Salesforce and Anthropic Expand Partnership With Claudeforce Plugin

Salesforce and Anthropic announced an expanded strategic partnership on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, that embeds Salesforce's customer data and business workflows directly into Anthropic's Claude chatbot through a new plugin called Claudeforce. The partnership, which deepens a relationship where Salesforce is already a major investor and customer of Anthropic, aims to allow sales teams to automate tasks and manage pipelines without leaving the Claude interface. The core of the announcement is a plugin named Salesforce in Claude, which launches with 37 prebuilt sales skills developed jointly by the two companies.
