Becoming an Agentforce Specialist

Probably one of the toughest technical tests I've tackled in recent memory is the Salesforce AI Specialist certification. Quite challenging, but proud to sharpen the skillset.

After witnessing the reveal of Agentforce at Dreamforce, this weekend, because I'm a nerd, I went through the "Drive Productivity with Einstein AI" trail, writing down notes while reading about Agentforce and solving hands-on challenges in Salesforce. I almost forgot how much Trailhead is an amazing learning center. The writing is refreshingly clear, and it's a well-guided experience from start to finish.

The fun part: Once I'd gone through the Trailhead material, I organized my notes into 5 sections aligned with the exam's advertised scoring categories. Then I plugged those notes into Google's NotebookLM, prompted it to prioritize by category weight, and within minutes I had a personal podcast of my notes that I listened to while putting up Christmas lights on the roof (first on my block).

It's pretty exciting to think about what AGI will bring to the world. (Assuming it doesn't destroy us first.)
