Salesforce’s flagship conference, Dreamforce, returns this year from September 15-17 and promises another few days of big product announcements, AI advancements, and connection opportunities. 

Although there’s around a month until the event kicks off, Salesforce has begun teasing some of the updates attendees and Trailblazers can look forward to, which is exactly what we’ll cover in this article. Let’s dive in. 

What Did We See Last Dreamforce?

Like with nearly everything to do with Salesforce or the tech sector in general, Dreamforce ‘25 celebrated a wealth of advancements in artificial intelligence. We saw the introduction of Agentforce 360, the latest installment of Salesforce’s proprietary AI product, as well as a fresh new look for Data Cloud (now Data 360) and enhancements to Slack, among other updates.

A few months later, at this year’s TrailblazerDX conference, Salesforce announced Headless 360, its agentic operating layer, as well as Agentforce Vibes 2.0 and Agent Fabric

What’s Coming Next?

In case you missed it, Salesforce recently teased part of its product roadmap, particularly what’s coming next for its Headless Experience Layer (HXL) and its Multi-Agent Framework.

Last month, Multi-Framework React became GA. This allows Salesforce users to bring existing React apps, dashboards, and micro-frontends and run them natively on the Agentforce 360 Platform. The Multi-Framework aspect allows React apps to interact with other apps on the same platform, with authentication, security, and governance already built in. 

Alongside that, Vibe HXL Widgets entered Beta, as well as HXL channels, including Lightning, Slackbot, Microsoft Teams, ChatGPT, and Claude

Dreamforce Updates

Salesforce has indicated that at least four new tools will enter GA come Dreamforce, with two of them being what we have just covered: HXL Widgets and HXL Channels.

The other two are an HXL Widget Builder and Micro-Frontends. Julie Thompson, the Senior Director of Product Management at Salesforce, calls the HXL Widget Builder a “way to get away from the coding side” of agentic building.

She also confirmed that Vibe support will be further enhanced and that more HXL channels, including Gemini, will become available. 

On the Multi-Framework side, Micro-Frontends will be able to help Salesforce users when they want better code scalability, allowing them to interact with multiple UI frameworks all in one place. 

Alice Oh, the Director of Product Management at Salesforce, explained the significance of Multi-Framework Angular support entering Beta by Dreamforce. According to user surveys, many users are currently building with Angular, making this new addition likely to be well received. 

Final Thoughts

With Dreamforce fast approaching, Salesforce has made it clear that its Headless experience will be a significant area of development going forward.
