Suzanne FonCORRESPONDENT
We have also AI capital in Switzerland, so I'm looking forward to see what's coming up.
Suzanne FonCORRESPONDENT
This week, more than 43,000 people will be at Moscone Center to hear what Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff has to say.
Suzanne FonCORRESPONDENT
And Thropping and OpenAI leaders will also be there.
Suzanne FonCORRESPONDENT
This comes as Anthropix CEO Dario Amadei released an explosive essay calling for an industry-wide slowdown of advanced AI capabilities.
Stephanie SierraHOST
Well, this week, thousands of people will be in San Francisco for Salesforce's annual Dreamforce conference.
Stephanie SierraHOST
Some of the featured speakers include Salesforce CEO Mark Benioff, executives from Anthropic and OpenAI, along with celebrities like Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon.
Stephanie SierraHOST
Usher and Gwen Stefani are this year's Dreamfest benefit concert headliners.
Stephanie SierraHOST
The conference will be running Tuesday through Thursday this week.
Matteo FranceschettiGUEST
No, it's lower than that, but it's, it's still in the millions.
Harry StebbingsHOST
And the thing I'm trying to understand is Marc Benioff said that they spend 300 million a year on Claude, and they have a 6 billion budget for engineering.
Harry StebbingsHOST
5% of engineering salary is being spent on Claude in particular.
Matteo FranceschettiGUEST
Yeah.
Jim CramerHOST
Now, as I said, let's go over what's frankly a truncated game plan for next week, as there are very few earnings on the horizon.
Jim CramerHOST
First, on Monday, we head out to San Francisco for the always market-moving Dreamforce, the incredible extravaganza thrown by Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff.
Jim CramerHOST
This year we have quite the state of people we are, a slate of people we're interviewing, including Hock Tan, Sarah Friar, David Risher, Vlad Tenev.
Jim CramerHOST
Wow.
Jim CramerHOST
If Iran decides to attack the carrier group with some drone swarms, though, then oil will spike, interest rates will flap, and the stock market will get clobbered.
Jim CramerHOST
Doesn't help that Iran's Houthi allies in Yemen m- might be able to block off the Red Sea.
Jim CramerHOST
On Tuesday, we're gonna interview Salesforce's Marc Benioff, who's now offering a cutting edge AI platform called Agentforce.
Jim CramerHOST
Jimmy introduced this on our show two years ago.
Jim CramerHOST
That's obviously, I don't want to call it a trade show.
Jim CramerHOST
It's an extravaganza thrown by Mark Benioff year after year to get the most people of any of these shows in Salesforce.
Jim CramerHOST
And two that I want to highlight, I mean, I've got some great people, obviously, but OpenAI, Sarah Fryer, and I think that OpenAI is fantastic.
Jim CramerHOST
Wherever OpenAI is, there's conversations that have to be heard.
QuinnHOST
It was like, oh, when Salesforce announced their earnings and it was like the stock jumped and there's that meme is I guess nobody's building their own CRMs.
QuinnHOST
But I think it's because at least Mark Benioff and them adopted and weren't like, oh, we're going to fight this.
QuinnHOST
Yeah.
DoomHOST
Yeah, totally not going to rest on their laurels.
Elizabeth MaxsonGUEST
not, though? I mean, if you think about it, if you do it up front and I've had meetings where, you know, we came in thinking this is the best keynote ever and you know gotten the worst feedback and but we took it and turned it around and that's what got us higher engagement scores that's what increased our you know meetings and things again going back to the business impact in sales and so i would argue why not do that why wait and just make assumptions that the content you're creating is the right content without actually, if you have the opportunity to create focus groups and bring in a trusted, you know, mini set of advisors along the way as a litmus test, like why not do that? I think it's well worth the time.
Elizabeth MaxsonGUEST
It's something that I actually admire that Mark Benioff does do at Salesforce, especially leading up to Dreamforce.
Elizabeth MaxsonGUEST
I mean, he spends a lot of time with customers and prospects and, you know, sharing in understanding focus groups of how this content is going to resonate.
Elizabeth MaxsonGUEST
And I think it's something pretty unique that Salesforce empowers marketing leaders to do as well.
Dan NathanPANELIST
Well, all right.
Dan NathanPANELIST
So if the CEO of Oracle, okay, was sitting next to Dario right after this report and Jim Cramer was interviewing him like they did with Benioff.
Dan NathanPANELIST
Like, you were gone, it was part of your thing when you were gone.
Guy AdamiPANELIST
[laughs]
Dan NathanPANELIST
But, you know, like, they report this number, the stock was trading up 5% in the after market.
Dan NathanPANELIST
Then they shoot to, you know, Benioff and Dario from, uh ...
Dan NathanPANELIST
And then the, the stock went berserk.
Dan NathanPANELIST
Like, literally, it went berserk.
Orlando BravoGUEST
Do you know
Brian SullivanHOST
Mark Benioff? I do.
Brian SullivanHOST
Like well? Pretty well.
Brian SullivanHOST
Like well enough to like deliver a message for me?
Matt PerrottHOST
Like they are pushing the agent experience very hard.
Matt PerrottHOST
Old Mark Benioff is out there, you know, rebranding Salesforce to Clawed Force and, you know.
Matt PerrottHOST
Isn't he the best?
Scott WilcoxHOST
He's just the best salesman in the world.
