Level Up Your Salesforce Development using AI tools like Cursor AI, GitHub Copilot and Agentforce to boost productivity

Welcome to the Salesforce Development With AI course, where we will learn how to be a 10X Salesforce Developer in today’s Gen AI Era. We will learn how to use modern tools such as Cursor IDE, which is the first AI Code Editor. We will learn how to make VS Code a much more powerful Code Editor by installing GitHub Copilot, and also we will leverage Agentforce for Developer, which is Salesforce’s in-house AI Assistant. we will also work with Salesforce CLI to complete task which generally takes more time.

This course is designed to teach how to be more productive as a Salesforce Developer by utilizing the Salesforce CLI, which helps us work directly with the Salesforce metadata, making changes to the org components really fast compared to making changes from the Salesforce UI. Also, we will learn how to combine the Salesforce CLI with AI capabilities such as Cursor’s Composer feature or GitHub Copilot’s Edit with Copilot feature to solve a requirement much faster.

Cursor IDE is the first AI Code Editor, which allows developers to leverage multi-model LLM capabilities to use AI while writing code. Its Composer feature can create new components from scratch and can edit multiple files located in different folders. It can build a new LWC component just by referring to the image file uploaded. Its AI Chat tab allows developers to quickly generate code snippets, help in understanding the existing code in the codebase, and explain new topics right from the IDE. Cursor’s Auto-complete feature helps developers while writing code by suggesting the next line of code and code blocks. In this section, we will learn how to convert this generic AI developer to be a Salesforce Developer and, more importantly, to generate code that follows the standards set by your company or you, like following the naming convention while creating new Apex classes and LWCs.

Just like Cursor AI, GitHub Copilot is another powerful AI coding assistant that allows developers to leverage multi-model LLM capabilities to use AI while writing code. Its Edit with Copilot feature can create new components from scratch and can edit multiple files located in different folders. Its Copilot Chat tab allows developers to quickly generate code snippets, help in understanding the existing code in the codebase, and explain new topics right from the IDE. Just like Cursor, GitHub Copilot’s Auto-complete feature helps developers while writing code by suggesting the next line of code and code blocks. Using the copilot-instructions md file, we will learn how to train this AI Assistant to work as a Salesforce Developer and follow the standards set by your company or you, like following the naming convention while creating new Apex classes and LWCs.

Agentforce for Developer is Salesforce’s in-house AI Assistant and helps in generating code snippets, including Apex and LWC, using the Dev Assistant feature. Similarly, its Auto-complete feature helps developers while writing code by suggesting the next line of code and code blocks. We will learn about Salesforce’s internal LLM models Codegen and xGen-Code to see how they work in the backend.
