Salesforce (Agentforce) announces agreement to acquire Spindle AI (www.salesforce.com)

Salesforce has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Spindle AI and fold the team and technology into its Agentforce suite, with the deal expected to close in Salesforce’s fourth fiscal quarter of 2026 (subject to customary conditions). Spindle—co‑founded by Ryan Atallah and Carson Kahn—offers an agentic analytics platform that blends multi‑agent systems, neuro‑symbolic AI agents, machine learning, and AI‑native data systems to autonomously model scenarios and generate optimized forecasts in seconds. The platform is designed to let business teams simulate complex, data‑driven decisions (pricing, packaging, GTM optimization, sales‑mix shifts) and complements existing analytics like Tableau by moving from insight to autonomous decision modeling. For the AI/ML community, the acquisition highlights enterprise demand for agentic systems that provide observability, explainability, and continuous self‑improvement at scale. Salesforce says Spindle will augment Agentforce 360’s Agent Observability and Self‑Improvement pillars—enabling custom agentic analytics, ROI forecasting, and closed‑loop optimization—and bring expertise in AI observability and multi‑agent analytics that can make enterprise LLMs more reliable and valuable. Technically, this underscores a shift toward integrating neuro‑symbolic agents with high‑performance data infrastructures to unlock actionable, trustworthy automation for complex business scenarios.
