"The V2MOM had nothing about generative AI," Parker Harris, who co-founded the company with Benioff, told CNBC in an interview.
Harris, a Salesforce board member and now the technology chief of Slack, which Salesforce bought in 2021, said he'd rather avoid the limelight.
Without the Data Cloud, Harris told CNBC, "I think we would have been in a much worse place."
He told Benioff he'd redo the plan, the person said.
They'll be talking more frequently, as Harris said they're about to kick off weekly meetings on Slack and Salesforce integrations.
