Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Q: What direct changes does Agentforce 360's "global availability" bring?

A: The unified enterprise-level closed loop of "people-agent-data" covers the entire Salesforce cloud. Combined with Slack's conversational AI and permission management, it can retrieve business data and execute processes in chats. It has served approximately 12,000 customers.

Q: In which scenarios will “AI+” be implemented first in China in the near future?

A: Government services, customer service and operations, cultural tourism and industrial parks, office collaboration and security assessment, etc., are showing a diffusion from "point to line to surface", and the assessment and compliance systems are being improved simultaneously.

Q: Why is TSMC generally optimistic this quarter?

A: AI training/inference drives the production capacity of advanced processes, driving third-quarter revenue to approximately +30% year-on-year and net profit expectations to +28%. Subsequent performance will depend on the high-end process and customer stocking rhythm in the fourth quarter.

Q: What is the industry significance of the Middle East “Stargate” computing power hub?

A: Building high-density AI clusters outside the United States to serve the Gulf and surrounding markets will help decentralize global computing power supply, but it is still affected by export licenses and geo-tech regulations.
