Deel ($17.3B valuation) shared results from Akai, an internal AI agent system: $140M+ in ARR added in 90 days with no headcount increase, with 8,000+ agents doing the work of 600 employees.
How it works:
- Record your screen doing a task; it learns the workflow and edge cases, then runs it for you
- Works across existing tools, including legacy systems without APIs
- Workflows editable in plain English; teams can share and improve them
- Agents keep learning as more cases are handled
Results: 85% of payment reconciliation automated, 500+ hours/week of manual work eliminated, revenue per employee up from $130K.
