Enterprise Giant Salesforce aims to use new AI-powered developer tools to explain what developers want in natural language and ride the wave of vibe coding where AI agents write their code.
Salesforce announced AgentForce Vibes, a new Vibe Coding offering, on Wednesday. This new coding tool will help developers work autonomously with Salesforce apps and agents by automatically handling many of their technology implementations. AgentForce Vibes helps you build developers, from the phases of app ideas to observability using enterprise security and governance controls.
This new tool includes an autonomous AI coding agent named Vibe Codey. This agent is already connected to your company’s existing Salesforce account, so you can reuse your existing code and follow coding guidelines to create apps that match your existing products.
Dan Fernandez, vice president of product for Salesforce developer services, told TechCrunch that AgentForce Vibes is connected to the company’s existing Salesforce accounts will provide businesses with the best in both worlds. They’ll forewarn into vibe coding, but there are no potential security issues and there’s no need to start each project from scratch.
“We’re trying to give you everything,” Fernandez said. “Therefore, we need to spend time on setup (model context protocol – a system that allows AI models to communicate securely with external tools and data), setting up the development environment, setting up the tools, including how everything is pre-built and ready to initiate AI requests, and how it actually reduces the way it intrudes.”
According to Fernandez, this is not Salesforce’s first foray into Vibe coding, but the latest addition to its suite of AI developer tools.
Salesforce first released its AI-powered code building tool in 2023. Last year, the company announced the general availability of AgentForce for developers at the DreamForce Conference.

Now everything is together.
“[We]take away the power of client tools and agent forces for developers and tailor them to Salesforce development,” says Fernandez. “It’s an end-to-end experience about having an enterprise vibe that codes agent enterprises.”
These new features are built on the fork of Visual Studio Code Extension in the open source AI coding agent Cline.
Fernandez said the company tried many different open source coding tools before deciding to partially use Cline due to strong support for MCP, or the ability for AI models to communicate securely with external tools and data.
This release is an interesting time for the atmospheric coding industry.
Many vibe coding startups continue to raise large funding rounds with eye-catching ratings from investors. For example, Vibe Coding Startup Lovable is said to have refused unsolicited funding from investors after winning a $1.8 billion valuation just eight months after its launch.
Vibe Coding Startup recently claimed it reached $2 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) just two weeks after its launch.
Despite the hype, the long-term success of these platforms is less clear. With the large amount of language model usage required to run these platforms, these companies are expensive and the resulting margins are tight, TechCrunch reported in August.
However, if Vibe Coding is burned into a larger suite of product, as is Salesforce’s AgentForce Vibes, these cost pressures aren’t that important.
Each Salesforce org receives 50 requests per day using Openai’s GPT-5 model. The company currently offers AgentForce vibes for free to existing users with plans for future-proof price usage.
