Salesforce and Anthropic Announce Claudeforce: The #1 AI Meets the #1 AI CRM

Salesforce

Expanded partnership brings Claude's reasoning together with the data, workflows, business logic, actions, and governance of the Salesforce platform to power trusted enterprise action directly in Claude

SAN FRANCISCO, August 26, 2026--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 companies plan to introduce more integrations across Claude, Salesforce, and Slack, expanding each company's use of the other's technologies.

Salesforce in Claude is made possible by AIforce — Salesforce's trusted enterprise harness that brings all your business data and workflows to any agent through MCP servers, APIs, and CLI tools, without complicated and costly integrations. Salesforce in Claude marks a new era of enterprise AI. For decades, enterprise software required users to manually navigate static UI to get work done. Now that agents can access the data, workflows, and rules directly, software is a system that powers every interface.

"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." – Marc Benioff, Chair & CEO, Salesforce

"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." – Dario Amodei, CEO & Co-Founder, Anthropic
