ORGanizer Becomes Community, New Names, Higher Prices, Agentforce Jobs Boom While Projects Stall in Pilot
From the curator, Grzegorz Skaruz: This week's roundup feels like a mix of "brace yourself" and "let's figure this out together." Salesforce dropped a naming and pricing shake-up that's got everyone talking - Enterprise Edition becoming "Core Edition" is just the start, and the cost changes are the real story. Meanwhile, Agentforce is reshaping the job market in a strange way: demand for the skill is soaring even though plenty of companies are still stuck in pilot mode, not quite sure what to do with it.I also found a piece asking what Salesforce Admins will actually be doing in 2027, and honestly, it's less about AI replacing anyone and more about the job shifting toward oversight, trust, and bigger-picture thinking. And if you're still logging in with a username, there's a change coming to your default login method that's worth understanding before it catches you off guard. Read the whole note

Agentforce Jobs Are Booming While Projects Stall in Pilot
Agentforce has blown up as a must-have Salesforce skill - demand jumped 63% year over year, now making up 9% of job listings, up from 5%. In under two years, it's become one of the top six skills employers want. But here's the twist: 85% of Salesforce customers have tried or rolled out Agentforce, yet nearly half are still stuck testing it out. So companies are hunting for talent even though many haven't figured out how to actually use it well. Makes you wonder - are businesses hiring ahead of real need, or is Agentforce just turning into another "expected" skill for Salesforce pros?
