Not every tech demo comes with handcrafted cocktails—but maybe they should. Last month in New York City, we decided to ditch the usual death by slides snoozefest and put Agentforce to work in a way that everyone could appreciate: pairing top-notch drinks with equally delicious food. Because if AI can match the perfect whiskey to your burger, imagine what it can do for actual business challenges.

Bringing Agentforce to Life: A Hands-On Demonstration

The star of the evening? An AI-powered agent that curated drink and food pairings using locally sourced beers, wines, and spirits. The mission: prove that with the right data, AI can make smart, instant recommendations—whether for a casual night out or for complex decisions in Health Care and Life Sciences (HLS). And spoiler alert: it delivered.

But the real magic of Agentforce? It’s not just about AI-powered recommendations—it’s about accessibility, wherever you are. Whether you're at a bar, a stadium, or a conference, our agents seamlessly integrate into the experience, meeting you on your preferred channel—phone, email, SMS, or web.

Imagine walking into a packed event, ordering a drink from your phone, and having it ready in minutes—no shouting over a crowded bar, no waiting in long lines. Whether you’re making real-time decisions or optimizing complex workflows, Agentforce is always within reach, delivering smart, instant recommendations whenever and wherever you need them.

A Taste of New York: Locally Sourced Beverages

We kept it local, featuring some of New York’s finest craft spirits and brews. Guests sipped on a Classic Daiquiri made with Brooklyn’s own Owney’s Rum, a bright and citrusy contrast to a tangy Deconstructed Chicken Tostada. The bold, bittersweet Black Manhattan found its match in Mini Burgers on Brioche, where sharp cheddar and a touch of ketchup balanced the drink’s rich complexity. And for those craving a crisp finish, the Amaro Spritz played beautifully with Nova Lox on Mini Rye Squares, cutting through the smoked salmon’s buttery texture with refreshing, citrusy notes.

From Prohibition-era rums to handcrafted whiskeys, every sip told a story—made even better by Agentforce’s ability to match flavors with precision.

What We Learned: Enhancing the User Experience

One of the biggest takeaways from the event? Agentforce can do even more. Next time, we’d want to take things a step further—storing users’ drink preferences to make reordering a breeze. Imagine walking into an event and having your favorite drink suggestion waiting for you, or being able to track what you’ve tried so you can order it again later.

This isn’t just about convenience; it’s about creating a personalized experience. With Agentforce, businesses can build stronger relationships with their customers by understanding their preferences and offering tailored recommendations. Whether it’s a cocktail or a business solution, personalized service is the future—and Agentforce makes it possible.

Beyond the Party: The Power of Data in AI Implementation

This wasn’t just a party trick. It was a real-world demonstration of how AI-powered agents can enhance everyday experiences. Whether it’s recommending the perfect drink or optimizing patient care in HLS, the principle remains the same: smart, seamless, and user-friendly AI transforms how we interact with the world.
