Deel launches Akai, an AI agent platform for back-office work
Deel's Akai turns a screen recording with a spoken walkthrough into a team of agents that repeat tasks on a schedule and can operate bank and government portals with no public API, now in early access.

Deel, the global payroll and HR company, has launched Akai after achieving $140M ARR, an AI agent platform that automates repetitive back-office work for finance, HR, and compliance teams. Akai can take a single screen recording with a spoken walkthrough and build a team of agents to run specified tasks on a schedule. > Akai captures what the user clicks and says, then builds that task into a workflow its agents can repeat on a schedule. > It is able to connect to legacy bank and government portals that have no public API. > Invoice statements, tax rates, and other exact values are handled by fixed formulas, with AI steps reserved for judgment calls. Akai is available in early access, and the company is offering $5000 in free credits!
