SIforce is the new name for AIforce, Salesforce's agentic integration layer. CEO Marc Benioff announced the rename on X on October 9, 2026, writing: "The era of Super Intelligence is here. AIForce is officially SIForce." If you searched for "what products were renamed from AIforce to SIforce", the short answer is one: AIforce itself. This guide explains what changed, what did not, and what it means for admins and developers.
Quick Answer: What Was Renamed?
| Earlier name | Current name | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Headless 360 | (became AIforce) | April 2026 – September 2026 |
| AIforce | (became SIforce) | September 15, 2026 – October 9, 2026 |
| SIforce | Current name | October 9, 2026 – present |
That makes SIforce the third name for the same feature in just over six months. As of the coverage we reviewed, no other Salesforce product was reported as renamed from "AI" to "SI". Agentforce, Einstein and the other Salesforce products were not mentioned in the rename reports.
What Are AIforce and SIforce?
AIforce, now SIforce, is a live interface layer. It connects Salesforce data, workflows, permissions and security to any AI interface or agent. The idea began with Headless 360, announced in April 2026, and was branded AIforce at Dreamforce 2026. Related offerings tracked under it include Claudeforce, Slackforce and Agentforce Coworker.
The rename changed the label, not the product. Coverage found no new features, benchmarks or technical changes announced with it.
Why Did Salesforce Rename AIforce to SIforce?
Salesforce has not published an official explanation. The timing points to a U.S. executive order titled "Inaugurating The Era of Super Intelligence," reported as Executive Order 14434 and dated September 29, 2026. It directs federal agencies to use "Super Intelligence" and "SI" in place of "artificial intelligence" and "AI". Salesforce's growing government and public-sector business is the likely connection, but that is commentators' interpretation, not a statement from the company.
The order applies to the executive branch. It does not require private companies to rename products, and it does not change the legal definition of AI or rules such as the EU AI Act.
What Has Not Changed?
- The product itself: the layer still connects Salesforce data and workflows to AI tools and agents.
- Agentforce: no rename was reported. See Agentforce Explained for what it does.
- Claudeforce: the Salesforce and Anthropic partnership was not reported as renamed. Read Claudeforce Explained.
- Your permissions and security model: nothing in the announcement alters them.
What Should Admins and Developers Do?
- Don't rewrite anything yet. Nothing technical changed, and Salesforce's own site and documentation may take time to catch up.
- Check contracts and order forms. If a document names AIforce, confirm with your account executive whether the name will be updated.
- Search both names. When looking up docs, release notes or community posts, search "AIforce", "SIforce" and "Headless 360".
- Watch for confusion. In project plans, "SI" is also common shorthand for "systems integrator". Spell the product name out in writing.
- Wait for official guidance. As of this writing only Benioff's post confirms the rename. Check Salesforce release notes before changing internal documents.
