Dreamforce 2025 was a spectacular showcase of innovation, shining a spotlight on Salesforce’s next chapter: the Agentic Enterprise. From dynamic keynotes to live demos, the conference gave attendees a clear picture of how AI agents are transforming business operations. Here is a detailed recap of the biggest highlights.

The Agentic Enterprise Is Here
Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff and keynote host Matthew McConaughey introduced the Agentic Enterprise, where humans and AI agents collaborate seamlessly. This is not just about pilots or experiments. It is about building accountable, context-rich AI systems that enhance employee productivity.
Benioff emphasized three critical pillars for AI adoption: trust, data, and governance. Success comes from providing reliable context that guides AI agents safely across business processes, not just prompts.
Agentforce 360 Connects Everything
The spotlight of Dreamforce was Agentforce 360, which unifies Sales, Marketing, Commerce, Slack, Tableau, and MuleSoft under a single agentic layer.
Key benefits include:
- Agents communicating with each other
- Flexible choice of AI models
- Built-in governance controls
Over 300 industry-ready agents are designed for sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, and finance, enabling AI to scale across all departments.
Agentforce Vibes Brings Natural Language to Builders
Agentforce Vibes lets admins and developers describe what they need in plain language. For example, you can ask for a dashboard showing sales opportunities by region, and Salesforce generates the app, workflows, and data connections automatically.
This feature accelerates prototyping, reduces repetitive tasks, and allows faster deployment of automation without writing code.
Data 360 Powers the Agentic Brain
Data 360, formerly Data Cloud, is the intelligence layer of the Agentic Enterprise. It handles unstructured data, strengthens governance and masking, and delivers context directly to Slack and Agentforce apps.
Companies like FedEx showed how Data 360 helps diagnose incidents automatically, deflect tickets, and provide real-time insights, demonstrating the practical value of a unified data layer.
Slack Becomes the Agentic Workspace
Slack has evolved into the central hub for agentic interactions. Agents can:
- Surface insights and approvals
- Provide next-step prompts for sales teams
- Trigger IT remediation flows
While Slack remains the primary interface, Agentforce is designed to work in other platforms like Microsoft Teams, ensuring flexibility for diverse enterprise environments.
Real-World Agentic AI Adoption
Dreamforce highlighted customers already seeing results from agentic AI:
- Williams-Sonoma: The “Olive” agent helps customers plan gifts and manage escalations.
- Pandora: The “Gemma” agent keeps context across web and call interactions.
- PepsiCo: AI guides field technicians to act as sellers efficiently.
- Dell: Supplier onboarding reduced from 60 days to 20.
These examples show that agentic AI is more than a prototype; it is creating measurable impact for businesses.
Pricing and Scale for the Future
Salesforce introduced the Agentic Enterprise License Agreement, offering unlimited use of Agentforce and Data 360 with flexible credit models. With 12,000 customers already experimenting with Agentforce and a dedicated “Agentforce City” at Dreamforce, adoption is accelerating rapidly.
Key Insights for Businesses
Additional lessons from Dreamforce include:
- Start small, test quickly, and scale sustainably. Ground adoption in clean data and human-centric workflows.
- Enterprises need new architecture layers including semantic, AI/ML, agentic, and orchestration layers to support autonomous agents.
- Perfect data is not required to begin. Applications can drive data cleaning and structuring over time.
- Small and midsize businesses can adopt AI faster, delivering outsized results with lean teams.
Final Thoughts
Dreamforce 2025 made one thing clear: the Agentic Enterprise is no longer a distant concept; it is transforming the way businesses operate. Agentforce 360, Data 360, and Slack as an operational hub enable companies of all sizes to harness AI for smarter, faster, and more efficient outcomes.
The journey starts with trust, integrated data, governance, and human-AI collaboration. The future of business is agentic, and it is already here. Contact us at salesforce@cloudely.com to get started with Agentforce implementation.
