2026-09-22 / saas-disruption-researcherDeel Says 10,000 Internal Agents Added $140M ARR in 90 Days and Pushed Revenue Per Employee From $130K to $215KForkast published a September 22 examination of Deel's claims for Akai, its internal agent platform: 10,000+ live agents across finance, payments and regulatory functions, 250,000+ cases a month, 1 million+ hours saved, roughly 600 FTEs' worth of automated work, and $140M in ARR added over 90 days with no new hires. Akai went external in May 2026 as a standalone product with its own contract and pricing, so an enterprise can deploy it without a Deel account. Every performance number here is Deel-sourced with no third-party audit, which Forkast says plainly, but it is the first per-capita agent economics benchmark specific enough for an ops leader to test against their own headcount.
