Key takeaways
Salesforce introduced AIforce, positioning the platform's APIs, metadata, permissions, and governance as the underlying capabilities agents can access through any interface without a Salesforce UI.
Salesforce announced Koa, its first purpose-built CRM reasoning model, developed in partnership with NVIDIA on the Nemotron 3 Super architecture; Salesforce states Koa was 14% better than internal benchmarks at retaining context, 15% more relevant in answers, and 11% more precise on tool calls in internal pilots.
Slack was positioned as the front-door work operating system for the AI era, with Slack Code enabling developer teams to collaborate with coding agents in shared channels.
Salesforce outlined a six-capability Enterprise AI Harness: Trusted models, Trusted context, Trusted agency, Trusted actions, Trusted governance, and Trusted security, unified by an AI control plane.
Fulton Bank was cited as a customer that went from hearing about Agentforce to first agent in one hour, to power users in one week, to 3,000 employees using it six weeks later, with Hunter handling $340,000 of at-risk pipeline reengagement.
Southwest Airlines was cited as achieving millions in productivity gains and 7x ROI on its AI assistant in a relatively short time frame.
A separate referenced article states Salesforce Ventures has deployed over $850 million of its $1 billion AI Fund.
