Incorta Acquires Layout.dev to Forge Agentic AI Future for Enterprises

FOSTER CITY, CA – February 18, 2026 – Incorta, a decision intelligence platform known for its real-time data analytics, today announced its acquisition of Layout.dev, a no-code AI application-building platform. The strategic move is designed to accelerate the enterprise shift away from static, historical dashboards and toward dynamic, AI-driven decision workflows. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The acquisition will see Layout.dev’s technology integrated directly into the Incorta platform, creating a full-stack solution for what the company terms “Agentic AI.” This integration aims to empower business teams and developers to build and deploy intelligent applications and autonomous agentic workflows directly on top of Incorta’s live enterprise data foundation.

The Dawn of Agentic AI in the Enterprise

This acquisition places Incorta at the forefront of a significant technological shift toward Agentic AI. Unlike traditional AI models that primarily respond to human prompts, agentic systems are designed for autonomy. They can perceive their environment, reason through multi-step problems, make independent decisions, and take actions to achieve predefined goals with minimal human intervention. For enterprises, this translates into the potential for unprecedented efficiency, automating complex workflows that span multiple departments and software systems.

Industry analysts predict a massive surge in the adoption of these systems. IDC forecasts that by 2026, 40% of all G2000 job roles will involve collaboration with AI agents, which are expected to drive smarter, faster decision-making and unlock significant cost savings. Incorta’s move positions it to capture a piece of this emerging market by providing the foundational tools necessary for building and deploying these agents securely within an enterprise context.

“AI creates value when it’s embedded in how people work,” said Osama Elkady, co-founder and CEO of Incorta. “We are building the best agentic AI for enterprise data. That takes two layers: a live data foundation with full context that makes enterprise data usable, and an agentic layer that turns it into actions. With Layout.dev, we’re accelerating that second layer so teams can build and deploy intelligent workflows and agents, quickly and natively, on trusted, governed live data.”

From Static Dashboards to Dynamic Workflows

The traditional business intelligence model, reliant on static dashboards and historical reports, is increasingly seen as inadequate for the pace of modern business. These systems often depend on complex and brittle data pipelines, leading to latency and a backward-looking view of operations. Incorta has long sought to solve this with its proprietary Direct Data Mapping™ technology, which enables real-time analytics directly on source data without cumbersome data extraction and transformation processes.

By acquiring Layout.dev, Incorta is adding a crucial component to its stack: a user-friendly interface for action. Layout.dev specialized in transforming simple text descriptions into functional, modern web application prototypes using AI, complete with clean, editable code. Integrating this capability will allow Incorta users to not only analyze live data but also to rapidly build the intelligent applications and agentic workflows that act on those insights.

This combination promises to transform how businesses interact with their data, moving from passive analysis to proactive, automated decision-making. For example, a supply chain manager could use an agentic workflow to automatically detect a potential disruption from live shipping data, analyze its impact on production schedules, and initiate orders from alternate suppliers, all within a single, unified system.

“Joining Incorta gives us the opportunity to bring modern front-end development directly into the enterprise data stack,” said Ahmed Riyad, CEO of Layout.dev, who previously spent a decade at Incorta, rising to Director of Engineering. “Together, we’ll help teams build intelligent applications that are faster to develop and easier to evolve. Incorta’s live data foundation and governance model make it the ideal platform to scale what we’ve built and bring agentic workflows to the business with the controls enterprises require.”

Empowering Business Users While Maintaining Governance

A key challenge in enterprise AI adoption is the bottleneck created by reliance on centralized IT teams to develop and deploy new applications. Incorta’s acquisition of a no-code platform directly addresses this issue, aiming to democratize AI development. The integrated solution will provide business users in departments like finance, operations, and supply chain with the tools to design, test, and deploy their own agentic workflows without needing deep technical expertise.

This self-service model is designed to foster agility and innovation closer to the business units that understand the problems best. However, this democratization does not come at the expense of security or control. A core part of the strategy is to keep governance firmly in the hands of IT. The platform will enable IT departments to function as a command center, managing data access, setting security policies, and standardizing successful AI agents and workflows for broader use across the organization. This balanced approach is critical for regulated industries and large enterprises where data security and compliance are paramount.

A Strategic Play in a Competitive Data Landscape

This acquisition is a calculated strategic move for Incorta, which was recognized as a “Niche Player” in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Analytics and BI Platforms. In a market dominated by giants like Microsoft, Google, and Salesforce—all of whom are aggressively embedding their own generative and agentic AI features like Copilot and Vertex AI—differentiation is key. By offering a tightly integrated, full-stack solution for Agentic AI, from the data source to the interactive application, Incorta is carving out a distinct and compelling value proposition.

The move capitalizes on a record year of growth for the company, signaling an aggressive investment to accelerate its product roadmap and solidify its competitive position. By providing a unified platform that sidesteps the complexity of stitching together disparate tools from the modern data stack, Incorta aims to offer a more streamlined and powerful path for enterprises eager to harness the power of autonomous AI. The initial integration will focus on delivering interactive, AI-assisted workflows for finance and supply chain operations, where the demand for real-time, adaptive intelligence is most acute. The goal is to help IT serve as a more efficient command center, governing access and standardizing what works across the business.
