Salesforce and Anthropic announced Claudeforce, a strategic partnership integrating Claude’s AI reasoning with Salesforce’s enterprise platform. The collaboration launches with Salesforce in Claude, a plugin offering 37 prebuilt sales skills that allow users to analyze revenue data, update pipelines, and execute governed actions without leaving the Claude interface. The integration leverages Salesforce’s AIforce, a trusted enterprise harness that connects business data and workflows via MCP servers, APIs, and CLI tools, eliminating the need for complex integrations.

The partnership expands access to Salesforce’s capabilities within Claude, enabling real-time reasoning over live revenue context and governed automation. Salesforce in Claude dynamically tailors dashboards to individual sellers by reading enterprise context from Salesforce, Slack, and other connectors, surfacing interactive views of accounts and pipelines. Actions are routed through Salesforce to enforce business rules, with setup requiring a single admin connection and no per-user configuration, ensuring immediate team-wide access.

Claude’s multistep reasoning and task execution are combined with Anthropic’s safety and interpretability standards, making it available in Salesforce’s Agentforce and Amazon Bedrock within the Salesforce Trust Boundary. This ensures secure deployment for regulated industries. The partnership also embeds Claude into Slack, serving as the default model for Slackbot, Claude Tag, and Slack Code, enabling teams to reason through decisions and execute governed actions in Salesforce without leaving Slack.

Both companies are strategic customers of each other, with Salesforce adopting Claude across its platforms and Anthropic using Salesforce as its preferred CRM. Salesforce reports Slackbot, powered by Claude, has driven 8.1 million hours of annualized productivity gains internally. The collaboration aims to scale agentic experiences, connected data, and automation to transform enterprise workflows.
