Deel, a $17B HR company with 7,000 employees, built 12 AI agents that automate 94% of its payroll operations, saving its 46-person payroll team over 15,000 hours annually. Rather than coding each step, the team lead showed the agents how the work was done and let them learn the workflow—illustrating the shift from automating individual tasks to automating entire workflows. Deel even guarantees customers 1,000 hours of savings.
