Salesforce and Anthropic are announcing Claudeforce, an expanded strategic partnership 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 that enable sellers and agents to reason over live revenue context, automate pipeline updates, and take governed action right from Claude — with the power of Salesforce directly where sellers work.
The Claudeforce partnership brings together the best of both worlds — Claude brings intelligence and judgment, reasoning, adapting, and deciding in real time. Salesforce provides the data, rules, and trusted workflows that turn that judgment into enterprise-ready action.
Salesforce inside Claude understands the sellers' entire revenue cycle and acts on it, giving them an AI CRO. Skills were built by Salesforce and Anthropic, engineered specifically to draw on Claude's reasoning, agentic tool use, and generative UI. This includes an onboarding experience that reads a seller's enterprise context — Salesforce, Slack, and any connector in Claude — to stand up a tailored dashboard with accounts, pipeline, and live data in interactive views.
No two companies run sales exactly the same, so Salesforce in Claude routes actions through Salesforce to ensure business rules are always enforced. Setup is seamless with central authentication and permissions management, giving every seller access from day one.
"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, Chair & CEO, Salesforce.
Claude combines multistep reasoning and complex task execution with Anthropic's rigorous approach to safety and interpretability. 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. Through Amazon Bedrock, Claude is available within the Salesforce Trust Boundary, allowing regulated industries to deploy domain-specific AI while keeping data secure.
Slack brings people and agents together in flow of work. By embedding Claude directly into Slack, Salesforce bridges the gap between team dialogue and autonomous enterprise action. Claude is the default model for Slack and serves as intelligent backbone across Slackbot, Claude Tag, and Slack Code.
"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 & Co-Founder, Anthropic.
Salesforce and Anthropic are also strategic customers of one another. Salesforce is Anthropic's preferred CRM and Slack is its preferred multiplayer work platform. Internally, Slackbot has driven 8.1M hours of annualized productivity gains at Salesforce. Salesforce will make Claude Code and Claude Enterprise available to all developers and knowledge workers as preferred AI assistant.
