This year, Salesforce focused on empowering enterprises with smarter AI agents, unified data, and seamless workflows that will deliver real-time, personalized customer experiences.
From the Main Keynote to deep dives on Agentforce 360, Data 360, and marketing innovations, we’ve curated the most impactful announcements that will shape the future of enterprise technology.
Dreamforce 2025: Main Keynote Highlights
As usual, the main keynote gave a quick overview of where Salesforce is heading and what the future of business looks like. Marc Benioff took the stage to share the company’s vision, focusing on AI, smarter workflows, and better customer experiences. He showcased how Agentforce 360 helps companies build AI agents that deliver accurate, consistent, and personalized answers.
A major announcement was that Agentforce will now be the central platform for everything Salesforce builds. All agents, workflows, prompts, and data tools will live in AgentForce, enabling organizations to orchestrate agents across topics and departments seamlessly. It’s a single hub where all AI-powered capabilities connect and work together. Along with this, Dreamforce featured a short demo of Agentforce Vibes, showcasing how quickly and intuitively apps and automations can be built just from descriptions.
While these updates will make agents smarter and more capable, data remains the key to getting them up and running effectively. That’s why Salesforce introduced Data 360, the next evolution of Data Cloud, to provide connected, context-rich, and actionable data for powering Agentforce and other enterprise workflows.
Customer stories added real weight to the announcement. Leading brands like Williams‑Sonoma Inc., PepsiCo, FedEx, Dell Technologies, and Pandora were spotlighted as early adopters using Agentforce to transform service, operations, and customer engagement.
The All-New Agentforce 360

Having 12,000 customers already, Agentforce has now evolved into Agentforce 360, the intelligent foundation of Salesforce’s AI ecosystem. It brings together every capability, from reasoning and orchestration to contextual understanding and voice, into one unified platform. With Agentforce 360, Salesforce is not just building smarter agents but enabling enterprises to create, customize, and scale AI across every department. The platform introduces four key capabilities: Agent Script, Agent Builder, Intelligent Context, and Agentforce Voice, each designed to make agents more capable, contextual, and human-like.
1. Agent Script (Beta)
Salesforce is opening up the power of its reasoning engine through Agent Script, enabling developers to design how AI agents think, respond, and act. With customizable logic and structured reasoning flows, teams can now guide the agent’s behavior for consistent, reliable outcomes. This makes every interaction more predictable, accurate, and aligned with the brand’s goals, allowing businesses to fine-tune responses for complex enterprise use cases.
2. Agent Builder (Beta)
With Agent Builder, anyone can create and deploy AI agents using simple language instead of complex prompts or code. This intuitive, low-code environment enables users to describe what they want the agent to do in plain language, while Salesforce handles the logic in the background. You can easily connect agents to Salesforce data, define workflows, and orchestrate collaboration between multiple agents across departments. Whether it’s sales, service, or marketing, Agent Builder empowers teams to launch intelligent, context-aware agents that are ready to scale.
3. Intelligent Context (GA October 2025)

To help AI handle real-world complexity, Salesforce introduced Intelligent Context, enabling agents to reason over unstructured and dynamic data. This feature ensures every agent understands the full picture, from customer histories to emails and CRM data, before responding. By combining structured CRM insights with unstructured information, Intelligent Context powers responses that are more relevant, accurate, and human-like.
4. AgentForce Voice (GA October 2025)
Agentforce Voice brings conversational AI to life with natural, real-time voice interactions inside Salesforce. It’s designed to make customer conversations more human-like, with the ability to recognize nicknames, handle interruptions, and maintain full context throughout the dialogue. When a conversation is transferred to a live agent, the complete transcript and context are instantly available, allowing for a seamless handoff and uninterrupted customer experience. With this, Salesforce enables a unified voice solution that connects AI and human service effortlessly across every customer interaction.
Enhancing AI with Process Intelligence: Salesforce is leaving no stone unturned to make Agentforce truly powerful. At Dreamforce 2025, the recent acquisition of Apromore adds a critical layer of process intelligence to Agentforce 360. By leveraging Apromore’s process mining, simulation, and digital twin capabilities, AI agents now understand how work flows through an organization, reducing errors, ensuring compliance, and enabling enterprise-scale automation with confidence.
