OpenAI has quietly begun offering some large customers a pay-per-outcome model, charging only when its AI successfully completes tasks such as customer support requests, according to The Information. The shift joins a broader industry move away from flat subscriptions toward usage- and results-based billing, led by startups like Sierra, Fin, and Cognition.

Salesforce and Anthropic unveiled Claudeforce, a plugin with 37 pre-built sales skills that lets Claude access Salesforce data and take actions like composing emails and updating records. The move comes as Salesforce shares have fallen 22% in 2026 amid investor concerns that AI could replace SaaS platforms.

Slack has launched Slack Code, a feature that gives AI coding agents dedicated project channels where developers and non-technical staff can watch, review, and redirect their work in real time. Anthropic, GitHub, OpenAI, Cognition, and Vercel are building integrations, bringing Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT, and Devin into Slack's group chat environment.
