Three days. Thousands of people. One unforgettable experience.
Dreamforce ’25 was a full-blown celebration of innovation. From the moment you stepped into the buzzing streets of San Francisco, you could feel it — that electric pulse of ideas, tech, and transformation radiating from every corner of the Moscone Center.
Big announcements, jaw-dropping demos, a mesmerizing concert, and a whirlwind of hands-on sessions — the Campground seemed alive with the energy of what’s next. Getting hands-on with new Salesforce innovations, experimenting with AI agent customization, and seeing firsthand how Agentforce 360 is changing the game was like witnessing the future unfold in real time.
Here are the biggest highlights and takeaways from Dreamforce 2025 that you absolutely shouldn’t miss.
Keynote Spotlight: Humans and AI, Side by Side
Marc Benioff opened Dreamforce 2025 with a rallying cry for a new era of Agentic Enterprise grounded in context, trust, and governance.
The keynote’s star announcement was the general availability of Agentforce 360, unifying Sales, Service, Marketing, Commerce, Slack, Tableau, and MuleSoft under one agentic architecture. The demos showcased a leap forward: instead of coding or dragging workflows, users can now prompt AI with natural language and see full-scale automation come to life.
At the heart of it all? Data 360 is Salesforce’s newly evolved data engine that is designed to give agents true reasoning capabilities, not just reactive intelligence.
Data 360: The Brain Behind the Agentic Enterprise
In one of the standout sessions, Rahul Auradkar, EVP and GM of Data Cloud, unveiled the rebirth of Salesforce’s data platform as Data 360.
This relaunch emphasises that Data isn’t about storage; it’s about activation. By linking structured and unstructured data, Data 360 gives agents the full picture. Its new Tableau Semantics feature aligns metrics and business definitions across every cloud, ensuring a consistent “language” of the enterprise.
The addition of Intelligent Context allows agents to understand and surface relevant information — from PDFs to diagrams — giving teams deeper insights with transparency and auditability.
For admins and builders, Salesforce introduced enhanced governance, sandboxes, and connectors, ensuring scale and compliance as AI becomes central to every process.
Power Partnerships: OpenAI and Anthropic Fuel the Next Wave
Salesforce’s agentic vision gets serious backing through deepened alliances with OpenAI and Anthropic.
- The OpenAI integration brings GPT-based models directly into the platform, enhancing generative AI capabilities across every Salesforce product.
- Anthropic’s Claude brings advanced reasoning and safety layers for industries that demand compliance (like healthcare or finance) ensuring AI innovation doesn’t come at the cost of trust.
Together, these partnerships underscore Salesforce’s commitment to responsible intelligence, pushing the frontier while keeping governance and ethics front and center.
Admin Innovation: Building Trust, Scale, and Oversight
Beyond the big announcements, Dreamforce 2025 delivered plenty for the Salesforce builders’ community — admins, developers, and architects alike.
The Salesforce Admin Blog highlighted enhancements to the fictional Coral Cloud and offered an early look at new tools designed for agent oversight and AI governance — giving admins greater control in the age of intelligent automation.
Meanwhile, the Salesforce Admin Guide to Dreamforce 2025 outlined key updates to Data Cloud Sandbox tooling, along with improved management practices and clearer migration paths to help teams scale confidently.
And under the hood, Salesforce showcased how it built a DevOps AI Agent powered by Agentforce, Data Cloud, and Slack integration — a live example of how the platform can orchestrate complex, technical workflows in real time.
The Bottom Line: From CRM to Cognitive Orchestration
In Dreamforce 2025, Salesforce positioning itself not as a CRM company, but as the Agentic Enterprise, where data, people, and agents work in unison.
The concept of Agentic Enterprize signals a future where organizations don’t just automate tasks; they empower decisions.
The next challenge lies not in adopting AI, but in integrating it meaningfully — building enterprises that are not only smart but deeply human.
