Salesforce's AI Shift Boosts Stock Amid Digital Labor Success

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff is enthusiastic about the company's new AI agent platform, Agentforce, which has already secured 200 deals in its first quarter. The platform is expected to significantly boost Salesforce's revenue, with projections now reaching $37.8 to $38 billion for the fiscal year. Benioff envisions AI agents as digital collaborators that can work continuously, potentially transforming the workforce landscape. Despite the rise of AI, Salesforce plans to hire 1,400 salespeople to meet the growing demand for Agentforce, highlighting a blend of human and AI collaboration in the enterprise sector.
