With Spindle AI, Salesforce is set to redefine enterprise analytics. Here’s how it can empower businesses with predictive, agentic intelligence at scale.
Salesforce is making a significant leap into the future of artificial intelligence with its acquisition of Spindle AI, a move set to turbocharge its Agentforce roadmap. The deal, expected to close in Salesforce’s fourth fiscal quarter of 2026, marks a major step in the company’s push to turn raw business data into autonomous decision-making capabilities.
From Dashboards to ‘What If’
For years, businesses have used analytics to understand what happened. Spindle AI is built to predict what will happen.
Founded by tech veterans Ryan Atallah and Carson Kahn, Spindle's platform creates ‘agentic systems’, smart AI agents that can reason, learn, and act independently.
Instead of just viewing a dashboard, a company can use Spindle's technology to run complex simulations in real-time. A user can ask predictive questions like, What will be the impact on revenue if we change our pricing structure? Or how will this new go-to-market strategy perform?
The AI agents then simulate the outcomes, condensing work that would typically take an entire analytics team into mere seconds.
A Smarter Agentforce
Spindle AI's team will be integrated directly into Salesforce's Agentforce division, where they will focus on a critical, next-generation challenge: Agent Observability and Self-Improvement.
The goal here isn't just to build powerful AI, but to build AI that can be trusted. Spindle's technology is designed to make autonomous agents interpretable, allowing them to monitor, explain, and, most importantly, improve their own reasoning over time.
Carson Kahn, co-founder and Chief AI & Product Officer at Spindle AI, said,
"The next generation of agentic systems will be measured by how well they can continuously monitor, explain, and improve their own reasoning."
This focus on explainability and self-improvement is crucial for enterprises that will increasingly rely on AI to make high-stakes business decisions.
The Future of Enterprise AI
This acquisition is a major talent and technology boost. As Adam Evans, EVP & GM of Salesforce AI Platform, said,
"The future of the agentic enterprise isn't about having the most data, it's about making that data speak a common language."
By acquiring Spindle AI, Salesforce is making a calculated bet that the future of enterprise software belongs to AI that doesn't just present data, but actively reasons, forecasts, and adapts.
