For decades, we've been on a quest to simplify work. From the early days of personal computers and the internet, which gave us instant access to knowledge, to the rise of smartphones that freed us from our desks, technology has consistently reshaped our professional lives.
Today, we stand at the precipice of another monumental shift: the era of AI, and with it, the introduction of DeepL Agent.The Revolutionary MomentWorking in research often feels like peering into the future, and for the past 18 months, we've been eagerly anticipating this moment. We believe we're living through a pivotal time, much like 30 years ago when the web and personal computers revolutionized access to information. Then came smartphones, putting that power in our pockets. Now, AI is poised to redefine work and life once more.
Announcing DeepL Agent
Back in 2017, DeepL set a new standard for overcoming language barriers, merging translation expertise with cutting-edge AI. Today, we're applying that same spirit of innovation to enhance how you work.Just two months ago, we launched DeepL Agent into an Early Access Program, and the feedback has been invaluable. Over 1,000 individual users have completed more than 20,000 tasks with DeepL Agent across legal, HR, marketing, customer support, and finance.
These early adopters have helped us refine and expand DeepL Agent's capabilities, ensuring it reliably, efficiently, and securely supports even your most complex workflows.What is DeepL Agent?
When you first encounter DeepL Agent, you'll be greeted by a familiar chat interface. But what's happening behind the scenes is far more powerful: a system that can understand, reason, and act. DeepL Agent isn't just answering questions or generating text; it's actively doing the work for you. Think of it as your new AI coworker—one that can think through complex problems, plan multi-step workflows, and, crucially, take action on your behalf.
Real-World Use Cases
What does this look like in practice? Imagine:
A sales agent that researches prospects in your CRM, drafts personalized outreach, and schedules follow-ups—all autonomously.
A customer service agent that resolves issues, processes exchanges, and checks inventory without you lifting a finger.
A marketing agent that identifies trends, analyzes competitors, and generates content for your campaigns.
These aren't hypothetical scenarios; they are happening today with DeepL Agent.
As we've built DeepL Agent, a striking irony in workplace automation has become clear. For decades, we've strived to simplify work, with each technological era promising greater productivity. The 90s brought ERP systems, the 2000s gave us CRMs and CMSs, and the 2010s saw an explosion of SaaS apps for every function. Each new piece of software carried the same hope: to save us time and make us more productive.
But what actually happened? We became buried in tools.
The average enterprise now runs on almost 1,000 SaaS applications, and each of us jumps between different apps and websites over 1,200 times a day. We've replaced repetitive tasks with repetitive context switching. The problem is that these tools were never designed to communicate with each other, forcing us, the users, to become the "glue"—copy-pasting data, searching for files across platforms.
This isn't just frustrating; it's costing millions.
The Agentic Era
With Agentic AI, for the first time, we have the opportunity to break this cycle. DeepL Agent isn't just another tool to add to your tech stack; it's a system built to bring all your other tools together. No more hand-offs, no more copy-pastes, no more context switching. DeepL Agent will get the work done across all those systems, allowing you to step in only when you choose.This means you can spend more time on what truly matters: leading, creating, and building relationships with your customers.
Welcome to a new era of work, powered by DeepL Agent.
