Deel just replaced 500 hours of manual work a week with one recording.
Money lands. Someone has to work out who sent it, what it's for, and which invoice it closes.
You end up bouncing between five different systems just to close one payment, and none of them talk to each other.
I've sat through enough ops reviews to know this isn't one department's problem. It's every team stuck between tools that were never built to connect.
Deel is a 17 billion dollar company, the legal employer for people in 150 countries, running fully remote. Even they were losing 500 hours a week to this.
So their own team built Akai to fix it, before selling it to anyone else.
Here's what it actually does:
→ Watches you do the task once, screen and voice, and builds the automation from that
→ Works out every system it needs to connect to, even ones with no API
→ Picks up edge cases on its own, like which payments to skip and which to flag
→ Gives you a full audit trail: permissions, security, adherence, all visible
You don't need a developer or an IT ticket for this, just the person who already knows the workflow.
Deel's team saved over 90,000 hours in a few months, close to 500 full time employees' worth of work in one month.
Over 100 people at your company? Deel guarantees 1,000 hours saved in 30 days, or a full refund.
