With Dreamforce 2025 just a week away, the Belmar team is buzzing with speculation about Salesforce’s upcoming announcements. While major product reveals are a given each year, we anticipate even larger announcements than we’ve seen at previous Dreamforce events.
With over 170,000 attendees expected (in-person and streaming on Salesforce+), including heavyweights like Google CEO Sundar Pichai, the buzz is already electric. As someone gearing up to dive into the fray, I’ve been pondering what seismic shifts Marc Benioff and his team might unveil. Drawing from recent announcements and industry whispers, here are my three predictions for what we’ll see at Dreamforce 2025. These may be wild predictions, but if you’ve been keeping tabs on Salesforce’s aggressive AI roadmap, partnerships, and the agentic wave, AI isn’t just assisting anymore; it’s commanding the show.
Prediction 1: A Game-Changing Google-Salesforce Partnership Announcement
Let’s start with the elephant. A blockbuster partnership expansion between Salesforce and Google will be announced. Sundar Pichai’s confirmed appearance on the Dreamforce stage alongside Benioff isn’t a mere coincidence; it’s a neon sign flashing “collaboration ahead.” We’ve already seen the duo lay groundwork earlier this year. In February 2025, Salesforce and Google announced an expansion that brought Google’s Gemini model directly into Agentforce, Salesforce’s flagship AI agent platform. This move allowed customers to build and deploy agents using Gemini while hosting Salesforce workloads on Google Cloud, unlocking generative AI experiences powered by connected data.
But at Dreamforce, I predict they’ll go further—much further. Expect an announcement that integrates Gemini not just into Agentforce, but across the entire Salesforce ecosystem, including Slack and Data Cloud. Imagine this: real-time AI agents that pull from Google’s vast multimodal capabilities (think video analysis from YouTube or search insights) to supercharge Salesforce users. For instance, a nonprofit fundraiser could query a Gemini-powered agent in Salesforce, which cross-references Google Workspace data to predict customer donations with eerie accuracy, all while ensuring data privacy through federated learning on Google Cloud.
Why now? The enterprise AI race is heating up, with Microsoft and OpenAI dominating headlines, but Salesforce’s strength lies in its CRM fortress. By deepening ties with Google, Salesforce counters that by blending consumer-scale AI with enterprise-grade security. Picture demos where Agentforce agents autonomously handle lead scoring by analyzing Gmail threads and Google Drive docs, then feeding insights back into Salesforce for hyper-personalized outreach.
Stay tuned. If announced, this could be massive!
Prediction 2: Agentforce 3.0 Takes Center Stage
If Agentforce was the star of Dreamforce 2024, version 3.0 is poised to steal the entire show in 2025. Announced back in June, Agentforce 3.0 already promised a leap forward: 50% lower latency for snappier responses, enhanced observability tools, and integration with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for seamless multi-model AI orchestration. But with Dreamforce looming, I foresee a full-throated unveiling of production-ready features that turn AI agents from helpful sidekicks into autonomous workhorses.
At its core, Agentforce 3.0 introduces the Agent Command Center—a centralized hub for monitoring, measuring, and optimizing AI agents in hybrid human-AI teams. This isn’t your grandma’s dashboard; it’s a real-time nerve center where admins can track agent performance metrics like resolution rates, hallucination scores, and ROI per interaction.
My bold call: Dreamforce will showcase Agentforce 3.0’s “public sector rollout” and enterprise apps tailored for verticals. We’ve seen teases in Summer ’25 updates, including Employee Agents for internal ops and deeper MCP ties for custom model blending. Expect live demos of agents handling complex workflows—like a service agent that books flights via API calls while summarizing emails in natural language—all with sub-second responses thanks to the latency cuts.
Prediction 3: Slack Evolves into the Ultimate AI Command Center, Bridging CRM and Collaboration
Finally, let’s talk Slack—the unsung hero of Salesforce’s empire that’s quietly morphing into the nerve center for AI-driven teams. Owned by Salesforce since 2021, Slack has been on a tear with AI infusions, but at Dreamforce 2025, I predict it’ll be repositioned as the “True AI Command Center.” No more siloed chats; Slack becomes the unified hub where Agentforce agents live, breathe, and collaborate alongside humans.
Recent innovations set the stage. In July 2025, Slack rolled out AI writing assistance, message summaries, and auto-generated action items—features that cut meeting follow-ups by half for early users. But the real magic? Deepening ties with Salesforce CRM and Agentforce. At Dreamforce, expect announcements around “Salesforce Channels in Slack,” where CRM data flows natively into channels, triggering AI agents to act on mentions—like auto-updating deal stages from a casual thread.
Why a command center? In an agentic era, workflows span tools: a Slack huddle sparks an idea, an Agentforce bot executes it, and CRM logs the outcome. Speculating deeper: Dreamforce demos will show Slack agents handling cross-functional tasks, like a sales bot that scans channels for leads, enriches them via Data Cloud, and pings Service Cloud for fulfillment—all without leaving the app. With AI-powered translations and profile summaries, global teams get frictionless collab, boosting productivity by 35% per Slack’s internal metrics. For Salesforce users, this means channels that auto-populate with CRM tasks, turning Slack into a proactive dashboard.
Wrapping Up: Dreamforce 2025—The Dawn of Agentic Everything
As Dreamforce 2025 unfolds next week, these predictions—Google’s deepened alliance, Agentforce 3.0’s command prowess, and Slack’s AI throne—paint a future where AI agents don’t replace us but amplify our potential. From Pichai’s stage whispers to hands-on agent demos, the event will ignite imaginations and roadmaps alike. Whether you’re attending virtually or in person, keep an eye on these threads; they could spark your next big innovation. See you in the Moscone madness!
