EXCITED TO LAUNCH: Akai ( 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. Book a demo: if you're an exec at a company with hundreds of employees

Introducing: AnyTime Pay 💸 "Payroll is on the 30th - but give me what I've earned till today." This changes everything for 500M+ employees living paycheck-to-paycheck. Deel is at $1B+ ARR serving only 1.5M employees. AnyTime Pay is how we completely change the payroll industry and 10x our scale. Imagine this: you're a retail employee at a Deel-powered company. You take your earned pay on the 10th for rent, again on the 20th for groceries, and again on the 30th. Once you experience that freedom, waiting 30 days to get paid anywhere else will feel ancient. 73% of employees say a one-week delay in their paycheck would cause major stress. That's because life is built around payday. So why hasn't anyone done this before? Because employers need to remit the correct taxes for each employee and mid-month payments would require instant tax calculations - which has been impossible. Here's how it works today: Companies send employee data to local payroll providers who manually calculate taxes based on hundreds of constantly changing laws (brackets, job type, country, gender, etc.). The provider calculates everything and sends it back. This entire process takes 10+ days. The bottleneck is that employers have to wait 10 days to know how much tax to remit for each employee, making mid-month payments impossible. It's such a huge problem that there's a $1T loan industry to help people cope with 30-day pay cycles. 40% interest credit cards, BNPL, payday loans - they exist because people can't access their own earned money. Deel is changing that. We're building global payroll infrastructure across 160 countries - our own rails that calculate taxes in real time. Gross-to-net happens instantly, taxes are computed in seconds, and employees can access their earned pay - anytime. This might sound boring. But to 500M+ employees living paycheck-to-paycheck, this is life-changing.

For years, we hit the same wall everyone else did. You automate a few steps. Then complexity wins. And your best people are back to doing work that should run itself. That's what we set out to fix - not for our customers first, but for ourselves. I'm proud to introduce Akai by Deel. Akai is an interconnected system of agents that learns your workflows, automates every step, and gets smarter with every run - auditably, on any system. Today, 100% of Deel's operations teams, across Finance, Tax, Treasury, Benefits, and HR, run on Akai. The results stopped us in our tracks: → 100,000+ cases handled automatically every month → 8,000+ hours of payment processing - now background tasks → Reconciliation that took 20+ days - now done in minutes → 100% automation in areas we couldn't reach after years of coding → 91,000+ manual hours saved every single month Now, every team is now building agents themselves. No developers. No IT tickets. Just the people who know the work, running it. That's the ceiling we broke. Now we're opening it up. With built-in voice, transactions across any payment method, and the ability to process and analyse any document or dataset - out of the box. Your first agents could be running by tomorrow!

Next season, deel will become the official sleeve partner of Arsenal 🔴⚪ When we partnered with Arsenal last year, we set out to build something lasting, starting with rolling out Deel across their workforce and HR operations. Having our name on one of the most iconic shirts in world football is the next step in that relationship. We made ‘Patchmaker’ with the club, a film featuring Viktor Gyökeres and Patrick Vieira. Worth watching 📷 Yes, I'm a PSG fan. But like every French kid, I grew up dreaming in front of Arsène, Titi and the Invincibles! #COYG
