Salesforce keynote speech at Dreamforce 2024, outlining the company's new AI-powered agent force platform. The speech highlights the platform’s ability to automate tasks and improve customer experiences through agents that can reason, learn, and take action. The platform is built upon Salesforce’s existing data cloud, customer 360, and low-code tools. It is intended to augment human employees, drive customer success, and deliver better business results for companies. The speech concludes with a call to action for attendees to become agent force “Trailblazers” and deploy their own agents at the conference.

Agent Force

Salesforce Foundations es el nuevo framework de Salesforce que ofrece marketing, ventas, servicio, comercio, AI (AgentForce) y manejo de datos del cliente (Data Cloud) todo bajo una sola plataforma.

Salesforce Foundations ahora requiere administradores del ecosistema centrados en la relación con el cliente, en lugar de gestores de departamentos individuales o módulos, para supervisar las capacidades de CRM, datos, omnicanalidad e IA.

Salesforce Foundations: Maneja la relación del cliente desde el inicio

"What's the point if it's a fast platform, but I still have to go somewhere else? And the last thing is speed. Right now, especially in our region, it's a land grab. When we think about some of the fastest-growing economies in the world—Indonesia, for example, Vietnam, the Philippines—you have hundreds of millions of people here. What we see in every customer I speak to is interest in how they use our platform to move faster, to deploy AI. They don't want to have to build a foundation level of AI, integrating all those elements themselves. They want to deploy it faster. When you think about our history, we have 250 petabytes of data being accessed by 150,000 customers every single day. When you take that set, we had to get this right. We had to because we have thousands of engineers focused on building these platforms so our customers don't have to—so they can deploy innovation and create truly unique and differentiated customer journeys." - Sujith Abraham

Fresh out of the studio, Sabastian Niles, President and Chief Legal Officer at Salesforce Global, joins us to explore how trust and responsibility shape the future of enterprise AI. He shares his journey from being a high-tech corporate lawyer and trusted advisor to leading AI governance at a company whose number one value is trust, reflecting on the evolution from automation to agentic AI that can reason, plan, and execute tasks alongside humans. Sabastian explains how Agentforce 3.0 enables agent-to-agent interactions and human-AI collaboration through command centers and robust guardrails. He highlights how organizations are leveraging trusted AI for personalized customer experiences, while Salesforce's Office of Ethical and Humane Use operationalizes trust through transparency, explainability, and auditability. Addressing the black box problem in AI, he emphasizes that guardrails provide confidence to move faster rather than creating barriers. Closing the conversation, Sabastian shares his vision on what great looks like for trusted agentic AI at scale.

"You can try to develop self-awareness and take a beginner's mind in all things. This includes being open to feedback and truly listening, even when it might be hard to receive. I think that's been something I've really tried to practice. The other area is recognizing that just like a company or country, as humans we have many stakeholders. You may wear many hats in different ways. So as we think of the totality of your life over time, what's your portfolio of passions? How do you choose—as individuals, as society, as organizations, as humans and families with our loved ones and friends—to not just spend your time and resources, but really invest your time, resources, and spirit into areas, people, and contexts that bring you meaning and where you can build a legacy? So it's not so much advice, but more like a north star." - Sabastian V. Niles
