As Salesforce Admins, we’ve always been trusted with the hard stuff: business process, system integrity, and outcomes the business can rely on. We’re the ones who translate how work should happen into systems that actually make it happen—securely, consistently, and at scale. In 2026, that responsibility isn’t going away. It expands. There’s a difference between experimenting with AI and operating an agentic enterprise. One is optional. The other is embedded directly into how work gets done. And once AI becomes operational, admins are the ones responsible for making it secure, governed, and effective. My relationship with AI, Agentforce, and the broader Salesforce Platform now feels a lot like James Bond and Q. I don’t always need to know exactly how the tools are built, but I trust them. I use them constantly. And most of the time, I can’t envision a meaningful project that doesn’t involve them in some way.
