CentroBot vs Agentforce Coworker

Salesforce agents for Microsoft Teams, and what each one requires.

Agentforce Coworker is Salesforce's employee-facing agent: one assistant across Salesforce data, built on Data 360 and licensed through Agentforce 1 seat plans or Flex Credits. CentroBot is a Salesforce agent that runs where your users already work, in Microsoft Teams and Slack, without a Data 360 prerequisite and without credit metering. This page covers what each one requires, where each one runs, and what happens to your budget as usage grows.

What Agentforce Coworker is

Salesforce's agent for employees, part of the Agentforce platform. It reasons over Salesforce and connected data through Data 360 and runs actions defined in Agentforce. It is in beta in Salesforce, and Salesforce has announced web, Microsoft Teams, ChatGPT, Claude, and desktop surfaces for later in 2026. It is licensed through Agentforce 1 seat plans or Flex Credits, and connecting sources through Data 360 consumes credits. Check Salesforce's current requirements for which surfaces are available and what Data 360 setup is needed.

Where it fits: Salesforce-first companies already invested in Data 360 and Agentforce that want one agent across the Salesforce stack.

What CentroBot is

Centro's Salesforce agent for Microsoft Teams and Slack.

Every answer cites its source, every write asks for confirmation, and Action Prompts let Salesforce message the rep first. Automation is built in Salesforce Flow.

Where each one stops

Agentforce Coworker

  • Licensed through Agentforce 1 seat plans or Flex Credits, and Data 360 sources consume credits as they are indexed. Check Salesforce's current requirements before budgeting.
  • In beta in Salesforce. Microsoft Teams is announced for later in 2026; check current availability.

CentroBot

  • A paid subscription; it is not part of a Salesforce contract.
  • The conversational agent needs a connected Salesforce license.
