Salesforce and Anthropic Unveil Claudeforce Amid 'Saaspocalypse' Fears
Salesforce and Anthropic have expanded their strategic partnership, unveiling 'Claudeforce', a new tool that integrates Salesforce's sales platform with Anthropic's AI chatbot Claude. Claudeforce allows salespeople to access critical data directly from inside Claude, enabling them to compose emails, update records, and take other relevant actions.
The two companies plan to introduce more integrations across Claude, Salesforce, and Slack in the future, according to a joint interview with CNBC's Jim Cramer. This marks the first time Salesforce has added its 'force' suffix to another company's product name.
Salesforce shares rose 12% in extended trading after the announcement, beating Wall Street's expectations. Anthropic's annualized revenue run rate hit $65 billion at the end of July, a sevenfold increase from last year.
