Payroll and human resources platform Deel on Aug. 18 announced its AI Workforce, an integrated hub to launch, manage, and create artificial intelligence agents and workflows, hosted on the Deel platform.
Deel says AI Workforce will allow businesses to easily add AI agents to a company’s workflow, surfacing information from its HR and payroll platform, where critical data and core processes already live.
“Stretched payroll and HR teams are facing increasing demands and Society for Human Resource Management’s latest Workforce Report shows that more than half of HR professionals say their teams are understaffed,” the San Francisco-based company said in a media release. “Deel AI Workforce meets these challenges head on, relieving HR leaders of admin-heavy tasks like approvals, suggesting actions in areas like recruitment and surfacing information to leaders to make smarter, real-time decisions.”
Deel AI Workforce will include seven specialized AI agents designed for specific HR and payroll needs, including:
- The Hiring Guru: A talent acquisition agent that instantly analyzes role requirements and budget to recommend the most strategic countries to source candidates, removing search burdens and improving hiring outcomes.
- The PTO Fairy: A time-off agent that automatically analyzes requests, flags coverage gaps, and updates Deel so approvals happen faster without risking downtime.
- The Border Buddy: A compliance agent that geolocates IP addresses and compares them to local tax rules to keep “work from anywhere” arrangements compliant.
- The Schedule Sheriff: A workforce planning agent that identifies scheduling gaps across time zones and shifts to ensure continuous coverage.
- The IT Guy: An IT equipment agent that recommends devices based on team roles and headcount to standardize procurement and boost efficiency.
- The Goodbye Genie: An offboarding agent that recommends the exact compliant offboarding steps based on location, worker type, and tenure to ensure a smooth and compliant process.
- The Payroll Detective: A payroll agent that flags payroll anomalies before payout, checking every variable against set rules and thresholds to prevent errors.
“AI agents mark a turning point for global work,” Alex Bouaziz, co-founder and CEO of Deel, said in a statement. “For HR and payroll leaders that means going above simply automating tasks. It’s about baking AI into already-used and loved technology to remove the barriers that slow teams down. This will allow human creativity, ideas, talent, and opportunities to move as freely as the businesses they power.”
Launching last week in beta, Deel customers can leverage the AI Workforce to instantly deploy pre-built functional agents across HR, payroll, talent acquisition, finance, and operations. Each AI agent is built on the knowledge of 2,000-plus in-country experts, able to instantly operate compliantly in more than 150 countries, and measurable, with the ability to track hours saved, tasks completed, and errors reduced, inside the platform. Customers will also be able to build custom agents.
Soon, customers will be able to integrate other agents from tools like Slack and Zapier into Deel.
