Salesforce & Google Strengthen Ties, Gemini AI Joins Agentforce for Greater Customer Flexibility

Salesforce & Google Strengthen Ties, Gemini AI Joins Agentforce for Greater Customer Flexibility

Salesforce and Google announced a significant expansion of their strategic partnership, giving businesses more options for the models and capabilities they use to design and deploy AI-powered agents.

In today’s rapidly changing AI market, breakthroughs such as autonomous agents emerge so swiftly that organizations struggle to stay up. This expanded cooperation gives critical flexibility, allowing customers to create personalized AI solutions that match their individual needs rather than being limited to a single model provider.

Google Cloud is at the vanguard of enterprise AI innovation, with millions of developers leveraging Google’s cutting-edge Gemini models and AI-optimized infrastructure. This enhanced relationship will enable Salesforce clients to create Agentforce agents with Gemini and deploy Salesforce on Google Cloud.

This is an extension of the existing cooperation, which allows companies to consume data bidirectionally from Google BigQuery and Salesforce using zero-copy technology, providing clients with the data, AI, trust, and actions required to integrate autonomous agents into their enterprises.

As Salesforce and Google Bring Gemini to Agentforce, businesses gain unprecedented capabilities to build sophisticated AI solutions.

The Impact of This Salesforce & Google Initiative

Agentic AI is not just emerging; it is now here and represents a $2 trillion market opportunity, according to Salesforce research. 84% of CIOs predict that AI will be as important to enterprises as the internet. To fulfill the potential, firms must implement an agentic strategy that prioritizes openness, trust, and choice. 

This Includes:

Data: With a zero-copy architecture and enriched metadata for deeper insights, you can have highly secure and unified access to all of your data, regardless of where it is stored. This breaks down data silos across platforms, so customers don’t have to give up choice for an integrated experience, as opposed to solutions that restrict data access or force users to piece together disparate solutions.

AI: Leading AI models offer unparalleled choice and versatility, including predictive, generative, and multi-modal possibilities. This enables enterprises to personalize solutions to their individual requirements while avoiding being trapped in a single provider’s AI capabilities.

Trust:  A multi-layered strategy to data and infrastructure protection that includes encryption, data residency alternatives, and a selection of infrastructure providers. Furthermore, strong safeguards, bias detection, explainability, and toxicity controls are included to enable responsible AI development and deployment. 

Actions: Automation, analytics, and apps are seamlessly integrated across platforms to optimize workflows and increase organizational efficiency. This enables businesses to maximize the impact of AI agents by linking them to their existing tools and systems, as opposed to solutions with limited interfaces or closed ecosystems.

Data: Real-Time Insights Agentforce Leverages Google Search

secure data foundation provided by Salesforce Data Cloud’s zero-copy relationship with Google BigQuery. 

This interface enables Agentforce agents to access up-to-date data, news, current events, and trustworthy citations, significantly improving their contextual awareness and ability to provide accurate, evidence-based responses.  

AI: Empowering Choice and Flexibility with Gemini and Agentforce

Businesses must have the freedom to select the best models for their needs rather than being limited to a single provider. By 2025, Google’s Gemini models will be available for prompt creation and reasoning straight within Agentforce. Businesses using Gemini and Agentforce will benefit from: 

Agents Having Multimodal Capabilities: Gemini’s native multimodality enables agents to “see” and interpret the world, allowing AI to recognize pictures (such as error codes) and discern emotions in voice. Integrating this into Agentforce results in smarter agents who can respond to audio, video, and text.

Expanded Contextual Comprehension and Reasoning: Gemini’s 2 million-token context window allows agents to store and reference vast volumes of data, such as whole codebases, years of customer interactions, and product documentation.

Trust: Salesforce Platform Now Running on Google Cloud

Customers will be able to use the Salesforce unified platform (Agenetforce, Data Cloud, and Customer 360) on Google Cloud’s highly secure, AI-optimized infrastructure, which includes features like dynamic grounding, minimal data retention, and poison detection enabled by the Einstein Trust Layer. 

Once Salesforce products are available on Google Cloud, customers will be able to purchase Salesforce offerings through the Google Cloud Marketplace, allowing global businesses to optimize their investments across Salesforce and Google Cloud while also benefiting thousands of existing joint customers.

Action: Boosting Employee Productivity and Customer Service with AI-Powered Integrations

Salesforce and Google Cloud are used by millions on a daily basis. This relationship stresses choice and flexibility, allowing for seamless cross-platform collaboration. New and deeper integrations between platforms such as Salesforce Service Cloud, Google Cloud’s Customer Engagement Suite, Slack, and Google Workspace will provide AI agents and service representatives with unified data access, streamlined workflows, and advanced AI capabilities, regardless of platform.

Salesforce and Google Cloud are deeply integrating two customer service platforms, Salesforce Service Cloud and Google Cloud’s Customer Engagement Suite, to provide a smooth and intelligent support experience. This unified strategy, which is expected later this year, will equip AI agents in Service Cloud with:

  • • Real-Time Speech Translation and Sentiment Analysis: Google Cloud AI in Service Cloud will enable real-time speech translation breaking down language boundaries. New agent help tools on the Service Cloud desktop will evaluate the tone of voice and audio signals to better comprehend client emotions.
  •  
  • • Agent-to-Agent Intelligent Handoffs: Across all channels, virtual agents based on Google Conversational Agents will be able to easily interface with Agentforce in Service Cloud, allowing for more efficient handling of complex customer engagements.

     

Salesforce and Google Cloud are also looking at deeper integrations between Slack and Google Workspace to improve productivity and create a more seamless digital workspace for teams and companies. The companies are currently investigating use cases such as:

  • • Users can use Slack’s enterprise search to access and interact with files on Google Drive.
  •  
  • • The ability to seamlessly transmit information between Gmail and Slack improves collaboration and knowledge sharing.

The end result is a more connected and efficient work environment in which organizations may select the finest solutions for their purposes from employee productivity to customer service, while benefiting from seamless and intelligent cross-platform workflow.
