NVIDIA Nemotron Is Now Available in Agentforce
Salesforce is partnering with NVIDIA to bring AI agents across regulated and on-premises environments.
The announcement came during NVIDIA’s annual GTC conference, taking place in San Jose, California, between March 16 and 19.
What’s New for Agentforce?
Salesforce announced that NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano, which is part of the NVIDIA Agent Toolkit, is available within Agentforce.
The one-million token context window lets agents reason across long customer histories, large documents, and complex workflows without losing context, while its Mixture of Experts architecture helps it boost computational efficiency, reduce reasoning tokens, and lower compute demand and cost in multi-step agent workflows.
Salesforce says that its partnership with NVIDIA is developing reference architectures that clearly define how orchestration, data grounding, infrastructure, and collaboration fit together:
- Slack as the collaboration layer.
- Slackbot as the coordination layer.
- Agentforce as the reasoning, execution, and agency layer.
- Data 360 as the context layer.
- NVIDIA AI infrastructure and Nemotron models as an accelerated AI processing layer.
“This removes ambiguity and enables customers to implement secure, scalable agent solutions with confidence,” Salesforce said in a statement.
Customers in regulated industries can deploy Nemotron models on NVIDIA AI infrastructure in on-premises or tightly controlled, private-cloud environments. This allows organizations to keep model processing within their own security boundary and adhere to strict compliance and data residency requirements.
Slackbot receives requests from Slack users, triggers Agentforce workflows, and orchestrates agent actions across enterprise systems. “A request in Slack can trigger an Agentforce workflow, reason over Data 360 context, invoke Nemotron-powered processing, and execute approved retrieval actions across enterprise systems before returning recommendations into the conversation,” Salesforce said in a statement.
A regulated financial services company, for instance, could have a compliance agent reviewing transactions, applying policy rules, and surfacing risk signals in a secure Slack channel, Salesforce says.
A healthcare organization might have extensive case histories summarized at scale as data access controls, defined within Salesforce, are enforced.
Final Thoughts: NVIDIA’s Confidence Boost
Salesforce partnering with NVIDIA isn’t new. Dreamforce ‘24 saw an announcement that the two tech giants were pairing up, and in September 2025, it was announced that NVIDIA and Salesforce – among others – would be collectively investing $43B into the UK artificial intelligence sector.
Regulated industries, like healthcare and financial services, have much to be gained from becoming “agentic enterprises”, Salesforce might say, but the risk is also compounded. When the stakes are low, say, with a hotel booking agent, a hallucination or malfunction here or there isn’t ideal, but it’s not catastrophic. The same cannot be said in regulated industries.
Getting NVIDIA’s AI infrastructure to provide an AI processing layer for Agentforce is yet another reassurance from Salesforce that its AI tools are beneficial.
