Dreamforce 2025 Admin Keynote marked the beginning of a new chapter where Salesforce Admins are stepping into a new era of innovation, trust, and transformation. As the Salesforce ecosystem embraces the Agentic Enterprise, Admins are no longer just configuring orgs; they’re shaping how humans and AI work together.
This year’s keynote focused on how Admins will drive this transformation by building intelligent agents, enabling conversational work, and safeguarding trust in every interaction. Let’s explore the top three key takeaways from the Dreamforce 2025 Admin Keynote and what Admins can do today to prepare for this exciting future.

Admins Power the Agentic Enterprise
Dreamforce shares a powerful message that Admins are the architects of the Agentic Enterprise. They are the ones setting up agents, organizing data, and connecting systems that make AI-powered work possible.
With the launch of Agentforce 360, Salesforce is empowering Admins to build, deploy, and manage autonomous agents that can take meaningful actions across Sales, Service, and Marketing. These agents can analyze data, automate processes, and even make recommendations, but only when configured thoughtfully and effectively.
Admins play a vital role in shaping this ecosystem by deciding how data flows, defining agent permissions, and ensuring that every automation aligns with business and compliance standards. The future of the Agentic Enterprise depends on its expertise in connecting technology with human intent.
Admins Make Work Conversational
Another major highlight of the Dreamforce 2025 Admin Keynote was the shift from clicks to conversations. Salesforce is bringing natural language interactions into every layer of the platform — from Setup to Slack.
Admins will now craft conversational experiences that let users interact with Salesforce naturally by simply asking it to perform tasks or retrieve information. For example, instead of clicking through multiple steps, a user can say, “Create a new case for this account,” and the system will take action instantly.
This evolution means Admins must learn to build and manage these conversational workflows, defining intent, ensuring accuracy, and delivering a seamless user experience. The integration of AI models, such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini, also gives Admins more flexibility in choosing how their conversational agents respond.
In this new world, Admins are not just managing data and permissions; they’re shaping the way teams interact with Salesforce every day.
Admins Create Trusted, Secure Experiences
Trust has always been Salesforce’s number one value, and it remains at the core of the AI era. As agents become more capable, Admins are responsible for keeping data secure, governed, and ethical.
From managing permissions and roles to defining which models can access sensitive data, Admins serve as the first line of defense in ensuring that AI remains safe and compliant. They’ll need to define guardrails for agent behavior, monitor data usage, and create governance frameworks that keep automation accountable.
Admins will also take on greater responsibility for auditing agent actions, reviewing logs, and setting up sandbox testing before deploying to production. Their expertise in balancing innovation with governance will be critical to maintaining user trust as the platform evolves.
How Admins Should Prepare for the AI-Driven Future
As Salesforce continues to build the Agentic Enterprise, Admins can start preparing today. Here are some cross-cutting technical and organizational recommendations to help them get ready for what’s next:
- Map Your Data and Automations: Start by identifying which data sources and workflows could benefit from agentic automation. Build a data inventory to understand dependencies and risks.
- Define Agent Governance Policies: Establish clear rules around agent permissions, approved AI models, and access levels. This ensures compliance and reduces the risk of over-automation.
- Start Small, Then Scale: Begin with low-risk use cases like automating internal support or data enrichment before expanding to customer-facing processes.
- Embrace Prompt and Agent Script Design: Learn the basics of prompt engineering and the new Agent Script tools to control how agents act and respond.
- Set Up Monitoring and Observability: Track agent performance, audit logs, and human overrides. Build dashboards to measure success and identify anomalies early.
- Upskill Continuously: Leverage Trailhead and Admin-focused resources to stay ahead of new Agentforce and AI capabilities.
Final Thoughts
The Dreamforce 2025 Admin Keynote showcased a defining moment for Salesforce Admins. As the bridge between people, data, and intelligent agents, Admins are becoming the true enablers of the AI-first workplace.
By embracing new tools like Agentforce 360, mastering conversational design, and reinforcing trust through strong governance, Admins are shaping not just the future of Salesforce — but the future of work itself.
The era of the Agentic Enterprise has begun, and Admins are leading the way.
