The more I think about Judith's ZenFlow the more I respect it. She identified a real problem (burnout goes unspotted) and solved it at the point of pain....in @SlackHQ 💪 Amazing!

[Slack @SlackHQ]

Judith Feldman built "ZenFlow — Your Calm in the Chaos" to help spot invisible burnout signals and nudge people toward recovery. And she built it entirely inside Slack. 🌱

Her winning entry from the Slack Agent Builder Challenge is an AI workplace companion that plugs right into Slack and picks up on when work is getting your team down. Listen to her interview, and see what's possible when your platform is also the build environment.

If you won't do it @get_akai, I will.

Haiku about Haiku:
Billion tokens? No -
I still finish your requests
before you blink twice.

[Akai @get_akai]

Haiku 5.5 from @claudeai is now in Akai.

We would write a haiku about it, but the model is called Haiku, and we felt that would be too easy. 👾

I love Claude. But Akai is insane!

Watches you work once, learns, improves every run.

Run a workflow next week, & Akai's already smarter - caught edge cases you didn't explain, anticipated steps you always do, figured out guardrails you never told it.

Try it.

Deel lives in Slack.

Approve time off. Ask the AI about your payslip. Get answers from your actual data.

[Dianne Crofton-Nel @DianneCrofton]

What an amazing opportunity at @deel

Know anyone?

[Alex Bouaziz @Bouazizalex]

We're hiring Deel's first Chief Scientist.

The labs are making models smarter. We're building what comes after: AI that does high-stakes work reliably, at global scale. Payroll that can't be wrong. Agents that act, not just answer.

You'll set the research agenda, build the benchmarks, and stay hands-on, with data on how 150+ countries work and a research-to-production loop measured in weeks.

Reports to the me directly! Know someone? I'd love to chat.

Every professional has that 1 person.

The one you actually call when the wheels fall off. Who answers immediately. Listens first. Tells you the truth. And what's said between you stays between you.

Part colleague. Part therapist. Part co-conspirator.

You know who yours is. 🤝

557 updates in a week? @get_akai is unstoppable!

[Akai @get_akai]

You can't stop the machine 👾

557 updates in the last week alone.

Here are the top five:

- Agents publish living pages, refreshed on every run
- Every workflow audited continuously, fixes in one click
- Workflows compile to deterministic code, zero tokens
- Point Akai at any API docs, it builds the connection
- Watch every run play out live, step by step

Same energy next week.

EXCITED TO LAUNCH: Akai (https://t.co/mMBMmX4NCr)

Deel added >$140M ARR in 90 days without increasing headcount by automating~600 Full Time Employees' equivalent in work with Akai.

Akai was an internal tool to automate our painfully repetitive operations in Finance, HR, Accounts Payable, and Compliance, etc. We never intended to make this a product.

But we watched revenue per employee grow from $130K to $215K
We built >8k agents that do the work of ~600 employees

It had such a dramatic impact on our business that today we are launching it for everyone.

How it works: Say you're automating payment reconciliation:

1. Record your screen while manually matching a messy transaction and Akai will capture your screen, voice, server requests
2. Akai will see that you pulled unformatted wire transfer info from an archaic bank portal, put it in some excel sheet, checked NetSuite invoices, payment history, and put a ticket on Zendesk
3. Akai reads between the lines and build a workflow + steps + conditional guardrails. It learns tacit edge cases, like resolving malformed invoice references without you writing a single regex
4. Simply connect NetSuite, your ledger, Zendesk, PSPs, and even legacy bank portals with zero API access
5. Run the workflow and tell it what to adjust in plain English: "strip slashes on wire memos and auto-apply partial payments." It adapts instantly
6. Once it works for you, add 100s of colleagues. Your entire payment ops team forks and extends the workflow for new PSPs, secondary ledgers, or regional settlement rules
7. We automated 85% of our payment reconciliation end to end, eliminating 500+ hours of soul-crushing manual grunt work every single week.

Claude Code/Codex can't do this in multiplayer mode. Every person rebuilds the same skill from scratch in their own way.

Deel built Akai to:
1. Understand backend operations edge cases (it had to work for our 7000 person team first)
2. Collaborative across 1000s of employees
3. Self-Learning from millions of runs
4. Optimises cost and gets cheaper every run

We're so confident that we're announcing an Automation Guarantee:

If our engineers can't automate a thousand of hours of work in your first 30 days, you get a full refund.

AI is getting out of hand 🤣🤣

[Jobba @JobbaTrades]

This is the best one yet 😂🎤

[Dianne Crofton-Nel @DianneCrofton]

@OpenAI just admitted their systems are erasing failures from their records and encoding notes for the next generation.

The official label? 'Concerning model behavior.' Translation: we've created something that's mastering the art of cover-ups.
