyond the platform. Since then, his work has shifted from traditional CRM development into building AI-driven agents on Salesforce, including hands-on engineering with emerging systems like Agentforce.

Leo discusses Agentforce’s rapid evolution and where the platform is strong enough to build on versus where custom engineering is still required. He breaks down how AI agents are being used in real workflows, including multi-agent setups that are reshaping day-to-day engineering practices.

We look ahead to what the Salesforce Engineer role may become over the next three years, and how professionals can position themselves to stay relevant in an AI-first ecosystem Make sure you’re following Leo here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leofilipealves/ You can listen to his previous chat with us here: https://talenthubtalk.podbean.com/e/leo-alves-on-expanding-his-skillset-as-a-salesforce-developer-and-remote-onboarding-during-lockdown/
