Salesforce today introduced an AI‑powered fan companion agent that will be available on F1.com, extending its long‑standing partnership with Formula 1 into the fan‑experience arena. The agent is designed to educate the sport’s 827 million global fans about the upcoming 2026 technical regulations and to monitor trending questions, delivering personalized insights 24/7.
The launch represents the next phase of Formula 1’s Agentforce 360 deployment. In the first phase, Agentforce 360 already achieved 80 % of routine fan queries resolved within four hours, a 30 % reduction in chat handling times, an 80 % drop in average response times, and a 22 % lift in click‑through rates for AI‑recommended content. The new fan companion builds on that success by bringing the same autonomous‑agent technology directly to the fan‑facing side of the business.
Salesforce’s Agentic Enterprise strategy positions the company as a leader in AI‑driven customer engagement. By integrating the agent into the Formula 1 ecosystem, Salesforce demonstrates the versatility of its autonomous‑agent platform beyond traditional CRM functions, while Formula 1 gains a scalable, personalized channel to reach its younger, tech‑savvy audience—43 % of fans are under 35. The partnership also deepens Salesforce’s presence at key events such as the Las Vegas Grand Prix and the F1 Academy, reinforcing its commitment to the sport’s digital transformation.
"Our fans are the heart of everything we do, and as Formula 1 continues to grow globally, we are constantly looking for innovative ways to bring them closer to the sport 365 days a year. The new fan agent will be a vital tool as we embark on the next chapter of Formula 1 with the introduction of the new regulations," said Emily Prazer, Chief Commercial Officer of Formula 1.
"Formula 1 runs on precision and with Agentforce, we've already seen how unifying data, agents, and human teams has transformed the way F1 engages its fans. This expansion builds on that success, extending intelligent fan experiences across its global audience of 827 million. F1 is demonstrating what it means to run as an Agentic Enterprise and turn AI into real impact," added Patrick Stokes, Chief Marketing Officer of Salesforce.
The 2026 regulations introduce significant changes to car design, powertrains, and sustainable fuels. By providing clear, AI‑generated explanations, the agent helps fans understand these complex updates, supporting Formula 1’s goal of growing its global fanbase and maintaining relevance in a rapidly evolving sports landscape.
