Dreamforce 2026 | Main Keynote insights from SharinPix’s Salesforce experts
The Dreamforce 2026 Main Keynote left plenty to think about, but one question stood out: What if the biggest change to Salesforce is that users increasingly stop “using Salesforce” in the way they do today?
“It’s not the end of software—it’s the end of software that makes humans do all the work.”
—Marc Benioff
The presentations of AIforce, Claudeforce, and Koa in San Francisco brought that idea into focus. They point to a change in where people interact with Salesforce and how much of the work agents can handle along the way.
From Navigating Salesforce to Asking Salesforce
Enterprise software has long revolved around screens: open Salesforce, find the record, launch an action, complete a form, save and move to the next screen.
AIforce challenges that familiar routine. It creates an interface layer that lets agents work with the data, workflows, permissions and business logic already inside Salesforce, whether someone is working in Salesforce, Slack or another AI interface.
Then there’s Claudeforce, the Salesforce and Anthropic integration. Salesforce in Claude brings Salesforce context and actions directly into Claude, with 37 prebuilt sales skills covering tasks such as meeting preparation, deal health and pipeline review. It is now available in beta.
Underneath this sits Koa, Salesforce’s CRM-specific reasoning model for Agentforce. Koa is currently in pilot, with U.S. general availability expected in Winter 2027.*
Together, these developments point toward Salesforce becoming software that agents increasingly navigate on the user’s behalf.
What Do These Announcments Mean for ISVs?
Since the majority of our client use cases at SharinPix involve organizations with field operations teams, the implications become clear when looking at an everyday field task.
Imagine a technician arriving onsite. Today, they open Field Service, find the appointment, launch a SharinPix Form, complete the inspection, capture photos and submit everything back to Salesforce.
Now imagine the same workflow starting with a message in Slack written by the field tech:
“I’m onsite for the compressor inspection.”
In this scenario, the agent would understand the Service Appointment, the Asset and the required inspection procedure. It could launch the correct Inspection Form directly from the question, with the field technician capturing any other necessary info directly from the conversation.
If something needed attention, the next workflow could start automatically. The technician could focus on the inspection without needing to know which Salesforce object, screen or automation sits behind it.
That would feel quite different from working through a series of screens.
The Deeper Shift
This raises a question for ISVs: If AI becomes the interface, what happens to applications?
The answer depends on what an application knows how to do.
SharinPix’s value goes beyond providing an upload button or a form. It comes from understanding how photos and other visual elements should be captured in the field, how forms need to work online and offline, how visual evidence connects to Salesforce records and how inspection results should trigger business processes.
Those details matter when someone is standing in front of equipment, working with limited connectivity or trying to document a problem clearly enough for another team to act on it.
That expertise remains valuable when an agent guides the interaction. Agents need reliable capabilities to call on, and ISVs have spent years building them.
As the interface changes, the quality of those underlying capabilities becomes even more important.
Conversation Without Losing Control
There is another part of this shift that deserves attention: governance. Imagine a SharinPix inspection taking place through Slack. The conversation could feel natural while still following a carefully defined process.
Required photos would still need to be captured. Form logic would determine which question comes next. Salesforce permissions would control what the user can access. Compliance rules would determine when something needs approval or escalation.
The same thinking applies to a service agent resolving a Case. Today, that might involve moving between the Case, previous inspections, attachments, photos and other applications. An AI agent could bring that context together and help the service agent work toward a resolution from one place.
A conversational interface can make the process easier to follow while preserving the controls that make it dependable.
What This Means Beyond Dreamforce
From SharinPix’s perspective, enterprise applications are changing boundaries.
Salesforce remains the system of record. ISVs provide specialized capabilities. Agents increasingly become the layer that connects people with the data and tools they need.
For teams building on Salesforce, that creates a practical product question: If users no longer need to navigate to an application to use it, what should that application enable their agents to do?
That is one of the questions SharinPix is taking away from Dreamforce 2026—and one worth discussing with other Salesforce teams, admins and ISVs working through the same transition.
Which part of your Salesforce workflow would change most if the primary interface became a conversation rather than a screen?
