Salesforce is betting big on AI agents to solve what it calls a $7 billion problem in enterprise software. With 95% of AI projects never reaching production, the company’s new Agentforce 360 platform represents its most ambitious attempt yet to move businesses from pilot purgatory to AI-powered productivity at scale.
As 50,000 professionals gather for Salesforce’s annual Dreamforce conference, the enterprise software giant is making its most significant strategic bet yet on artificial intelligence agents. The company is positioning itself as the solution to what it describes as industry-wide “pilot purgatory” – a staggering reality where 95% of enterprise AI projects never reach production, representing what Salesforce executives estimate to be a $7 billion problem in wasted technology investment.
