Why the AI callout originates from inside Salesforce, and why this piece has no live public demo.

## WHY_APEX_NATIVE_AI


Every other AI feature on this site calls out to Salesforce data from an external Python backend. Dispatch deliberately inverts that direction: the Anthropic callout originates from Apex, inside Salesforce itself, via a Named Credential. That’s the harder, more Salesforce-native pattern to demonstrate — proving the platform can be the caller, not just the thing being called into — and it’s the direct, complementary counterpart to Credential Flow’s own Anthropic-powered recommendation feature: same “explain the why” pattern, opposite direction of integration.

## WHY_NO_LIVE_DEMO


Exposing a free-tier Salesforce Developer Edition org’s Partner Community login publicly risks two real problems: credential abuse (anyone can log in and start using the org) and governor-limit exhaustion (a free org has hard per-24-hour API and Apex execution limits shared across every user of the org — a public login could exhaust them for no real benefit). Neither risk is worth taking just to let a portfolio visitor click around a live login, so this piece stays demonstrated through screenshots and this written record instead of a working public link.
