German startup DeepL has announced that it will expand its business from translation to the field of enterprise general AI agents. The newly launched DeepL agent can perform repetitive and time-consuming tasks across departments such as human resources and marketing, and supports natural language instruction operations. This product is based on DeepL's self-developed large language model and integrates external models.
DeepL CEO Jarosław "Jarek" Kudłotowski said that the agent is a natural extension of the translation business, replacing the cumbersome operations of employees switching between different systems and manually transferring data, thus completing daily work more efficiently.
This move means that DeepL, valued at 2 billion dollars, is entering the enterprise-level AI market dominated by Microsoft Co-Pilot, Anthropic Claude, and OpenAI. Although this field is still in its early stages, capital enthusiasm continues. Recently, Anthropic, backed by Amazon, completed a new round of financing with a valuation of 183 billion dollars.
Regarding whether there are plans for an IPO, Kudłotowski responded that DeepL has no short-term intention to go public.
