Salesforce has rebuilt Slackbot as a full AI agent, transforming it from a simple notification tool into one that can search enterprise data, draft documents and take action. Now available to Business+ customers, it runs on Anthropic's Claude and positions Slack as the front door to the agentic enterprise in its battle with Microsoft Copilot.

Salesforce Hires Clockwise Team, Shuts Down Calendar App on March 27

Salesforce is hiring the Clockwise team to build AI orchestration systems but will shut down the calendar app on March 27, 2026, leaving users to migrate elsewhere.

The Daily Perspective
Clockwise gets gobbled up by #Salesforce and is shutting down faster than you can say "meeting rescheduled" 😜📅. Apparently, their "mission" of making time for what matters didn't include their own survival 🕒💥. Guess it’s time to dust off that old-fashioned paper calendar, folks! 🗓️✌️

Salesforce Locks in Debt Until 2066 to Fund Share Buyback

Salesforce commits to 40 years of debt repayment to fund share buybacks amid SaaS sector concerns about AI disruption and product relevance.

The Daily Perspective
Since launching at Dreamforce 2024, Salesforce Agentforce has secured more than 6,000 paid deals. CEO Marc Benioff declared Agentforce is the only focus for Salesforce going forward, with pricing starting at per conversation.

This is a weekly experience for me as a Salesforce admin:

Me: "Hmm I wonder if Salesforce has this fairly reasonable feature?"

*searches web for feature*

*finds IdeasExchange thread with dozens of users begging for this exact same feature*

*sees that it was first opened in 2008*

Me: "Welp. Guess not." #salesforce

Use AI instead of hiring junior staff = stock price bump.

5 years later senior employees start to leave; there is no junior staff to promote and management panics.

Management does not want to spend money on new staff so they hire expensive contractors.

Contractors do a subpar job, charging 10x what an actual employee would cost (different budgets so its cool); and the company starts to go downhill and customers flee.

This starts a death spiral leading to either bankruptcy, acquisition, or restructuring.

The original management who approved the AI have all gone and cashed in their stock.

Just a guess at what is about to happen across the industry.
