Dreamforce 2025 is setting a transformative tone for those of us passionate about Salesforce development. As a senior Salesforce developer at diva-e Conclusion, I was struck by how the developer keynote spoke directly to the most important cornerstones of our work: building secure, flexible, and intelligent solutions that scale with business needs.


Led by Salesforce’s development evangelists and product management leadership, the keynote unveiled the three seismic shifts shaping Salesforce developers’ future: Agentic development, predictable agents, and conversational UX. These innovations are not just theoretical; they’re practical changes that will redefine how we design, build, and deliver on the Salesforce platform.

From Code to Agentic Development: Vibe Coding at Enterprise Scale

Salesforce is fundamentally changing how we build code by moving from writing every line to leveraging natural language for outcome-driven development. Agentforce Vibes is at the center of this movement, allowing developers to describe in plain language what they want and have the platform generate secure, deployable solutions.


The “vibe coding” approach has been promoted in the past to quickly generate prototypes. Agentforce Vibes moves beyond this by grounding AI-generated code in your org’s metadata, so that you can trust what gets deployed. This ensures enterprise-grade security and governance that are baked in from the start.


Additional options like the local LWC preview, the ability to ingest Figma designs, and the opportunity to build on any framework (like Node.js or React) are game changers. At diva-e Conclusion, we see the potential to leverage Agentforce Vibes’ contextual awareness and powerful features to deliver secure and scalable solutions to our customers at a faster pace.

Predictable Agents: Grounding AI with Agentforce 360 & Agent Builder

Building agents that reason, orchestrate, and act autonomously introduces non-determinism – a challenge for enterprise reliability. Salesforce’s answer is Agentforce 360, which grounds agents in organizational data and metadata, giving developers more control over agent behavior and outcomes.


Business processes need predictability. With Agentforce 360, developers can inject determinism where needed—combining flexible AI with clear guardrails. It now supports conditional logic, making agents smarter and more consistent.


At diva-e Conclusion, we recognize that predictable automation is essential—especially for regulated industries. Being able to design agents with deterministic chains of actions and test them interactively in Agent Builder unlocks new possibilities for governance and control.

Conversational UX: Putting Chat at the Heart of the Enterprise

The keynote challenged traditional user interface paradigms. Instead of small chat boxes tucked away in corners, the new vision is for conversation to be front and center. With Agentforce, agents can participate in Slack conversations, create rich components in real time, and deliver insights in your everyday workflow.


This shift to conversational UX means users can interact with agents directly, making requests, getting recommendations, and even troubleshooting—all within familiar channels like Slack. It’s not just about convenience; it’s about making AI accessible and actionable for everyone.


The conversation-first experience is a strong new trend recognized by us at diva-e Conclusion. Embedding agents in Slack accelerates response times and brings real business value. The paid search agent demo, for example, showed how marketing teams can automate bid optimization across multiple data sources, with semantic queries executed via Slack.

Agentic Development: Software Engineering Reinvented

Dreamforce 2025 confirmed it: the future of development on Salesforce is agentic, conversational, and deeply integrated with business data. As a developer, I’m energized by the possibilities—especially the chance to deliver smarter, more secure solutions faster than ever before.


At diva-e Conclusion, we’re helping clients explore agentic development, adopt conversational UX, and leverage new scale-testing tools. Our team’s experience with Agentforce means we can guide organizations through the transition—ensuring solutions are secure, scalable, and aligned with business goals.
