As Stony Grunow, CoFounder of Breadwinner, stated:

“AgentExchange is still in its early days, but thanks to the vision and dedication of leaders like Trish Phillips and Amy Gorman, partners like Breadwinner have a platform to innovate and expand what’s possible for Salesforce customers. Our mutual success is tied together — the stronger the partner ecosystem, the stronger Salesforce becomes.” 

AgentExchange sits alongside AppExchange, but its focus is different: it provides reusable AI building blocks that help teams accelerate sales, service, finance, and analytics work without leaving Salesforce.
