Deel, a global leader in payroll and HR solutions, has announced the launch of Deel AI Workforce, an integrated hub designed to create, manage, and deploy AI agents and workflows directly within the Deel platform. This innovation enables companies to seamlessly add AI-powered agents to their operations, drawing on data from Deel’s existing HR and payroll systems where critical processes already reside.

-
The Hiring Guru – Recommends the most strategic countries to source talent by analyzing role requirements and budget.

The PTO Fairy – Speeds up time-off approvals by identifying coverage gaps and updating records automatically.

The Border Buddy – Ensures compliance by checking IP addresses against local tax regulations for remote workers.

The Schedule Sheriff – Manages workforce planning by identifying scheduling gaps across time zones and shifts.
-
The IT Guy – Standardizes equipment procurement by recommending devices based on team roles and headcount.

Currently available in Beta, Deel customers can instantly deploy these pre-built AI agents across HR, payroll, talent acquisition, finance, and operations. Each agent is backed by Deel’s network of 2,000+ in-country experts, ensuring compliance across 150+ countries. The platform also provides measurable impact, allowing businesses to track hours saved, tasks completed, and errors reduced. Additionally, customers will have the flexibility to build their own custom AI agents.
In the near future, Deel plans to expand integrations, allowing businesses to connect AI agents with popular tools such as Slack and Zapier. The company envisions a workplace where AI agents become a natural extension of the workforce scalable resources that can be managed, hired, or even retired based on evolving business needs.
“AI agents mark a turning point for global work,” said Alex Bouaziz, Co-founder and CEO of Deel, “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.”
