Bolt.new acquires Dokai to expand its enterprise agent team

Bolt.new announced its first acquisition, buying Dokai, a San Francisco startup that developed autonomous agents for enterprise go-to-market work. Dokai co-founder Gerry Fernando Patia and the rest of its team are joining Bolt.new’s AI and machine-learning organization. Bolt.new, built by StackBlitz, lets users create full-stack web applications through natural-language instructions, while Dokai focused on agents that carry out work inside enterprise software. The companies say their shared approach is to use natural language as an interface for directing complex workflows.

Dokai’s agents handled sales tasks including prospect research, account prioritization, data enrichment and CRM operations. The company described its systems as able to execute multi-step work across enterprise platforms based on natural-language directions. Its orchestration layer was designed to let agents plan and complete work in those systems without a person guiding each step. Bolt.new says the acquired team brings production experience deploying agents within enterprise environments, rather than only building demonstrations.

Bolt.new said the technology will become part of its platform and support agents handling more complex, longer-running software builds. The company also plans to use it to help customer-built applications connect with enterprise systems, including CRM platforms and internal data sources. These are stated plans, not capabilities the announcement says are already available to customers. Bolt.new expects enterprise customers to see the first features built on Dokai technology in late fall.

The acquisition comes as Bolt.new describes growth in its enterprise business. The company said roughly half of its enterprise customers begin building before signing a contract, and that the average customer deploys a first application within 34 days. The companies did not disclose the deal’s financial terms. Bolt.new also says its platform integrates with Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 for enterprise development teams.

For AI builders, the announcement is about bringing an agent team and its enterprise workflow technology into a natural-language software development platform. Dokai’s original focus included agents that operate across sales systems, while Bolt.new’s stated plans center on longer-running builds and connections between generated applications and company systems. The announced timing gives customers a future milestone to watch, but the source does not specify which capabilities will arrive first or provide further rollout details.
