Replace Jira and Linear with a 6-stage Bolt pipeline, managed CLAUDE.md governance, auto-dispatched Claude Code sessions, and Intent Documents that give every Bolt a clear AI-ready spec. Per-seat pricing. Starter is free forever.
Built by Elevate · Trusted by 500+ AI-first engineering teams
From AI agent orchestration to stakeholder feedback — BoltOps manages the entire journey from intent to production.
Auto-dispatch Claude sessions on Bolt stage transitions. Full prompt capture, output rendering, cost tracking, and session transcripts.
Dispatch work to AI agent teams with budget controls, approval gates, and deliverable tracking across your entire org.
Share Bolt artifacts with anyone via expiring, view-limited links. Severity-rated feedback — no login required.
Intent → Generate → Verify → Review → Iterate → Ship. Drag-and-drop Kanban with AI-powered stages and human gates.
Per-project AI coding guidelines managed as a first-class primitive. Version control, section ownership, and auto repo sync.
Cycle time, throughput, token usage, and per-agent cost analytics with executive-ready dashboards.
Enterprise-grade security with audit logging, account lockout, password complexity enforcement, HSTS, and org-scoped data isolation via RLS.
BoltOps is opinionated about who ships software in an AI-first team. Every feature maps to one of three jobs-to-be-done.
"Run your releases like a train."
Owns velocity, quality, and cadence. Runs Release Trains across multiple Bolts and needs visibility into completion, blockers, and scope before shipping. Gets out of the standup loop and into the data.
"Your CLAUDE.md, managed."
The primary daily user. Runs the Bolts, dispatches Claude Code sessions, and lives in the kanban. Needs CLAUDE.md always current, native integration with the AI tools they already pay for, and zero context-switch friction.
"Write the intent once."
Defines what gets built. Replaces ambiguous Jira tickets with structured Intent Documents that give every Bolt a clear, AI-ready specification. Tracks status without interrupting the engineers in flow.
Write the spec once — let AI fill in the details
Product managers author structured Intent Documents with titles, priorities, and project assignments. Hit “Generate with Claude” to auto-fill user stories, acceptance criteria, and edge cases.
Claude Code and Paperclip agents do the heavy lifting
When a Bolt enters the Generate stage, Claude Code auto-dispatches a coding session. Paperclip agents handle orchestration, QA, and design. You stay in control with approval gates and budget limits.
Magic links for feedback, Release Trains to ship
Generate shareable magic links for any Bolt. Stakeholders review and submit severity-rated feedback without logging in. Release Captains coordinate Bolts into Release Trains with scope gates.
See how teams are shipping 73% faster with BoltOps.
"The Claude Code integration changed everything. Our Bolts auto-dispatch AI sessions on stage transitions — we went from ‘managing AI tools’ to ‘orchestrating AI agents’ with full cost visibility."
"Magic links are a game-changer for client reviews. I share a Bolt artifact, the client gives severity-rated feedback without signing up, and the feedback flows right into our iterate cycle."
"Paperclip budget controls saved us. We set per-agent spending limits, approval gates for expensive operations, and now I can see exactly what each AI agent costs per sprint."
Jira, Linear, and Shortcut bolt AI on as an add-on. BoltOps is the first sprint management platform built from the ground up around how AI-first engineering teams actually ship: Bolt cycles, CLAUDE.md as a workflow primitive, and Intent Documents that replace ambiguous tickets.
A Bolt is a 4–8 hour AI development work cycle. Six stages, from intent to ship, with AI-powered transitions and human gates. Designed for the work AI agents actually do — not retrofitted from a 2009 Scrum textbook.
No other sprint tool knows your repo has a CLAUDE.md, let alone manages it. BoltOps treats it as a versioned, governed primitive — section ownership, sync to repo, and policy enforcement so your $2,000/mo in Claude Code subscriptions actually works.
A 10-dev team on Pro pays $200/mo and replaces ~$360/mo of Jira + GitHub Actions tooling. The price isn’t the story — the velocity gains from AI-native workflow are. Payback in under 24 hours.

Comparison reflects publicly listed features as of Q2 2026. Competitor prices shown are entry paid tier per seat per month. BoltOps Starter is permanently free for up to 3 seats.
BoltOps is built to meet SOC 2 Type II requirements out of the box. Your data, your agents, your audit trail — enterprise-grade security without enterprise-grade friction.
Every login, logout, signup, password change, and role modification is logged with IP, user agent, and timestamp for full SOC 2 CC7.2 compliance.
Automatic lockout after 5 failed attempts with a 15-minute cooldown window. Brute-force attacks are stopped before they start.
Row-Level Security enforces tenant boundaries at the database layer. Users can never access data outside their organization.
Configurable per-org password policies with uppercase, lowercase, number, and special character requirements validated both client and server-side.
HSTS preload, X-Frame-Options DENY, CSP, XSS protection, and strict referrer policies ship on every response.
Six granular roles (Owner, Admin, PM, Engineer, QA, Viewer) with privilege escalation prevention enforced at the database level.
Familiar per-seat pricing — same model as Jira and Linear, built for teams that ship with AI agents. Every plan includes the 6-stage Bolt pipeline.
Ship your first Bolt. Real workflow, real CLAUDE.md management — zero commitment.
