500+ hours of manual work eliminated every week, on a tool that was never meant to be a product — that's the detail that makes this land. Great milestone.

Deel added $140M in ARR in the last 90 days — without hiring a single new person.

Akai: Built internally to automate the repetitive backend work in Finance, HR, Accounts Payable, and Compliance, it now does the work of roughly 600 employees through more than 8,000 agents.

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.

Everyone's fixated on AI replacing jobs. The quieter story is the jobs it's inventing.

Prompt engineers, AI evaluators, model testers, AI safety specialists — roles that barely existed a few years ago are now in demand across industries.

This is the pattern every time. The internet created digital marketers. Cloud created cloud engineers. Smartphones created app developers. New infrastructure doesn't just destroy work, it spawns a whole ecosystem around itself.

That's not a promise every job is safe — it isn't, and the transition is real and hard for a lot of people. But "what is AI replacing" is only half the question. The other half is "what is it making possible."

And the people who come out ahead won't be the ones who know the most about AI. They'll be the ones who adapt to it fastest.

The @Fly_Airlink planes flew over DHL Stadium this past Saturday, and just like that, @claudeai could build a game relating to this special event. This is insanely good!

[Ross Symons @rosssymons_ai]

Do you think we should release this game?

Well done to the pilots who flew the @Fly_Airlink planes! And the @Springboks!

[Clorinda Loots @CLOOTS007]

Hundreds of people showed up to @SnoopDogg 's LA compound to try out for one job: International Ice Cream Taster at @realdrbombay

Dj Snoopadelic played. Lady of Rage was there. Founders and creators from across the industry turned up for a night built around one hire.

The role itself: $10k a month, open to applicants anywhere in the world — France, Japan, Brazil, wherever. Powered by @deel , so location was never the limiting factor.

Applications closed 8/31. What's left is a simple fact: a job title this unusual pulled in more attention, more talent, and more genuine excitement than most "serious" postings ever do.

Great talent is global. This is what it looks like when a company actually builds for that.

Curious to see who gets the job.
