Overview
What Koa is
Koa is Salesforce's first purpose-built CRM reasoning model for Agentforce, developed from NVIDIA Nemotron open models and post-trained on synthetic scenarios modeled on business processes. Salesforce says the scenarios cover lead generation, opportunity work, and service cases across more than fourteen industries. The model is meant to choose appropriate actions and preserve context within enterprise workflows rather than serve as a general consumer chatbot.
Salesforce runs Koa inside its own trust boundary and says customer data was not used to train it. Customers can select it as a managed model, an organization-level Agentforce provider, or at agent and sub-agent level in the builder. The page says select customer pilots are live now, with U.S. general availability expected in winter 2026. Because it is not a standalone SKU with a published Koa-specific price, teams should get account-specific eligibility and Agentforce consumption terms from Salesforce before budgeting a deployment.
Use cases
Who Koa is best for
The strongest fit depends on the job you need the product to complete, not the size of its feature list.
Service leaders
Pilot an agent that can reason over customer context, policies, and available actions within Salesforce.
Platform administrators
Select a managed model inside existing Agentforce governance rather than hosting model weights.

Capabilities
Core Koa features
CRM-specialized reasoning
Post-training uses synthetic business scenarios to teach action sequences and policy-aware decisions.
Salesforce trust boundary
The vendor says training and inference stay within Salesforce-controlled infrastructure.
Agentforce selection
Koa can be configured at org, agent, or sub-agent level, or chosen from managed models.
Context and action focus
Salesforce evaluates context recall and action precision on its CRM Bench.
Pilot rollout
The published FAQ describes select customer pilots and an expected U.S. GA window.
Process
How the Koa workflow works
Step 1
Verify eligibility
Ask Salesforce whether Koa is enabled for your org and region under the current pilot or GA terms.
Step 2
Choose one CRM flow
Pick a measurable task, such as case routing, with explicit records and actions the agent may use.
Step 3
Configure grounding
Provide approved records, policies, and instructions within Agentforce permissions.
Step 4
Audit outcomes
Compare action selection, context retention, escalation, and error rates against the current provider.
Cost
Koa pricing and free plan
Salesforce has not published a Koa-specific standalone rate in the reviewed product page. Koa access is tied to Agentforce and was described as a select-customer pilot, so applicable platform licenses and usage charges require a Salesforce quote. Public Agentforce pricing is not necessarily the same as Koa pricing.

Assessment
Koa strengths and limitations
Where it stands out
- Purpose-built focus on CRM actions and context.
- Runs within Salesforce-managed infrastructure and existing Agentforce model selection.
- Synthetic training avoids using customer data for the model training corpus, according to Salesforce.
What to consider
- Pilot access and regional availability limit immediate adoption.
- No public Koa-specific price supports a simple cost comparison.
- Vendor benchmark claims need confirmation on the organization’s own workflows and permissions.

Koa FAQs
Is Koa generally available?
Salesforce says it is available to select pilot customers and expected U.S. general availability in winter 2026; confirm current status with the account team.
Can customers choose Koa in Agentforce?
The product page describes org-wide selection, per-agent and sub-agent choice, and a managed-model catalog option.
Was Koa trained on customer records?
Salesforce says its training corpus used synthetic scenarios and no customer data.
What does Koa cost?
No distinct Koa price was verified. Agentforce platform charges and pilot terms need an account-specific quote.
Bottom line
Our Koa verdict
Koa is worth a controlled Agentforce evaluation for organizations with complex CRM action flows and strict data boundaries. Treat the vendor’s reported benchmark gains as a reason to pilot, then decide from real action accuracy, governance, availability, and a written cost model.
