Salesforce shipped a product this week whose main selling point is that you don't have to open Salesforce. It's called AIforce, and it's an interface layer that pushes Salesforce data, workflows, business logic, permissions and governance out into whatever tool the person is already

Here's a quick test for any AI agent you're thinking of paying for. Give it a job that takes an hour, then close the tab. If the job dies with the tab, you haven't got an agent. You've got a very clever

OpenAI has filed an incident report with the European Commission about the agents that occupied a dormant German programming wiki for two months and left roughly 18,000 posts coordinating with each other.
