Salesforce Inc. on Tuesday launched a new development tool, Agentforce Vibes, that uses large language models to automate manual programming tasks.
The software works with VS Code, a popular open-source code editor. Agentforce Vibes also supports third-party distributions of the editor. It can generate code using GPT-5, Salesforce's internally-developed xGen series of LLMs and models that customers host on their own infrastructure.
The company says that Agentforce Vibes can generate code, test it and automatically fix the bugs it finds. The tool can use Salesforce's Apex programming language to build applications that run on the cloud giant's platform. Agentforce Vibes also supports other syntaxes including HTML and CSS, which are geared interface development.
Salesforce says that competing vibe coding tools are suitable for prototyping tasks, but often struggle to generate production-grade code. According to the company, the reason is that rivals lack production-grade cybersecurity and regulatory compliance features. It claims that Agentforce Vibes fares better in that department.
The tool is compatible with Salesforce Sandboxes, which are isolated cloud environments that developers can use to test AI-generated code. The feature makes it possible to search for cybersecurity issues before a workload rolls out to production. Agentforce Vibes also finds other problems such as performance bottlenecks.
Software teams that adopt the tool can use Trust Layer, a component built into Salesforce's platform, to prevent their applications' LLMs from generating harmful output. The module filters prompt responses that contain data such as credit card numbers.
Agentforce Vibes can tailor the code it outputs to a company's Salesforce environment. It does so by taking into account the environment's schema, a file that describes how business records are formatted. That capability and several of Agentforce Vibes' other features are powered by an artificial intelligence agent dubbed Vibe Codey.
"Vibe Codey is context-aware, meaning it has a deep understanding of your Salesforce project structure and organization's metadata," Dan Fernandez, Salesforce's vice president of products for developer services, wrote in a blog post. "Vibe Codey can discover, analyze, and reuse existing code, and adhere to coding standards for greater consistency and collaboration."
On launch, Agentforce Vibes supports a "limited number" of prompts per user. Salesforce plans to roll out a feature that will enable customers to raise the tool's usage caps for a fee. Additionally, the cloud giant will introduce support for more additional coding models.
