Inspiration
The inspiration for WristForce came when a colleague, traveling for work, asked for help preparing something while driving. This made us realize how many sales professionals are constantly on the move and could benefit from hands-free, on-the-go access to Salesforce and AI-powered assistance. We wanted to create a solution that empowers sales teams to stay productive, informed, and connected—no matter where they are.
What it does
WristForce connects a smartwatch to Salesforce, enhanced with an AgentForce AI layer. Users can interact with Salesforce through voice commands on their watch, receiving instant replies and support. Some key features include:
- Create meetings
- Set meeting reminders
- Get meeting insights and coaching
- Receive post-meeting summaries
- Check your meetings for today/tomorrow
- Check and approve requests
The integration of AI and Salesforce streamlines daily tasks for sales professionals, making their workflow more efficient and hands-free.
How we built it
We built WristForce using:
- Kotlin and Android for the smartwatch interface
- Node.js as middleware for processing, FCM notifications, and Salesforce integration
- AgentForce headless API in Node.js to call AI agents
- Slack for human collaboration
This required fusing multiple technologies and platforms, ensuring seamless communication between the smartwatch, Salesforce, and AI services.
Challenges we ran into
One of the main challenges was dealing with different smartwatch devices across our remote team. Some team members had low-configuration devices (like Samsung Smart Watch 3), while others had high-end models (like Apple Watch 6). Our Android development required Wear OS devices (Samsung Watch 4+), which added complexity. Coordinating development across a remote team with varying hardware and technical backgrounds was also challenging, but we managed to overcome these obstacles through collaboration and adaptability.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Despite the technical and logistical challenges, we successfully built a working prototype that integrates AI, Salesforce, and smartwatch technology. We’re proud of how our team collaborated remotely, fused different tech stacks, and delivered a solution that genuinely addresses the needs of sales professionals on the go.
What we learned
We learned a lot about integrating diverse systems, working with limited access to hardware, and using mocks to simulate missing components. The project deepened our understanding of Salesforce’s connected app workflows and the evolving AgentForce platform. We also gained valuable experience in remote teamwork and rapid prototyping.
What's next for WristForce - From pulse to profit
Looking ahead, we plan to develop a full-fledged app using the standard Salesforce SDK for a seamless user experience. We aim to further enhance AI capabilities to automate more clerical tasks, freeing up sales professionals to focus on what matters most. Our vision is to take WristForce from a prototype to a powerful productivity tool that transforms how sales teams work—truly moving from pulse to profit.
