Experience the next evolution in development tools with the new Dev Agent for Agentforce, compatible with VS Code. Unlike its predecessor, the Dev Assistant, the Dev Agent not only provides you with code suggestions but can also perform tasks on your behalf. Simply communicate your requirements in plain English, and the Dev Agent will organize, execute tools, and complete complex workflows seamlessly within your VS Code environment.

Understanding Dev Agent

Dev Agent is designed as a proactive AI partner specifically for Salesforce developers. It has a profound understanding of your project context and can utilize tools through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This protocol provides a safe and standardized way for AI agents to discover and execute tools like Salesforce DX, eliminating the need for fragile, specific integrations.

In essence: While Dev Assistant handled inquiries, Dev Agent autonomously strategizes and executes tasks for you.
