Our Story
Born from a vision to revolutionize how enterprises interact with AI, Blits.ai has been at the forefront of conversational AI since 2018.
A Vision Born from Frustration
It was 2018. While working at a global consulting firm, Len Debets witnessed firsthand how large enterprises were spending millions on chatbot solutions, only to end up disappointed. The technology wasn't living up to the hype, and businesses were left with rigid, underwhelming systems that couldn't adapt to their needs.
But Len saw something different. While experimenting with IBM Watson's API, he recognized the true potential of conversational AI. The world was changing. The way humans would interact with computers was about to fundamentally shift, from clicking buttons to having natural conversations.
"We're going to talk to our computers, not just click through menus."
This realization sparked the idea for Blits.ai, a platform designed to give large enterprises the control, flexibility, and power they needed to build truly effective conversational AI solutions.

The Partnership
Two minds, one vision
Two Founders, One Mission
Enter Paul Coerkamp. With a background in business strategy and a keen eye for market opportunities, Paul saw the same potential Len did. Together, they formed an unstoppable duo, combining deep technical expertise with strategic business acumen.
While still at the consulting firm, they began building the foundation of what would become Blits.ai. Late nights, countless experiments, and unwavering belief in their vision. They weren't just building a product; they were architecting the future of enterprise AI.
Their goal was ambitious: Put Blits.ai on the international map and prove that conversational AI could be both powerful and practical for large organizations.
Going Independent
The prototype worked. Major enterprises saw the potential. The first customers signed on, validating years of hard work and countless iterations.
But Len and Paul knew that to truly realize their vision, they needed to go all-in. In 2020, they made the leap, Blits.ai became a 100% independent startup.
The transition wasn't easy. Building a company from scratch never is. But every challenge taught them something valuable. Every client project revealed new insights. Every deployment in production environments at major banks and international corporations strengthened their understanding of what enterprise-grade really means.
"From day one, Blits.ai was built for enterprise, security, scale, and functionality aren't afterthoughts, they're foundational."
