Project
Salesforce's enterprise harness exposing platform data, workflows, business logic, actions and governance controls to AI agents, models and interfaces.
At Dreamforce 2026 Salesforce showed a way into its software with no user interface at all. The analysts who covered the event say the pricing is unsettled and the agent stack underneath is still early.
Reality
The Dreamforce release says every AIforce request runs on the permissions already configured in Salesforce and every action routes back through it. The reading it enables spans hundreds of records at once, and the page layout is gone.
Reality
Claudeforce launches with 37 prebuilt sales skills inside Anthropic's assistant, and Salesforce says actions route back through its platform so the org's rules still apply. The permission sets decide what a skill can write.
Reality
AIforce opens Salesforce data, workflows and permissions to Claude, Slack and its own Lightning screen with no migration. The adoption figure it gave for Agentforce Coworker counts activations over 35 days.
Reality
Koa was trained on synthetic data drawn from nearly 30 years of Salesforce deployments and runs inside Agentforce, where Anthropic's Claude now arrives as Claudeforce with 37 prebuilt skills. Admins get two model layers to answer for.
Reality
Salesforce is pushing its business logic and permissions into other companies' interfaces. For the admin rolling this out, the decision is which permission set a skill runs under when it fires from a chat window.
Reality
cRPO of $33.5bn, up 14%, is the metric the market trades on. $440m of Informatica revenue now sits inside the subscription line that feeds it. Back out the current portion and the remainder grew about 8%.
Reality
Thirty-seven prebuilt sales skills put Salesforce data and rules inside Claude. Salesforce keeps enforcement and the system of record; Anthropic gets the interface sellers actually sit in.
Reality
Contracted revenue due in the next twelve months grew 14%, faster than the full book. But the $200 million guidance raise is, arithmetically, the two pending acquisitions.
