Benioff’s push into agents could put Salesforce at existential risk because once the front-end gets reimagined with AI, the application becomes just a database and customers migrate to cheaper, faster, more agile systems.
Applications might all become a (hosted) database with a thin layer of APIs that AI agents can interact with via text.
Now, everything starts and lives in an LLM (Claude Code / Cowork / Codex / etc.) and the tools that used to “own” a step in the process are now plugins into your workflow.
Text input in LLMs is the new interface that swallows all other products.
