Salesforce Inc (NYSE:CRM) is a cloud-based CRM company that has gained popularity after the launch of its AI-powered platform called Agentforce. On February 20, Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) CEO Marc Benioff took to social media platform X to clarify that there is no cloud agreement with major tech firms to manage artificial intelligence workloads.

“The story in @TheInformation is incorrect. In 2024, Salesforce explored a fourth deployment option for our customers, alongside our existing choices: our proprietary data centers, AWS, and Alibaba. Last year, we decided to extend our partnership with Google, giving customers the option to deploy Salesforce’s customers 360 apps, Hyperforce, Agentforce, and Data Cloud on Google’s platform in future Salesforce releases”
