Salesforce has announced plans to acquire Spindle AI, a specialist in agentic analytics and machine learning designed to enhance data-driven decision-making at scale.
Co-founded by Ryan Atallah and Carson Kahn, Spindle AI has built a reputation for its expertise in multi-agent systems and high-performance data applications. The company’s technology complements Salesforce’s analytics ecosystem, including Tableau, by enabling autonomous scenario modeling and business outcome forecasting.
With this acquisition, Salesforce aims to strengthen its Agent Observability and Self-Improvement capabilities within Agentforce—its platform for AI-driven customer and employee experiences. The integration will deliver tailored analytics, ROI forecasting, and continuous optimization for Agentforce users.
The move comes as enterprises increasingly struggle to extract actionable insights from complex data environments. Spindle AI’s platform tackles this challenge by combining neuro-symbolic AI agents with AI-native data systems, allowing organizations to autonomously analyze data, model scenarios, and simulate the potential impact of strategic decisions such as pricing or go-to-market changes.
“We built Spindle AI to intelligently close the gap between what questions enterprises want to ask of their data and what their data systems can understand,” said Ryan Atallah, co-founder and CEO, Spindle AI. “We have spent years solving the hardest problems in intelligent analytics, machine learning, and data infrastructure. Joining Agentforce allows us to deliver that deep technical focus directly to customers at scale, powering the next era of trusted, autonomous systems by accelerating Agent Observability and Self-Improvement features for Agentforce 360.”
“We aren’t just acquiring a platform; we’re bringing on world-class expertise,” said Jayesh Govindarajan, EVP Salesforce AI, Agentforce. “Ryan, Carson, and Spindle AI have proven expertise in the complex AI observability and multi-agent analytics functions that are critical for measuring and forecasting AI-driven value. We’re thrilled to have them join Agentforce to accelerate our roadmap and build the future of agentic systems.”
“The next generation of agentic systems will be measured by how well they can continuously monitor, explain, and improve their own reasoning,” said Carson Kahn, co-founder and Chief AI & Product Officer at Spindle AI. “We look forward to accelerating Agentforce with sophisticated agentic analytics and forecasting that make enterprise LLMs more reliable and valuable.”
Following the close of the deal, Spindle AI will be integrated into Agentforce 360, enhancing its analytics, forecasting, and optimization capabilities.
The acquisition is expected to finalize in Salesforce’s fourth fiscal quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
