Microsoft has been building out its generative and agentic AI tools for some time now, building upon its mega-billion investment in OpenAI. The evolution of Microsoft’s copilot concept is of course built on agentic AI, and multi-agent flows. Today, the company announced a new packaging concept, the “AI Accelerator for Sales” which combines Microsoft’s existing AI capabilities and a few new wrinkles just announced.
The program includes the following resources for sales organizations looking to transform their operations with AI tools and agents:
Salesforce launched a developer edition of Agentforce and a marketplace for pre-built partner agents and actions.
The launch comes as Salesforce follows up with its next phases of its Agentforce rollout. The focus on developers, announced at Salesforce's TDX conference, is designed to build an ecosystem around Agentforce.
Microsoft launched a series of AI agents and an AI accelerator program for sales as it outlined a bevy of customer references implementing the software giant's copilots and agents.
The company's AI agent tools are being rolled out in Dynamics 365 and are natively integrated across Microsoft 365 productivity apps. The AI agents will connect to an enterprise's data platform (Azure and third parties) and use Microsoft's horizontal data across productivity apps and LinkedIn to include context.
Here's what's rolling out:
