Salesforce Plunges 5.8% Amid AI Agent Fears

Salesforce shares fell 5.8% due to a new agentic capability released by Anthropic, which can mimic the open-source Openclaw AI assistant and execute tasks on a computer. The update has investors concerned about the potential disruption of traditional software. However, Salesforce has partnered with Anthropic and owns a 1% stake in the company, indicating that the partnership may help mitigate the impact of agentic AI.
