Salesforce says enterprise AI is failing because workflows weren’t designed for agents—so tasks break, handoffs fail, and costs rise. Its new Agentforce Operations adds a workflow execution “control plane” that turns uploaded processes into explicit, deterministic tasks for specialized agents.

The push toward proactive autonomy comes with new governance, observability, and encryption controls, as Writer takes aim at AWS, Microsoft, and Salesforce’s agent platforms.
