Salesforce and Google expand partnership to bring Agentforce, Gemini together

The partnership between the two companies already allows customers to use data bi-directionally from Google BigQuery and Salesforce leveraging Salesforce’s zero copy technology.

As part of the deal, Agentforce will be able to use Grounding with Google Search for dynamic retrieval that gives agents the power to reference up-to-the-minute data, news, current events, and credible citations. For example, a supply chain management and logistics agent could track shipments and monitor inventory levels in Salesforce Commerce Cloud. It could also use real-time data, such as weather conditions and geopolitical events, to identify potential disruptions. The partners said they expect to make this capability available in the coming months.

The deal will also enable customers to use Salesforce’s Agentforce, Data Cloud, and Customer 360 on Google Cloud’s infrastructure. The partners noted that once Salesforce’s products are available on Google Cloud, customers will be able to procure Salesforce offerings via Google Cloud Marketplace.
