AI/R Everymind, a subsidiary of AI/R, a technology company specializing in agentic AI, announced it has been honored with the Salesforce Partner of the Year Award in the category of Partner FDE Practice. This recognition underscores the company's approach of embedding engineers directly into client teams to safely scale Agentforce from pilot to production across the enterprise. With a track record of 2,000 successful Salesforce implementations and a global team of over 500 Salesforce-certified professionals, AI/R Everymind is recognized as a Salesforce Summit Partner and a Top 5 Global Agentforce Partner.
Gustavo Rodrigues, SVP of Business Apps at AI/R, emphasized the practical challenges of AI deployment: "The hard part wasn't building an agent. The hard part was getting it into production and keeping it there. We built this practice around placing our engineers inside our clients' environments, alongside their teams, because that is what closes the gap between a demonstration and something a business relies on. The fact that Salesforce created this category shows how much the bar has been raised."
The recognition comes at a time when Salesforce's partner ecosystem is increasingly vital for organizations seeking to deploy AI rapidly and unlock the full potential of the Agentic Enterprise. By combining deep industry knowledge with Salesforce's trusted AI, data, and CRM platform, partners like AI/R Everymind are enabling companies to scale autonomous agents seamlessly, driving unprecedented business outcomes. Salesforce's global partner strategy leadership praised such efforts, with Andrew Kisslo, Senior Vice President of Global Partner Strategy and Programs, noting, "Partners are at the center of everything we do at Salesforce. The pace of innovation has never been faster, and global businesses are turning to our ecosystem to turn technology into real, measurable success. From deploying Agentforce to reimagining workflows in Slack and activating trusted data with Data 360, partners are at the forefront of redefining how companies operate."
The 14th annual Partner of the Year Awards celebrate partners who have significantly contributed to Salesforce's mission through AI agent implementations, measurable Agentforce success stories, and driving customer adoption that fuels real business growth. The category for FDE practice specifically recognizes partners that integrate engineers into client teams, a model that AI/R Everymind has pioneered.
This award highlights the growing importance of forward-deployed engineering in the AI landscape. As companies move beyond proofs of concept, the need for skilled professionals who can navigate the complexities of production environments becomes critical. AI/R Everymind's model addresses this by ensuring that engineers work hand-in-hand with client stakeholders to deliver sustainable outcomes. The company's expertise spans multiple industries, allowing it to tailor solutions that meet specific business needs while aligning with Salesforce's Agentforce capabilities.
For AI/R, this recognition validates its strategic focus on agentic AI and its commitment to bridging the gap between technical capability and business results.
