1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News. Market's always great to

2
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 1: be here with you at Dreamforest. At the start of

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: the show, the rock star of the show, thank you

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: agent for us, of course, and you rolling that out

5
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: is a big thing. I've been talking to some of

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: your customers. They're very excited. Tell us about what lllms

7
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 1: you built this on. Is it open AI as it is.

8
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: I've never seen the customers more excited. And the reason

9
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: why is these customers have been convinced something that's not true,

10
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 2: that they have to buy an LLM, they have to

11
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: go to a hyperscaler, they have to get a database,

12
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 2: they have to buy a security technology, they have to

13
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 2: choose a chip, they have to hook it all together themselves,

14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: they have to deiy their AI. It's not true. You

15
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: do not have to diy r AI. And when we

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 2: started the show, they didn't really believe it. So that's

17
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: why we created a whole factory across the street as

18
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: you saw in Moscowne West, where we have put more

19
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: than ten thousand customers through already to show them that

20
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: on the Salesforce platform, which they've already been committed to

21
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 2: for more than twenty years, had great success in sales

22
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 2: and service and marketing and communications and commerce and analytics

23
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 2: and Slack and all of these technologies that now they're

24
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: also building AI. And this is a shock to them,

25
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 2: and it's exciting for us because we're showing them how

26
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: once again we're future proofing their company with the Salesforce platform.

27
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: So you've basically di wied it for them, software company.

28
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: What models you've built it on?

29
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: Is it? We have our own? We have many and

30
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: they don't need to know. And they don't Why what

31
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: chip am I using? You know, what hyperscal are? They

32
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: don't care. They don't care what I'm using. You know,

33
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: it's like what type of flowers in the cake? What

34
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: kind of sugar did I buy at the store? Why

35
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 2: does it matter? Do you like the cake? Is this

36
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: is the final product that you like?

37
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: All right?

38
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: And I think that for our customers, they don't want

39
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: to know all the pieces. They want to know does

40
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: this work? And can they make a greater success for

41
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: their own companies? And so when you see like a

42
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: company like you know, Wiley, who's here and they're like

43
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: lower their cost by fifty percent day one, right, And

44
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 2: that is the power of technology that we're going to

45
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: help them make it easier for them, lower their cost,

46
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: deliver a high ROI and the Salesforce Platform just delivered

47
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: that FROMIL.

48
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: So let's talk about how it works. You know a

49
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: lot of companies are rolling out agents now service now, Microsoft,

50
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: how do we know this isn't just another buzzword like copilot?

51
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 2: Well, I think you know that, I think and we

52
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 2: all know now that Microsoft Copilot is basically the new

53
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: Microsoft Clippy that customers have not gotten value from it.

54
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: You know, these llms, this is like we're selling science

55
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: projects to companies and they're tired of it. They have

56
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: not gotten the value, which is why you see these

57
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 2: customers so excited. They're coming here and they're getting immediate

58
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 2: value and they're able to use this next generation platform

59
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: to do everything that they've heard that's possible. Create an

60
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 2: agent is a great example. How do I find tune

61
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: an agent? How do I create guardrails for an agent?

62
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: How do I ground an agent? And data? Well, all

63
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: the data is in the Salesforce platform. All of the

64
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: metadata is there, the logic is there, the workflow is there.

65
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: They're just adding agents into their existing workflow and no

66
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: one knew it was possible before the show, so we

67
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 2: knew that because we hadn't created the product. And now

68
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: it's so exciting because we've onboarded tens of thousands of

69
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: customers and we've convinced them you don't need a DIY

70
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: your AI. You can just use and you're going to

71
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: get the best AI, the highest accuracy, the lowest hallucination rate.

72
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: Our customer are saying in many cases it's two x

73
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: the accuracy of the best models.

74
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: So look, you know it's not all ways going to

75
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: be smooth sailing. Disney actually just announced they've dropped Slack

76
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 1: because they got hacked and said they're switching to an

77
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: enterprise wide collaboration tool, which sounds maybe like Microsoft, what

78
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: are you doing to improve Slack security and what's your

79
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: response to that?

80
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: Well, listen, I think our security is rock solid. This

81
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 2: is really important, and also there's no finish line when

82
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 2: it comes to security. But companies have to also take

83
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 2: the right measures to prevent phishing attacks and to lock

84
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: down their employees from social engineering. So we can do

85
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 2: our part, but our customers also have to do their part.

86
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 2: That's extremely important. But the second thing that's important is

87
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: over twenty five years, we've shown that this model is

88
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: the most trusted, most secure, most capable model. Disney's a

89
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: great example. They run the Disney Store on Salesforce, the

90
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 2: Disney guides are on Salesforce, all of the sales and

91
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 2: service operations Disney plus call center and contact centers on Salesforce.

92
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 2: We are the customer service capability and they're the proving

93
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: ground actually for our new AI system. So our next

94
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 2: generation AI was actually proven at Disney. It's amazing. They've

95
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: shown us incredible metrics and I'm really looking forward to,

96
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 2: you know, future success with Disney. But it's incredible that

97
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: customers are able to see this value from these platforms.

98
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 2: This is that's what's really exciting.

99
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: And let's talk about the money, because I'm curious about

100
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: how you got to this two dollars per conversation and

101
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: just how much additional revenue you think agent Force is

102
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: going to drive.

103
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: Well, Look, our goal is very simple. We want to

104
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: get what we call a billion agents you know, in

105
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: place for our customers within the next twelve months. And

106
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: that means we're going to have to deploy it in

107
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 2: one hundreds of thousands of customers, okay, and get them

108
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 2: all to roll this out to build this huge blanket

109
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 2: with all of their conc and of course the funny

110
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 2: thing is, we say a billion agents, but you know

111
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 2: it's only one piece of code. The Salesforce platform is

112
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 2: automating all your customer touch points, building a huge data

113
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: cloud and all your agents, but it's all one piece

114
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: of code that you're just connected to. And that idea

115
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: that it's one piece of code, well then we're of course,

116
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: you know, we've always charged you know, per email or

117
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 2: per commerce transaction, and now per conversation. It's consumption pricing.

118
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: In some cases it's per user pricing, like in our

119
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 2: sales cloud or our service cloud, so it's a mix

120
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 2: of two different pricing models. But we're of course work

121
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 2: with our customers, and you know, we have tens of

122
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 2: thousands of customer facing professionals who work with them to

123
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: make the right agreement with our customers every single time.

124
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: All right, Well, it's great to be with you here

125
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: in person, and.

126
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 2: To always fun to be with you, Agent Thrill, you

127
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: could come back.

128
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: Salesforce Chair CEO and founder Mark Benioff, good to have

129
00:06:59,320 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: you
