Salesforce and Google Cloud announced a broadening of their AI agent partnership on April 22 2026, extending the reach of Salesforce’s Agentforce platform and Google’s Gemini Enterprise into Slack and Google Workspace. The collaboration allows customers to deploy AI agents that can orchestrate end‑to‑end workflows across both ecosystems without moving or copying data, a zero‑copy data approach that reduces security risks and eliminates context switching for employees.
The new integration gives AI agents the ability to pull context from Salesforce records, Google Workspace documents, and Slack conversations in real time. By keeping data in place, the partnership eliminates the need for data replication or transfer, streamlining operations and maintaining compliance with data‑protection standards while delivering faster, more reliable agent responses.
Salesforce executives said the expansion is driven by the growing demand for agentic AI that can operate across an entire enterprise. Srini Tallapragada, President and Chief Engineering Officer, noted, "Businesses are ready to go all in on agentic AI, and that requires infrastructure and models that can operate across the entire enterprise. Our deepened partnership with Google Cloud gives joint customers exactly that, so they can deploy Agentforce across every part of their business and accelerate their Agentic Enterprise transformation." Karthik Narain, Chief Product and Business Officer at Google Cloud, added, "Our partnership with Salesforce allows customers to securely connect data across both platforms to accelerate business results and build a scalable foundation for the agentic era. With an enterprise‑ready Salesforce agent in Gemini Enterprise, customers have a powerful new way to act on their data with speed and confidence." Silvio Savarese, Chief Scientist at Salesforce, emphasized the technical rigor, stating, "In the enterprise environment, it's imperative for AI agents to be highly capable and highly consistent, especially for critical use cases. Together, we are setting a new standard for building the future of what's possible in the Agentic Enterprise down to the model level."
The partnership builds on Salesforce’s recent AI momentum. Agentforce ARR reached $2.9 billion in fiscal 2026, up 200% year‑over‑year, while Data Cloud and AI ARR grew 120% to $900 million. Agentforce alone contributed roughly $800 million to the $2.9 billion AI ARR, underscoring the platform’s role in driving Salesforce’s AI‑led revenue growth. By integrating with Google Cloud, Salesforce expands its AI ecosystem and deepens its reach into customers that rely on Google Workspace and Google Cloud services, positioning the company to capture a larger share of the expanding AI‑powered enterprise market.
Investor confidence appears strong, with 33 analysts revising earnings estimates upward following the announcement. The partnership is expected to reinforce Salesforce’s competitive moat around data, integration, and AI orchestration, and to accelerate the adoption of agentic workflows across its customer base.
