DeepL, a German translation startup valued at $2 billion, just fired a shot across the bow of artificial intelligence giants OpenAI, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), and Anthropic. The company launched DeepL Agent on Sept. 3, marking a move beyond translation services into the rapidly expanding enterprise AI market.
DeepL CEO Jarek Kutylowski told CNBC the agent represents a natural evolution from translation technology. “We found out that the technology is as capable of helping you whenever you’re doing research or whatever you’re doing,” Kutylowski said. “All of those tedious tasks in your office when you have to switch between different systems and take some data from one system, put it into another one, AI, and those autonomous agents, and the DeepL Agent in particular, can help solve so much better.”
