Salesforce unveiled AIforce, an AI interface platform that connects AI models with customer information, workflows, permissions, business rules and other data stored in its enterprise applications, at the Dreamforce 2026 keynote. [^1]

Chairman and CEO Marc Benioff said the platform brings together four layers: enterprise data, applications and their business semantics, AI agents, and a new interface. He said models alone cannot run the enterprise, because they are probabilistic and not grounded in a single set of truth the way traditional Salesforce apps are. [^2]

The platform's enterprise AI harness combines data, business knowledge, workflows and controls, letting models do useful work across systems rather than just answering questions. [^3]
