Five Big Ideas Coming Out of Dreamforce 2026
Salesforce launches AIforce, opening its platform capabilities to any AI agent without requiring the Salesforce UI.
“Agents need a different entrance into the enterprise. That's why we opened up Salesforce and all of its trusted capabilities to any AI, any interface, any agent, without requiring a Salesforce UI.”— Marc Benioff
At Dreamforce 2026, Salesforce unveiled AIforce, which exposes its 27 years of APIs, metadata, permissions, and business logic to any AI agent or interface without needing the Salesforce UI. This reframes enterprise software around agents rather than screens, letting users build and operate via natural-language prompts, and signals a broader industry shift toward headless, agent-first enterprise applications.
