Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Salesforce Agentforce reached $540M ARR in Q3 FY26, up 330% Y/Y.
CRM closed 18,500 Agentforce deals, with strong new bookings from existing clients.
CRM's usage surged with 1.2B LLM calls and 3.2T tokens processed.
Salesforce‘s (CRM - Free Report) Agentforce, which combines AI agents, humans, applications and enterprise data, uses LLM to build, deploy and manage workflows for processes in sales, service and marketing, is gaining traction as implied by its ARR of $540 million in third-quarter fiscal 2026, which grew 330% on a year-over-year basis.
Salesforce was able to close more than 18,500 Agentforce deals since its launch, among which 9,500 were paid transactions. The company also reported that more than 50% of new Agentforce bookings from existing customers expanded. Agentforce processed 3.2 trillion tokens since its launch, among which 540 billion tokens were in October, up 25% sequentially.
Agentforce has been able to achieve a remarkable feat of processing 1.2 billion LLM calls to date, among which more than 200 million LLM calls were processed in the third quarter alone. All this indicates strong early adoption and confidence in the Agentforce platform’s value. Customers are moving rapidly from pilot programs to full production.
The consumption-based model, supported by newly introduced flexible payment options such as Flex Credits, is fueling demand for the Agentforce platform. This model can potentially drive recurring revenue growth over time, providing visibility and durability to Salesforce’s top line.

Since many companies already use Microsoft products, integrating Copilot into their existing workflows is simple and cost-effective.
