Because of the benefits and efficiencies of Agentforce, we’ve seen the number of support cases we handle decline, and we no longer need to actively backfill support engineer roles

SalesforceNot attributed: no named speaker, and published by Fortune (news magazine), so we cannot yet show the organization said it

Interview: Fortune (news magazine), Fortune (news magazine), September 2, 2025. Reported by Emma Burleigh.

Checked against the source [ Grade C ] One to two years old Salesforce: $41.5 billion revenue, FY2026 (ended 2026-01-31) Sells AI tools

Salesforce sells AI or agent tooling, so it has a reason to publish flattering numbers about AI. The passage stays in the archive; read it with that in mind.

How this was checked

Checked against the source by a first reader, then confirmed independently by a second reader who fetched the source without seeing the first reader's notes (Independent review agent (Claude Sonnet), blind second pass from passage text and citation only, no repository access, 2026-10-31).

The text matches exactly. It appears as a quoted statement from 'a Salesforce spokesperson tells Fortune', so it is the company's own words. The passage is a sentence fragment (the page's quote continues to 'roles,'), and I treated that as an allowed trim. The dc.fortune.com copy has the same text.
