AI/R Everymind, a subsidiary of AI/R—a technology company specializing in Agentic AI—has been named a recipient of the Salesforce Partner of the Year Award in the new Partner FDE Practice category. This recognition underscores the company's success in embedding engineers within client teams to securely scale Agentforce from pilot to full enterprise production. With a track record of over 2,000 successful Salesforce implementations and a global team of more than 500 Salesforce-certified professionals, AI/R Everymind stands as a Salesforce Summit Partner and a Top 5 Global Agentforce Partner.
The award highlights the critical role that partners play in helping organizations deploy AI rapidly and harness the full potential of the Agentic Enterprise. According to Salesforce, the partner ecosystem is a key catalyst for companies seeking to implement AI solutions effectively. By combining deep industry knowledge with Salesforce's trusted platform for AI, data, and CRM, partners like AI/R Everymind ensure that businesses can scale autonomous agents without friction, driving unprecedented success.
Gustavo Rodrigues, SVP of Business Apps at AI/R, emphasized the practical challenges of moving AI from concept to reality: "The hard part wasn't building an agent. The hard part was taking it to production and keeping it running there. We built this practice around putting our engineers inside our clients' environments, alongside their teams, because that's what narrows the gap between a demo and something a business depends on. The fact that Salesforce created this category tells us how much the standard has been raised."
Andrew Kisslo, Senior Vice President of Global Partner Strategy and Programs at Salesforce, acknowledged the pivotal contributions of partners: "Partners are at the center of everything we do at Salesforce. The pace of innovation has never been faster, and global companies 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 made significant contributions through AI agent implementations, measurable Agentforce success stories, and driving customer adoption that fuels real business growth. The full list of winners for this year's awards is available at Salesforce's official website.
This recognition arrives at a time when enterprises are increasingly looking to move beyond pilot projects and achieve scalable, production-grade AI deployments. AI/R Everymind's approach of embedding forward-deployed engineers directly into client teams addresses a common bottleneck: the gap between demonstrating an AI solution and integrating it into mission-critical operations. By providing engineering expertise on-site, the company helps clients overcome technical hurdles, manage change, and ensure that AI agents deliver tangible business outcomes.
As AI continues to transform industries, the role of specialized partners like AI/R Everymind becomes ever more vital. This award not only validates the company's methodology but also signals a broader industry trend toward hands-on, collaborative AI implementation strategies. For businesses aiming to leverage Salesforce's Agentforce and other AI tools, the lesson is clear: successful AI adoption requires more than just technology—it demands deep integration, continuous support, and a partnership approach that prioritizes real-world results.
