Near-Term (Now–Oct 2026)
Summer ‘26 in production. Command Center GA. MCP pilot expansion. Agentforce 3 features rolling. Plan resource investment in agent ops and compliance (AI Act August 2).
Mid-Term (Oct 2026–2027)
Winter ‘26, Spring ‘27 likely bring Agentforce 3 full GA, deeper Data 360 capabilities, production-grade MCP. Multi-vendor agent coordination matures via Agent Fabric.
Long-Term (2027+)
Composable/headless becomes standard. Agents as primary user interface for many workflows. AI Act precedent cases emerge. Multi-vendor AI orchestration well-understood.
Practitioner Planning
Next 6 months: invest in evaluation discipline, AI governance, MCP familiarization. Next 12: phase agents into more workflows; build composable architecture. 18+: expect continued acceleration.
