ClaudeforceDoing Salesforce work from inside Claude, on your own CRM data.
Claudeforce is an expanded Salesforce and Anthropic partnership announced in August 2026. Its first product is a Salesforce plugin for Claude with 37 prebuilt sales skills, in beta since Dreamforce, so reps can prepare meetings and review deals without leaving Claude.
Telling Claude which accounts to build pipeline on, from the market outside your CRM.
Ocean is contextual intelligence for go-to-market. It reads what every company actually does from its own website, learns what good looks like from your closed-won and closed-lost deals, and ranks your whole market against it, with the reason behind each score. The ranked accounts arrive in your CRM, your rep queue or your AI agents.
What buyers weigh, grouped by the job each part does. A green check marks the stronger side.

Short answers on Claudeforce’s cost, how Ocean compares and what switching takes.
Salesforce hasn’t published a price for the Claudeforce plugin, which is in beta. It sits on top of a Salesforce licence and a Claude plan.
Claudeforce can cluster the attributes you give it, such as industry, headcount and tech stack, and it’s useful for testing an ICP definition. It isn’t built around a vector representation of every company in a market, or a similarity search over them, so it can miss companies that behave like your best customers but look different on the surface. Ocean provides that data layer, and an assistant can use it through Ocean’s MCP server.
