Evidence: Official Announcement
Availability: Published
Summary: Salesforce describes long-horizon agents as systems that work with users toward goals over time, continue across multiple sessions, and adapt behavior as circumstances change.
Why it matters: For non-technical users, the important shift is from one-shot task automation to agents that maintain a goal, resume work, and adjust as new information arrives.
What to do now
Define persistent agent goals: For recurring work, specify the goal, checkpoints, changing inputs, and conditions that require human review.
