Salesforce × OpenAI: Agents, Slack, and the Race for ‘Data 360′
In this episode of Cirrius Talk, we highlight the bombshell dropped at Dreamforce: Salesforce + OpenAI. Greg, Chad, and Tim unpack what was actually announced, why it matters, and how it could change day-to-day work for folks living in Salesforce and Slack. We hit Agentforce 360, ChatGPT inside Slack, Codex for devs, instant checkout for Commerce, and the Data Cloud → “Data 360” rebrand, plus where each tool best fits (governed actions vs. free-form reasoning).
