Salesforce Help Agent hit GA with $2 pay-per-resolution pricing.
Story
Agentforce's prebuilt service agent is generally available in July, charging a flat $2 only when it autonomously resolves an issue end to end. Per-outcome pricing is showing up across enterprise agent vendors now, and it changes vendor incentives from selling seats to actually closing tickets. Mirror this in how you evaluate any agent vendor: ask what they charge for, and whether it aligns with the outcome you care about.
