DeepL Agent is an autonomous AI agent designed to streamline and automate a wide variety of knowledge worker tasks. This new solution is currently in beta, and is being launched on DeepL AI Labs, the company’s hub for innovation and upcoming projects.

DeepL Agent introduces a new autonomous AI agent for businesses, designed to empower knowledge workers by completing repetitive, time-intensive tasks across a wide variety of functions, thus scaling users’ capacity and productivity.

The agent has been built to operate entirely within each users’ digital environment, responding to natural language commands to carry out complex workflows safely and independently. It does this by using virtual versions of standard tools, like a keyboard, browser, and mouse, so it can act on the user’s behalf through existing interfaces. It can handle nearly any task a human can do with computer systems, moving seamlessly across users’ tools and workflows and continually improving its performance as time goes on.

DeepL Agent is multilingual, and its applications extend far beyond language-related tasks, which is what the company is most known for. The general-purpose agent is designed to support a wide range of business functions and use-cases, making it a transformative companion enterprise-wide for teams ranging from sales and finance, to marketers, localisation specialists, HR professionals, and more.

“DeepL has always been a leader in AI innovation, driven by our commitment to cutting-edge research and scaling AI’s impact across businesses worldwide. For years, we’ve invested in understanding and solving complex language challenges with AI, which demand the highest levels of precision, context-awareness, and security. This strong background in research gives us a natural advantage in the agentic space in building tools that can understand, reason and then act across a wide range of tasks,” said Jarek Kutylowski, Founder and CEO, DeepL.

“Which is why we’re excited to preview our latest product, DeepL Agent – an autonomous, secure AI agent designed to take on the time-consuming, repetitive tasks knowledge workers face every day. Now in beta testing with some of our global customers, this is an exciting natural next step for DeepL in our mission to solve real-world challenges with purpose-built AI and is just the beginning of a tool that we believe will redefine how businesses operate.”

“Imagine having a super efficient workplace assistant that understands your needs and can tackle any task you give it, whether that’s analysing a report or managing internal invoices, just by giving it simple directions like you would any colleague. That’s what DeepL Agent does. It’s made to understand you, so that you can just describe the actions you want it to take and it will handle the rest,” said Stefan Mesken, Chief Scientist, DeepL. “We’ve also built the agent to learn from existing interactions, so that over time its support will become even more personalized and attuned to each users’ needs and daily workflows.”

DeepL is committed to ensuring that DeepL Agent meets the enterprise-grade levels of quality and security it is known for, and has built the agent with multi-level safeguards giving individual users and admin, team leads, and top level management direct control over its use and outputs. These include task monitoring tools for real-time oversight, the ability to pause or review actions at any time, and options for human-in-the-loop validation and approvals to ensure the highest degree of accuracy and decision-making.
