Summer '26 sandbox preview is live. Key highlights: Agentforce for Developers (AI-powered code generation inside VS Code), enhanced Flow orchestration with sub-flows, Data Cloud real-time segmentation improvements, and the new Einstein Trust Score dashboard for monitoring AI quality across your org.
Spring '26 brings Agentforce enhancements, expanded Einstein AI features, Dynamic Forms GA for all objects, and updated permission model with enhanced profile restrictions.
Winter '26 highlights include Agentforce for IT Service with native Slack integration, AI-powered decision routing in Flow Builder, multi-column list view sorting reaching GA, and an increase in Activity object custom fields from 100 to 300.
Summer '25 delivers hundreds of Agentforce enhancements including a new Agent API for triggering agents from external systems, Data Cloud Zero Copy Data Streams for live ingestion from Snowflake and BigQuery, and an Agentforce Testing Center that auto-generates test suites from natural language descriptions. The release also rebuilds the Send Email flow action with a rich-text WYSIWYG editor.
Amazon Q Developer, AWS's generative AI-powered coding assistant, reached general availability with support for inline code suggestions, conversational coding in the IDE, and an autonomous agent for software development that can implement features and fix bugs across entire codebases. The assistant covers the full software development lifecycle from design through testing and maintenance.
Guardrails for Amazon Bedrock reached general availability, giving teams a centralized policy layer that sits between applications and any foundation model on Bedrock. Controls include content filtering for hate, violence, and misconduct at configurable thresholds; topic denial to block off-topic prompts; PII redaction and anonymization; grounding checks that flag hallucinated responses against a reference source; and word and phrase blocklists. Guardrails apply to both user inputs and model outputs and work across Claude, Titan, Llama, Cohere, and other models available in Bedrock, requiring no changes to model code. In December 2024 Bedrock reduced Guardrails pricing by up to 85 percent.
At AWS re:Invent 2023, Amazon Bedrock Agents and Knowledge Bases reached general availability, enabling fully managed RAG pipelines and multi-step autonomous agents without custom orchestration code. Knowledge Bases automatically syncs documents from S3, chunks and embeds them into a vector store, and retrieves relevant context at inference time, while Agents can invoke Lambda actions and API schemas to complete multi-turn tasks.
Salesforce made the Einstein Trust Layer generally available alongside Sales GPT and Service GPT, providing a set of built-in security guardrails for generative AI including dynamic grounding with CRM data, data masking before prompts leave Salesforce, zero data retention with LLM providers, toxicity detection, and an audit trail. The Trust Layer ensures that prompts and responses are never stored by third-party model providers or used to train external models.
Salesforce launched DevOps Center as a free, native change and release management tool that replaces change sets with a Git-backed, pipeline-driven workflow integrated directly into Setup. Teams can track work items, promote changes through environments via a visual pipeline, and connect to any Git provider, giving both click-based admins and pro-code developers a shared release process.
