On September 29, 2026, Bolt.new, the StackBlitz platform that lets anyone build full-stack web applications through natural language, announced its first acquisition. The company has acquired Dokai, a San Francisco artificial intelligence startup that built autonomous agents for enterprise go-to-market workflows, though financial terms were not disclosed. Dokai co-founder Gerry Fernando Patia and his team will join Bolt.new's AI and machine learning organization, bringing production experience deploying autonomous agents inside enterprise systems.
A Shared Vision for Autonomous Agents
Bolt.new and Dokai were founded on a common thesis: natural language can replace code as the primary interface between people and complex workflows. Bolt.new enables users to build software through conversation, while Dokai applied the same principle to enterprise sales by building AI agents that executed prospect research, account tiering, and CRM enrichment on their own. Both companies developed autonomous, action-taking AI systems, with the primary difference being their domain of application.
Enterprise Traction and Strategic Fit
Bolt.new's enterprise business is compounding: roughly half of its enterprise customers begin building before their contract is signed, and the average customer deploys a first application within 34 days. The acquisition brings in a team with direct production experience deploying autonomous agents inside enterprise systems. Eric Simons, CEO and co-founder of Bolt.new, said enterprise buyers care whether an agent does the work every day inside the systems they already run, and the Dokai team has been doing exactly that.
Dokai Technology to Strengthen the Platform
As part of the acquisition, Dokai's agent technology will become part of the Bolt.new platform. The startup's orchestration layer was built to let agents plan and complete multi-step work inside enterprise systems without a person in the loop. Within Bolt.new, that foundation will strengthen how platform agents handle complex, longer-running builds and how applications connect to enterprise systems such as CRMs and internal data sources.
Availability and Team Integration
Enterprise customers will see the first capabilities built on Dokai technology in late fall. The acquisition also deepens the AI and machine learning team responsible for those agents. Gerry Fernando Patia, co-founder of Dokai, said joining Bolt.new gives the team's belief that natural language can run production workflows its largest canvas: software itself.
About the Companies
Bolt.new, built by StackBlitz, is an AI-powered platform for full-stack web development. Users build, run, and deploy complete applications through natural language, and the platform integrates with Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 to bring AI-native development to enterprise teams worldwide. Dokai was founded in San Francisco by Gerry Fernando Patia and Rio Atmadja to explore how AI agents could automate complex, repetitive work inside enterprise software.
Dokai's Evolution
Dokai was backed by Character Capital and ERA. The company initially focused on teaching AI to learn enterprise workflows through demonstration before evolving into an AI go-to-market engineering platform for enterprise sales teams. Its autonomous agents executed multi-step workflows spanning prospect research, account prioritization and tiering, data enrichment, and CRM operations, turning natural-language instructions into work carried out directly across enterprise systems.
With its first acquisition, Bolt.new signals an intent to deepen its enterprise AI capabilities and accelerate the use of autonomous agents in real production environments. The combination of Dokai's orchestration experience and Bolt.new's natural-language development platform could help enterprise teams move from idea to deployed application more quickly. As the first Dokai-powered capabilities arrive in late fall, the acquisition positions Bolt.new to expand what conversational AI can accomplish inside modern software organizations.
