Dreamforce Debrief: AI Agents, Slack Smarts, and the Changing Consulting Game
In this episode of Cirrius Talk, host Greg Banks is joined by Allie Nelson and Tim Harting. Fresh from Dreamforce 2025, the team unpacks Salesforce’s AI-first roadmap and what it means for partners and customers. Highlights include how MuleSoft Agent Fabric can orchestrate enterprise AI agents (and MCP tools) with granular security and hierarchy; why Slack Channel Agents meet users where they work, desktop or mobile, to update CRM via natural language; and how the Einstein Trust Layer and data governance should guide choices between native Salesforce agents and general-purpose ChatGPT-in-Slack.
