Salesforce Connects Gemini Enterprise to Its Data Without Custom Integrations

Salesforce and Google Cloud have expanded their partnership to let Gemini Enterprise reach Salesforce data and business functions without companies building custom integrations. The promise is a more connected setup for AI agents, but the pieces are arriving on different schedules: some are available now, while a key connector and Salesforce’s cloud migration remain planned.

A bridge from AI prompts to business work

The connection relies on Salesforce’s headless architecture, a design that makes its data and functions available to outside models, agents and interfaces. Salesforce says the Gemini Enterprise link is built on the Model Context Protocol, an open standard for connecting AI systems with external tools and context.

Joint customers can already use Gemini models inside Salesforce’s Agentforce to build agents across both platforms. Salesforce Data 360 and Google BigQuery are also expanding data sharing to more regions, a step intended to make data available across the two companies’ systems without copying it between them.

Salesforce workloads move onto Google Cloud

The infrastructure portion centers on Hyperforce, Salesforce’s platform environment, running on Google Cloud. It is already handling live production customer traffic, according to the companies. The planned migration gives customers a route to Google Cloud infrastructure, data services and Gemini Enterprise while keeping Salesforce as the business platform.

The deal also reaches shopping

Commerce Cloud customers are planned to gain checkout inside Google Search, including AI Mode, and the Gemini app in October. The companies say merchants would keep payments, compliance and order management on their existing Commerce Cloud infrastructure, even as shoppers buy through Google’s surfaces.
