Customers can now get automated intelligence for instant ability to measure execution, evaluate compliance, and exceed brand standards on mobile through AI Agent for Agentforce

QUINCY, Mass., April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — FORM today announced an AI Agent for Agentforce to its GoSpotCheck field execution software. With GoSpotCheck’s AI Agent, Consumer Goods teams have an easy, automated way to analyze on-shelf performance and receive recommendations at the shelf—all from a photo captured within the GoSpotCheck app.

Agentforce is the agentic layer of the Salesforce Platform for deploying autonomous AI agents across any business function. Agentforce includes a set of tools to create and customize agents, as well as a library of pre-built skills for any use case across sales, service, marketing and commerce, MuleSoft, Tableau, Slack, partners and more.

GoSpotCheck’s solution already uses AI to allow teams to automatically collect critical in-store data—including share of shelf, out-of-stocks, pricing, and planogram compliance—using image recognition integrated with its task management app. Teams can snap photos of any set in-store and instantly receive on-device insights into execution and compliance. Now, GoSpotCheck, when paired with Salesforce Consumer Goods Cloud, can automatically summarize and manipulate that data to create an AI Agent that guides teams on what actions to take next. For example, the AI Agent can determine whether a certain product or brand qualifies for a discount based on the app’s shelf share calculations, which helps teams ensure contract compliance and make smarter, data-driven decisions.

“Our new AI Agent does exactly what AI is supposed to do: automate a tedious process so field teams can spend more time building relationships with customers and executing strategy,” said Alexander Zagvazdin, Chief Product Officer for FORM. “By using Agentforce, we’re leveraging cutting-edge technology to help our customers keep up with the pace of business in a way that works best for them.”

GoSpotCheck’s AI Agent is available on Salesforce’s AppExchange on both mobile and desktop applications.

“Salesforce’s leading partner ecosystem is at the forefront of the AI enterprise, where humans and AI come together through autonomous agents and agent actions,” said Brian Landsman, EVP, Global Technology Partners, Salesforce. “These latest innovations boost scale, efficiency, and satisfaction across a variety of use cases, while enabling agents to execute complex tasks across an organization’s technology stack. We look forward to seeing our customers take full advantage of these and experience better business outcomes.”

Used by Fortune 500 companies including some of North America’s largest consumer goods and retail brands, GoSpotCheck gives industry leaders visibility into daily operations, sales, and merchandising activities using intuitive workflows and image recognition technology. After a record-breaking year of growth in 2024, GoSpotCheck’s collaboration with Agentforce is an extension of that success.

“We are the clear industry leader with our integration of AI for real-life, practical use cases,” said Ali Moosani, CEO of FORM. “Our industry-first augmented reality capabilities and this new AI Agent prove why GoSpotCheck is the field execution platform of choice for the world’s largest CPG, food and beverage, and retail brands. But we have just scratched the surface of what AI will do to empower our customers, and we are excited to deliver even more operational efficiencies soon.”

Yon Raz-Fridman Joins Intrinsic Labs as Co-Founder and Partner

Published

1 hour ago

April 30, 2026

Most AI companies are selling software. Intrinsic is deploying AI workers into the core operations of mid-market companies – and just brought in a serial tech entrepreneur to help the firm scale across the Heartland.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Intrinsic Labs today announced that Yon Raz-Fridman has joined the firm as a Co-Founder and Partner.

Raz-Fridman has spent nearly two decades building across software, hardware, and platform businesses. Early in his career, he served as Chief of Staff to the President of Keter Group, a $1 billion-plus global consumer products manufacturer. He went on to co-found Kano, the award-winning educational computing company, and later founded Supersocial, the immersive gaming studio acquired by Super League Enterprises in 2025. He is a member of the World Economic Forum’s Technology Convergence Council.

He joins Intrinsic at a moment when mid-market companies are moving from AI experimentation to deployment. Intrinsic works with operators in logistics, construction, insurance, manufacturing, and industrial markets to deploy AI workers into the workflows that run the business – increasing throughput, reducing manual work, and expanding capacity without adding headcount.

The firm has built its reputation on practical deployments tied to real operating metrics. In one engagement with a national real estate brokerage, Intrinsic’s AI Accounting Agents reached 97% invoice coding accuracy, automated 90% of the AP workflow, and fully removed FTEs from the review flow.

“Yon understands what it takes to build and scale in the real world,” said Jon Slemp, Managing Partner at Intrinsic Labs. “Our clients aren’t buying flashy agents, they’re buying outcomes and reliable labor. They need agentic systems that take work off their teams, perform reliably, and produce measurable gains in throughput and capacity. That’s what we build.”

As Co-Founder, Raz-Fridman will oversee Intrinsic’s expansion – designing the channel relationships, institutional partnerships, and market positioning that take the firm from a proven Ohio model to the defining AI workforce platform for America’s industrial middle market.

“The companies that win over the next decade will be the ones that figure out how to staff AI into their operations and manage it like a workforce. Intrinsic is doing that work now, inside real businesses, tied to real outputs. The Heartland is exactly the right place to prove this model, and Intrinsic is exactly the right team to do it.” — Yon Raz-Fridman
