About the Salesforce Certified Agentforce Specialist (AI-201) Exam
The Salesforce Certified Agentforce Specialist (exam AI-201) is Salesforce's specialist credential for the Agentforce era. It validates that you can design and implement prompt templates and agents on the Salesforce platform — engineering and grounding prompts in Prompt Builder, retrieving enterprise knowledge through Data 360, building agents that reason and act across Salesforce and external channels, and taking those agents safely from sandbox to production. Salesforce renamed the credential from AI Specialist to Agentforce Specialist in March 2025, keeping the AI-201 exam code; the current exam aligns to the Spring '26 release.
The exam contains 60 multiple-choice and multiple-select questions (plus up to five unscored items) to complete in 105 minutes, with a passing score of 72%. It is proctored onsite at a testing center or online, the registration fee is $200 USD (retake $100), and no reference materials are allowed. There is no formal prerequisite certification — the exam can be booked directly — but Salesforce recommends hands-on experience with Agent Builder, Prompt Builder, the Agentforce Testing Center, and sandbox-to-production deployment. The credential stays current through an annual maintenance module on Trailhead. It targets Administrators, Developers, and Architects who build agents professionally.
AI-201 Exam Domains
AI Agents (35%). The core of the exam: building agents with Agent Builder and Agent Script — topics, actions, and instructions — hybrid reasoning, grounding agents in business data, and connecting agents to channels so they can reason and act where work happens.
Prompt Engineering (20%). Designing prompt templates in Prompt Builder: choosing template types, grounding with merge fields, flows, and Data 360 retrievers, controlling access, applying prompt best practices, and working within the Einstein Trust Layer and model access controls.
Data 360 Fundamentals (20%). The retrieval foundation under Agentforce: the Agentforce Data Library, and Data 360 concepts — ingestion, chunking, indexing, and retrievers — that determine whether an agent's answers are grounded in the right content.
Testing, Deployment, and Maintenance (10%). Validating agents in the Agentforce Testing Center, understanding how evaluations judge topics, actions, and outcomes, and deploying agents and prompt templates from sandbox to production — including what does not travel with a deployment.
Governance and Observability (10%). Managing and monitoring live agents through the Agentforce Command Center, using the Trust Layer audit trail and session tracing as compliance evidence, and improving deflection and quality with Agentforce Analytics.
Multi-Agent Orchestration (5%). Knowing when one agent should become several specialized agents, and how open standards — MCP for tools and data, A2A for agent-to-agent collaboration — let agents work across platforms.
