Salesforce and Anthropic launch Claude sales chatbot plugin

First reported

CNBC ran this on 26 August, a day before the next source picked it up.

Claudeforce is a plugin that lets salespeople access Salesforce data and update records directly through Claude, Anthropic's chatbot, with 37 pre-built skills available at launch.
The companies built permission controls called Enterprise Frontier Safeguards to keep customer data private and prevent the AI model from acting without restriction.
Claudeforce launches to select pilot customers this month in preview mode, with more skills coming later in the year and future integration with Slack planned.
