Salesforce Partners with Anthropic to Launch Claudeforce
<p">Salesforce and Anthropic partnered to launch Claudeforce, bringing Claude's intelligence and reasoning together with Salesforce's trusted enterprise harness to make its data, workflows, business logic, actions, and governance securely accessible to power agentic experiences wherever work happens.
The Claudeforce partnership launches with Salesforce in Claude, a plugin with 37 prebuilt sales skills, including meeting prep, deal health review, and pipeline review, that enable sellers and agents to reason over live revenue context, automate pipeline updates, and take governed action right from Claude. The companies plan to introduce more integrations across Claude, Salesforce, and Slack, expanding each company's use of the other's technologies.
Salesforce in Claude is made possible by AIforce, Salesforce's enterprise harness that brings business data and workflows to any agent through model context protocol (MCP) servers, APIs, and command-line interface tools. It also includes an onboarding experience that reads sellers' enterprise context from Salesforce, Slack, and any connector in Claude to stand up tailored dashboards with their accounts, pipeline, and live data surfaced in interactive views that Claude generates.
"We're bringing together the world's #1 AI and #1 CRM — the best of both worlds. Today, we're launching Claudeforce, running directly on top of Salesforce via our new AIforce UI harness, Headless 360, Data 360, Tableau, and Slack. Here, the UI is the AI, allowing you to build custom apps dynamically and answer any enterprise question. Probabilistic intelligence alone doesn't run a company, and deterministic systems don't reason. By fusing Claude's extraordinary reasoning with the trusted data, workflows, and governance every enterprise runs on, we're delivering a dynamic interface that thinks, reasons, and acts. This is how every business will run," said Marc Benioff, chairman and CEO of Salesforce, in a statement.
"We believe frontier intelligence should be safe, trusted, and deeply capable, which is why the world's leading businesses turn to Claude for their most important work. Salesforce in Claude brings this same frontier intelligence into the systems where much of the world's commercial activity happens. Through this partnership, companies can point Claude at the customer information and business context that they've been building in Salesforce for decades, and use it to actually run and grow their businesses," said Dario Amodei, CEO and co-founder of Anthropic, in a statement.
Claude is available in Agentforce, serving as a reasoning model for the Atlas Reasoning Engine, powering Agentforce Vibes and Agentforce Coworker by default, and available in Agent Builder. And through Amazon Bedrock, Claude is available within the Salesforce Trust Boundary, allowing customers to deploy domain-specific AI while keeping data and AI workloads secure.
Through this expanded partnership, Claude is the default model for Slack and serves as the intelligent backbone across every layer of the Slack experience: powering Slackbot to supercharge personal productivity by default, augmenting team decision-making via Claude Tag, and accelerating multiplayer coding as a founding partner for Slack Code. Rather than managing disparate tools, teams can now reason through complex decisions alongside Claude in Slack and instantly execute governed, high-value actions in Salesforce without leaving the flow of work.
Salesforce is Anthropic's preferred CRM and connects communication, workflows, and agents through Slack, its preferred multi-player work platform for internal teams. Salesforce Shield, Backup, and Sandboxes support security, resilience, and development. Building on that foundation, new capabilities, spanning headless experiences, connected data, and automation, will power stronger scale across customer engagement.
Claude is the AI model powering Slackbot for Salesforce, Slack AI, Slackbot, Salesforce in Claude, Headless 360, Agentforce Coworker, and Claude Code. Salesforce will make Claude Code and Claude Enterprise available to all of its developers and knowledge workers as the company's preferred AI assistant and productivity tools, and Claude is the first LLM provider fully integrated within the Salesforce Trust Boundary.
