Salesforce launches enterprise vibe-coding product, Agentforce Vibes | TechCrunch

Enterprise giant Salesforce is looking to ride the vibe-coding wave — where developers describe what they want in natural language and AI agents write the code — withitsnew AI-powered developer tool.

Salesforce announced itsnewvibe-coding offering,AgentforceVibes,on Wednesday. This newcoding toolhelps developers workautonomously on Salesforce apps and agents by handling much of the technical implementation automatically.AgentforceVibes can help developersfromtheappidea phasetobuildingtoobservabilitywithenterprise security and governance controlsbaked in.

This new tool includes an autonomous AI coding agentnamed Vibe Codey. This agent is already connected to acompany’sexisting Salesforceaccount,which allows it to reusean org’salready-writtencodeand followitscoding guidelines,tocreate apps that matchexisting products.

Dan Fernandez, the vice president of product for developer services at Salesforce, told TechCrunch thatAgentforceVibes being connected to a company’s existing Salesforce account gives enterprises the best of both worlds. They get to foray into vibe coding but without the potential security issues and without having to start each project from scratch.

“We’re trying to give you everything,” Fernandez said. “So rather than having to spend a bunch of time on setting up[model context protocols — systems that let AI models securely communicate with external tools and data], setting up a dev environment, setting up tools,everything’sprebuilt and ready for you, including AI requests to get started. And that really issort of adifferentiator on howwe’relowering the barrier to entry.”

Thisisn’tSalesforce’s first foray into vibe coding, Fernandez said,but rather the latestaddition toits suite ofAI developer tools.

Salesforcefirstreleased an AI-powered code building toolback in 2023. Last year, the companyannounced thegeneralavailabilityofAgentforcefor developers at its Dreamforce conference.

Noweverything is coming together.

“[We are] taking the power of the client tools andAgentforcefor developers and making it tailored to Salesforce development,” Fernandezsaid. “Itreally is thatend-to-endexperience for havinganenterprise vibe coding for the agentic enterprise.”

These new capabilitiesarebuilt ona fork fromopen sourceAI coding agentCline’s Visual Studio Code Extension.

Fernandez said the company tried a lot of differentopen sourcecoding tools before decidingto go with Cline partially due to itsstrong supportofMCP,or the abilityforAI models to securely communicate withexternal tools and data.

This release comes at an interesting time for the vibe-coding industry.

Many vibe-coding startups are continuing to raise large funding rounds at eye-watering valuations from investors.Vibe-coding startup Lovable, for example,is allegedlyturning down unsolicited funding offersfrom investorsafter garneringa$1.8 billionvaluationjust eight months after launching.

Vibe-coding startup Anythingrecentlyclaimed tohit $2 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) just two weeks after launching.

Despite the hype,thelong-termsuccess of these platformsis less clear.Due to the sheer volume of large language model usagerequiredto run these platforms, costs for these companies are high and resulting margins are tight,TechCrunch reported in August.

However, these cost pressures matter less when vibe coding isbaked into a larger product suite as Salesforce’sAgentforceVibes is.

Each Salesforce organization gets 50 requests per org per day usingOpenAI’sGPT-5modelwithadditionalrequests after that going throughaSalesforce-hosted Qwen 3.0 model. The company is currently offeringAgentforceVibesfor free to its existing users with priced usage plans expected in the future.
