“AgentExchange is still in its early days, but thanks to the vision and dedication of leaders like Trish Phillips and Amy Gorman, partners like Breadwinner have a platform to innovate and expand what’s possible for Salesforce customers. Our mutual success is tied together — the stronger the partner ecosystem, the stronger Salesforce becomes.” 

While AgentExchange operates alongside AppExchange, its focus differs: it provides reusable AI building blocks that allow teams to accelerate work in sales, service, finance, and analytics – without leaving Salesforce.
