Salesforce and Anthropic Unite for Next-Gen Enterprise AI
Salesforce and Anthropic have announced Claudeforce, an expanded partnership that brings together the world's #1 AI (Claude) and #1 CRM. This strategic collaboration aims to power trusted enterprise action directly in Claude by combining Claude's intelligence and reasoning with Salesforce's data, workflows, business logic, actions, and governance.
The Claudeforce partnership launches with Salesforce in Claude, a Plugin that enables sellers and agents to reason over live revenue context, automate pipeline updates, and take governed action. This is made possible by AIforce, Salesforce's trusted enterprise harness that brings all business data and workflows to any agent through MCP servers, APIs, and CLI tools.
According to Marc Benioff, Chair & CEO of Salesforce, 'We're bringing together the best of both worlds... 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.' Dario Amodei, CEO & Co-Founder of Anthropic, added, 'We believe frontier intelligence should be safe, trusted, and deeply capable... This partnership brings this same frontier intelligence into the systems where much of the world's commercial activity happens.'
The Claudeforce partnership contains four key components: Salesforce inside Claude, Claude inside Salesforce, Slack (where humans and agents work together), and a partnership built on mutual adoption. Salesforce in Claude is available to select pilot customers now and expects to launch in open beta in September 2026.
