In The Blink Of AI with Georgie Healy 
About Guy Fenton
Guy Fenton heads go-to-market for Akai, the AI workflow automation platform from Deel. Akai began as an internal tool for Deel's own operations teams before Deel offered it to other companies in May 2026. It lets staff without developer skills automate repetitive back-office work in finance, HR and operations by showing the software a process, for example in a screen recording, or describing it in plain language, with each run logged and human review kept for sensitive tasks such as payroll and payments.
On In The Blink Of AI with Georgie Healy, Fenton explained why user experience matters more than interface design for agent-based software, how Akai builds agents from screen recordings and what makes agent projects succeed.
