Deel launched Akai, an agent platform for enterprise operations, claiming $140M ARR in 90 days. The pitch: record a workflow once and a team of agents runs it end to end.
- Recording captures network traffic, UI clicks and audio to map the workflow, systems and decision points
- Auto-builds connectors via official/unofficial APIs or browser; no integration project needed
- Built-in risk framework adds guardrails, human-in-the-loop controls and permissions by risk level
- Stated traction: 1M+ hours saved, 250K+ cases handled monthly, 10K+ live agents across finance, payments and regulatory ops
Guarantee: 1,000 hours saved in 30 days for companies with 100+ employees or a full refund. Author's take: agents writing SOPs from recordings makes 'document your SOPs before AI' obsolete.
