DEEL ADDED $140M+ IN ARR IN 90 DAYS WITHOUT INCREASING HEADCOUNT, WITH HELP FROM AKAI Deel says it achieved this by using Akai, an internal AI system with 8,000+ agents that automate work equivalent to roughly 600 full-time employees. Akai watches how employees handle repetitive work across finance, HR, accounts payable and compliance, learns the steps and edge cases, then turns those workflows into automations. Deel says revenue per employee rose from $130K to $215K, while payment reconciliation is now 85% automated, saving 500+ hours of manual work every week. Deel is now launching Akai
