Agents at work, a partnership with Salesforce and Slack

“Vercel sets the bar for developer experience and agent infrastructure; Slack sets the bar for collaboration at work. This is a natural partnership as we work with more customers who want to deploy agents on Slack.Vercel sets the bar for developer experience and agent infrastructure; Slack sets the bar for collaboration at work.

Slack has become the operating system for modern work. Every decision, escalation, and project update runs through its channels. It’s where teams express intent, plan, and make decisions. Historically, plans were executed in silos when the conversation ended.

Now, with agents, that conversation is just the starting point as the agent interprets intent and takes action.

Agents built on Vercel AI Cloud can live directly in Slack threads. They can listen, act, and respond without breaking the flow of discussion.

When a team asks for a report, an update, or a deployment, the agent can generate, fetch, or trigger it instantly. The result is a workflow that feels less like using software and more like collaboration. This shift turns the conversation itself into a living interface, to software that listens and responds as a participant.

Vercel AI Cloud combines the speed and observability of Vercel with new primitives for long-running agents, stateful sessions, and secure tool execution for production-grade, enterprise-ready systems of action.

Developers can use frameworks like Next.js, Hono, Nitro, or Express with the AI SDK to connect models, vector stores, and tools. These frameworks can be deployed with one click, handling message routing, context persistence, and security automatically.

To show what’s possible, we're bringing our own agent to Slack, v0. A collaborative, multiplayer agent that lives directly inside Slack and built on the Vercel AI Cloud, v0 makes it possible for teams to experiment, prototype, and deploy sites, apps, and agents, all from the same conversation, and at the speed of conversation.

The agent is a real-time collaborator that understands the full context of your Slack workspace, while respecting permissions. By turning conversations itself into apps, v0 shows how fast teams can move when the interface becomes a natural part of the workflow.

This new way of working doesn’t end in Slack.

Over the coming months, Vercel and Salesforce will work together to innovate new ways of building with Agentforce 360 and Next.js, React, and more. The opportunity: meet customers where they are, help developers build faster, and deploy more agents with less risk.

“The future of enterprise software is event-driven and conversational. Together with Salesforce, we’re building the runtime for that future, where agents run on Vercel AI Cloud, interface through Slack, and connect directly to business logic in Salesforce.

With this extensibility, collaboration, context, and intelligence converge into a single experience for customers build more quickly and with more impact.

As software becomes conversational, the systems we use every day become more adaptive, more human, and more connected to how teams actually work. The next generation of applications won’t just run in the cloud, they’ll live in the flow of conversation.
