Share the canonical public link.
Marc Benioff told Bloomberg on May 22, 2026 that forward-looking marketing of AI capabilities is standard in the tech industry. A promotional video from October 2025 showed a healthcare network using Agentforce for patient appointment booking, though the network still uses humans and has delayed full rollout due to compliance reviews. Some agentic capabilities shown in presentations are not yet widely deployed while others have delivered results such as a 20% reduction in service calls for one customer. Salesforce has reported that some Agentforce adopters have at least doubled their annual spending with the company.
