Salesforce Agentforce: Agentforce is a relatively new platform but has already evolved at an extremely rapid pace. It was first unveiled in September 2024, became generally available the following month, added testing and agent lifecycle management tools in November, announced integration with Slack and other platforms in December, added autonomous agents that can take action on their own this past March, and also launched an agent marketplace at the same time with more than 200 partners. Then Salesforce added native MCP support in June as well as an array of new MCP integration partners including AWS, Box, Cisco, Google Cloud, IBM, Notion, PayPal and Stripe.As of September, Salesforce said it had closed more than 12,500 new deals since Agentforce was launched.”Salesforce wants to be the agentic center of the universe,” says Peter Nebel, chief strategy officer at AllCloud, a cloud consultancy.On the same month, a critical vulnerability in Salesforce’s Agentforce was disclosed. The vulnerability could trick the AI agent into leaking sensitive CRM data through indirect prompt injection. It has since been patched.The basic security and compliance agents are available today. CrowdStrike integration is expected later this year. In early 2026, Salesforce will add autonomous threat detection and triaging, access to agents via Slack, and custom data compliance policies.
