Salesforce and Anthropic expanded their partnership by unveiling Claudeforce, a plugin embedding 37 pre-built sales skills directly into Anthropic's Claude chatbot, letting users draft emails, update records and perform other CRM tasks. It's the first time Salesforce has attached its 'force' branding to another company's product, with more integrations across Claude, Salesforce and Slack planned. The news came alongside Salesforce's fiscal second-quarter earnings, which beat Wall Street estimates.

Anthropic revised Claude Tag, its Slack-based agent, so it now analyzes entire conversation threads instead of assessing messages individually. The company says this context upgrade makes the agent about 30% more accurate at judging when to jump into a discussion unprompted—and when to stay silent. Executive Scott White frames this as part of a broader push toward 'multiplayer AI,' where Claude operates as a shared organizational resource rather than a private chatbot.
