Salesforce is embracing the trend of vibe-coding with a new AI-powered developer tool. Vibe-coding allows developers to describe what they want in natural language, and AI agents write the code. The company announced this new offering, called Agentforce Vibes, to help developers work autonomously on Salesforce applications.
This tool assists developers from the initial app idea phase through building and observability. It includes enterprise security and governance controls from the start. A key component is an autonomous AI coding agent named Vibe Codey. This agent connects directly to a company’s existing Salesforce account. This connection allows it to reuse already-written code and follow established coding guidelines, ensuring new apps match existing products.
Dan Fernandez, vice president of product for developer services at Salesforce, explained that linking Agentforce Vibes to a company’s account offers the best of both worlds. Enterprises can explore vibe coding without potential security issues and without starting each project from scratch. He stated that the tool provides everything prebuilt and ready, including AI requests, which lowers the barrier to entry and is a key differentiator.
This is not Salesforce’s first venture into vibe coding. It is the latest addition to its suite of AI developer tools. The company first released an AI-powered code building tool in 2023. Last year, it announced the general availability of Agentforce for developers at its Dreamforce conference.
Fernandez said the new capabilities bring together the power of client tools and Agentforce, tailored specifically for Salesforce development. He described it as an end-to-end experience for enterprise vibe coding.
These new capabilities are built on a fork from the open source AI coding agent Cline’s Visual Studio Code Extension. Fernandez noted the company tried many open source tools before choosing Cline, partly due to its strong support for model context protocols, which enable AI models to securely communicate with external tools and data.
This release occurs at an interesting time for the vibe-coding industry. Many vibe-coding startups continue to raise large funding rounds at high valuations. For example, the startup Lovable is reportedly turning down unsolicited funding offers after achieving a valuation of one point eight billion dollars just eight months after launching. Another startup, Anything, recently claimed to reach two million dollars in annual recurring revenue only two weeks after launching.
Despite the hype, the long-term success of these platforms is uncertain. Due to the high volume of large language model usage required, operating costs for these companies are high and profit margins are thin. However, these cost pressures are less significant when vibe coding is integrated into a larger product suite, as with Salesforce’s Agentforce Vibes.
Each Salesforce organization receives fifty requests per day using OpenAI’s GPT-5 model. Additional requests are processed through a Salesforce-hosted Qwen three point zero model. The company is currently offering Agentforce Vibes for free to its existing users, with priced usage plans expected in the future.
