Salesforce Open‑Sources Agent Script for Deterministic Agents
Salesforce announced it open-sourced Agent Script at TDX 2026. Agent Script is a block-based, indentation-sensitive specification language for deterministic agent orchestration that separates execution from specification. It adds first-class typed variables, deterministic routing (transitions), and explicit before_reasoning/after_reasoning hooks that let code control when LLM reasoning is invoked and how outputs are handled. The language maps to Agentforce actions (Apex, Flows, MuleSoft and external APIs) via an @actions namespace and includes tooling — parser, linter, LSP, VS Code extension and a Monaco playground — hosted at github.com/salesforce/agentscript. Salesforce positions Agent Script as a way to make production agent workflows auditable, unit-testable and safer, and the project was presented as part of the Headless 360 initiative.
An open-source, deterministic orchestration language from Salesforce affects enterprise conversational/agent deployments and MarTech/CRM workflows by enabling auditable, testable routing and integrations with existing Apex/Flow/MuleSoft actions; notable for production reliability but not industry-shifting.

Salesforce Unveils Agentforce 360 for Agentic Enterprise
Salesforce unveiled Agentforce 360, the most comprehensive version of its Agentforce platform, introducing Agentforce Builder (Beta in Nov 2025), Agent Script (Beta in Nov 2025), Agentforce Voice (from Oct 21, 2025), Intelligent Context (from Oct 2025), Atlas Reasoning Engine with Google Gemini support alongside OpenAI and Anthropic, and Agentforce Vibes, an AI coding tool. The company frames Agents as productive enterprise components within a 'controlled autonomy' model, defined by clear rules and governance. The expansion is driven by partner integrations: Gemini models embedded in Atlas Reasoning and available in Slack and Google Workspace; bidirectional links between Agentforce apps and ChatGPT; and the Agentic Commerce Protocol enabling in-chat product showcases with CRM feedback. Salesforce highlights a Trust Layer to mask inputs and restrict external training, while internal cadence shows 80–120 Agent updates weekly and early gains in IT service management and ticket handling. Alex Wallner emphasizes data readiness and cultural change as key adoption levers in the DACH region.
Salesforce launches Headless 360 — agent-first APIs
Salesforce announced 'Headless 360', a move to expose the full Salesforce platform (including Agentforce and Slack integrations) as APIs, MCP tools, and CLI commands so AI agents can access data, workflows and tasks without a browser. The newsletter frames the launch as a strategic embrace of agent-driven workflows that threatens traditional per-seat SaaS economics and could shift pricing toward consumption (per-call, per-outcome). Salesforce also introduced Agent Script, an open-sourced DSL to define auditable state machines that mix deterministic business logic with probabilistic AI steps, addressing enterprise concerns about agent brittleness. The piece argues this is a short-term revenue tradeoff for potential long-term growth if consumption pricing scales.
Salesforce Launches Agentforce: AI Revolutionizes Enterprise Solutions
Salesforce’s Agentforce is an enterprise agentic-AI platform introduced at Dreamforce 2024 that combines low-code agent building tools (Agent Builder, Model Builder, Prompt Builder) with Salesforce data products (Data 360 / Customer 360) and integrations (Heroku, MuleSoft, Slack, Tableau). Salesforce has iterated Agentforce via releases (Agentforce 3, Agentforce 360) adding observability (Command Center), MCP support, industry vertical packs (Retail, Financial Services, Field Service, HR, Manufacturing, Revenue, Public Sector, IT Service), and new pricing options (conversational pricing, Flex Credits, Flex Agreement, PUPM). Notable product additions include Intent-Aware Search for Agentforce Commerce (March 2026) powered by Cimulate and an Agentforce Contact Center (March 2026). Salesforce has pursued partner and security integrations (Agentforce Partner Network, CrowdStrike) and made acquisitions to bolster agentic automation and analytics (Apromore, Spindle AI, and agreement to acquire Cimulate). Salesforce reports thousands of paid deals and internal usage of Agentforce in support.
