Salesforce Dreamforce 2025 Developer Keynote Highlights
In this blog, let’s explore the Salesforce Dreamforce 2025 Developer Keynote Highlights, which are packed with new announcements. This year, Dreamforce made one thing very clear: Salesforce must continue investing in AI to stay relevant in the future. The keynote focused on three big themes: agentic development, predictable agents, and conversational UX.
Salesforce Dreamforce 2025 Developer Keynote Highlights
Agentic Development with Agentforce Vibes
Agentforce Vibes is the upgraded version of Agentforce for Developers. Agentforce vibes is now capable of performing true multistep, agentic reasoning rather than simple single-response prompting. We can provide simple instructions in natural language, and Vibes can convert them into operational code.
It is also capable of solving its own errors and bugs when prompted. It is available in VS Code with the Agentforce extension, which makes it easy for us to access.
Here, we have given the simple instruction: “I want to write an Apex class which contains a method. This method will return an account records order by created date in a decreasing order.” to Vibe, indicating that we want to have an Apex class that will provide us with the account records. Below is the output attached that Vibe gave us.
We can again give the prompt to Vibe if we want any updates, or we can click on Save, and it will automatically create the Apex class and then also create the related test class for it.
To execute this task, Vibe performed the following 6 steps, from analysing the requirement to making it deployment-ready. Agentforce Vibe has done it all independently.
Predictable Agents
A standout moment in the Salesforce Dreamforce 2025 Developer Keynote Highlights was the announcement around predictable agents and Model Context Protocol (MCP). This allows agents to discover the tools they need to perform the task by themselves. Salesforce is building MCP, which will run locally on its own platform. Also, they mentioned the pilot version, which will be available by Spring 26.
Conversational UX
One of the most exciting themes of the keynote was the shift towards the conversational UX. They showed how the future user interaction will rely heavily on chat-based interfaces and agents that can guide users through complex processes.
They walked us through a paid campaign use case and showed how an agent can instantly generate responses that would normally take a lot of time and manual effort. Since these agents are grounded in rich, business-specific knowledge, they’re able to provide accurate answers along with personalized, actionable insights.
Apex Test Revolution
Salesforce has introduced runRelevantTests, which saves time during deployment by running only relevant Apex tests. We can define the testfor parameter with the @isTest parameter, where we can explicitly name multiple apex classes or triggers that a test has to run. This feature is expected to come in Spring ’26.
Below is the sample syntax
Other Apex Enhancements
There are not many major announcements, but still, we have some other apex enhancements, including the test discovery API is now GA. Also, the cursor class in Apex is in GA. fetchPage is for a better and smoother pagination experience.
Scale Centre Available to All Customers
Earlier, Scale Centre and Apex Guru were only available in the unlimited edition, but at this Dreamforce, it has been announced that they are now available to all customers. Also, Apex Guru Runtime insights are now available in Code Analyser in Agentforce Vibes. Scale Centre provides us with the metrics we use to check our org’s performance and gives us insights into Apex performance, Flows, and the database. Also reports the governor’s limits.
Now, Salesforce has even introduced a Scale Centre agent that helps teams through metrics and identifies problematic areas. By introducing Agentforce in the Scale Centre, checking all these insights becomes simpler and conversational. An agent can also tell you how to resolve or fix any hotspot. And all this is possible because the agent is well aware of our orgs metadata and the runtime information we provide.
Also, during the demo, they showed us how Scale Agent triggered the alert on the Slack channel as soon as it detected any issue. Not only does it give us the alert, but by uses the MCP server agent to pull the information and points out the specific issue. Then developers can ask the Agentforce vibes to analyse the code and give the fix. The MCP server is configured, and as soon as we ask the agent about the code, it pulls ApexGuru in the backend to gather the information or highlights about the issue.
LWC Advances with Live Preview
The major announcement on LWC is the local preview feature. This will enable us to view our LWC component locally, directly in VS Code. This will help us to verify the component before actually deploying it to the org. We have installed some plugins and need to enable local dev in our org

FAQs
1. How many premium AI calls does Vibes allow?
Each org gets 50 daily premium model calls, powered by GPT-5, before switching to the fallback Qwen3 model.
2. What is the purpose of the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?
MCP allows agents to automatically decide which tools or capabilities they need to perform tasks.
Conclusion
The Salesforce Dreamforce 2025 Developer Keynote Highlights is not just about some demos, but it paints a future where AI, agentic workflows, conversational interfaces, and observability reshape the Salesforce developer experience. We have seen some major announcements in the Agentforce area, and also, there were some quite good announcements regarding the Apext Test class and LWC. While some features are already live but there are still some of them which is expected to be released.
