Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) Gobbles Up Doti—Here’s How Its AI Ambitions Just Got Smarter
Another day, another acquisition—Salesforce just snapped up AI startup Doti to turbocharge its agentic AI play. Because what’s a tech giant without a shopping spree?

Doti has developed an AI-based “enterprise brain” that helps firms securely access and act on internal knowledge in real time. Its agentic search tools can streamline information discovery and decision-making across complex enterprise systems.
Salesforce will add Doti’s technology into its AI R&D hub in Israel to improve search capabilities and build better knowledge tools.
Also, Slack will be the primary interface for these new features, enabling seamless collaboration between employees and AI agents. Users will be able to retrieve insights, trigger workflows, and interact with enterprise data, all within a single, chat-based environment.
Salesforce’s Agentic Enterprise Push
This acquisition aligns with Salesforce’s push into building an “agentic enterprise,” where autonomous AI agents can reason, retrieve, and act across its ecosystem.
The company is actively developing its Agentforce platform to deploy these agents across Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Slack, automating tasks such as lead qualification, case resolution, and pipeline forecasting.
Salesforce is also opening up tools for developers to build and deploy custom agents using low-code tools and Apex, allowing tailored automation across industries.
With Doti’s acquisition, Salesforce is boosting its AI tools and taking a big step toward building smarter, more automated workplaces.
