Salesforce Inc (NYSE:CRM) is a cloud-based CRM company that has gained popularity after it unveiled its AI-powered platform called Agentforce. On March 4th, the company announced the launch of AgentExchange, the trusted marketplace and community for Agentforce. This new marketplace and community, integrated directly into its AI CRM platform, empowers partners, developers, and the Agentblazer community to build and monetize agentic AI components.

It comprises more than 200 initial partners and hundreds of ready-made actions, topics, and templates that have gone through rigorous security and customer reviews to enable organizations to create and deploy AI agents to improve productivity, efficiency, and innovation. Last week, Salesforce AI executive Alice Steinglass said that “This is going to be the last generation of managers who manage a wholly human workforce. According to her, the launch of AgentForce has meant tremendous growth and success with 3,000 deals already.

“Customers want this new form of digital labor.” While Agentforce is a digital labor platform for Salesforce, AgentExchange is the marketplace on top of Agentforce that developers can use to create and sell AI agents, or businesses can even look through, test, and buy pre-built AI actions, templates, and agent solutions.

“When we launched AppExchange in 2005, it helped our customers get even more value from our platform with prebuilt apps, workflows, and integrations. It also gave our partners an opportunity to participate in the emerging cloud economy and build thriving businesses. With AgentExchange, we’re doing much the same — opening up Agentforce for partners, startups, and Agentblazers to participate in the digital labor market and build agentic AI on Salesforce.”

-Brian Landsman, EVP & GM, Global Business Development & Partnerships at Salesforce.
