Key Features	• Agentforce Builder for configuring, testing, and deploying agents within Salesforce; availability and prerequisites depend on the applicable Salesforce edition and products (source: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.agentforce.htm&type=5). • Agent Script for defining agent behavior with instructions and reasoning controls; availability may depend on the applicable Agentforce release and account configuration (source: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.agentforce.htm&type=5). • Agentforce Voice for supported voice deployments; telephony provider, region, product, and channel availability must be verified for each implementation (source: https://www.salesforce.com/agentforce/voice/).	• Cloud macOS, Linux and Windows VMs purpose-built for agents • Pre-wired for Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw and Computer Use • MCP-native desktop control API

✓Focused capabilities address a concrete workflow instead of offering a generic chat interface
✓A short pilot can test the core workflow with representative data
✓Published features are specific enough to define measurable acceptance tests
✓Related tools make direct same-input comparison practical

✗Best for existing Salesforce customers; licensing, credits, data quality and specialist administration add complexity.
✗Output still requires a qualified human for consequential or customer-facing work
✗Integration, retention, export and support terms must be checked for the selected plan
✗Subscription price does not include setup, review time or operational ownership

✓macOS cloud desktops are rare and useful for Apple-only app workflows
✓MCP-native — works with any agent runtime that speaks MCP
✓Per-session isolation, recording, and revocation solve real compliance blockers
✓Removes the operational tax of running your own VM fleet for computer-use agents

✗Per-hour billing can be expensive for always-on agents — model carefully
✗Hourly rate must be verified directly with vendor (no live confirmation from curl)
✗Windows support tends to lag macOS/Linux in cloud-desktop products
✗Cua removes infra friction but does not fix the underlying fragility of computer-use models
