What it makes harder to question

How the spin works
It combines the credibility signals of two trusted enterprise brands (Salesforce + Anthropic) and the linguistic weight of 'AI-native' and 'seamless' to make the launch feel like a market-defining event. The framing makes the conceptual leap — from plugin to category — feel larger than warranted, while the article offers zero evidence of real-world functionality, reliability, or differentiation beyond naming and branding.
