  1. Salesforce Unveils Claudeforce and Schedules Agentforce Winter 27 Release

    Salesforce is integrating AI agents into full enterprise workflows with the upcoming Agentforce Winter 27 release on October 12, 2026. The company recently launched Claudeforce, a joint product with Anthropic that applies Claude reasoning to Salesforce customer data. This strategy aims to prove that AI expands the business rather than replacing it. Early production outcomes include PowerSchool, which has over 550 users and a 13% lift in commerce conversion. These developments follow a second quarter where Salesforce reported 11.35B in revenue and raised its full-year guidance.

    Salesforce reported record Q2 fiscal 2027 results with $11.35B revenue, beating estimates, and raised its full-year revenue guidance.
