Dudao Tech, a Tsinghua-affiliated AI agent company, has closed a nearly 100 million yuan Series A+ round led by SAIF, according to a Sohu report.
The company's core focus is building what it calls an "agent compiler for the business world" — tooling that turns business requirements into executable agents for enterprise automation scenarios.

AI agents have become one of the hottest investment themes, with capital flowing toward companies that can put agents to work in real business settings; this round is the latest case in point.
What to watch next: Dudao Tech's product roadmap, customer deployments of its agent compiler, and how competition shapes up in the enterprise agent market.
Why it matters
The near-¥100M Series A+ shows capital doubling down on AI agents, with enterprise-grade agent deployment becoming a key investment focus.
