DeepL
· #169 most-usedNeural translation that reads the room, not just the words
DeepL is the AI translation engine trusted by Fortune 500 legal and localisation teams for its industry-leading accuracy across 30+ languages. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can translate customer emails the moment they arrive, localise documents end-to-end without touching a file manager, enforce brand terminology via custom glossaries, and route multilingual content to the right teams — all triggered by events in your existing stack.
Eliminates manual work. Agents eliminate the copy-paste loop between inbox, translation tool, and destination system that consumes 30–45 minutes per multilingual content round-trip.
What your DeepL agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
DeepL × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
Multilingual support inbox, zero manual copy-paste
When a foreign-language support email arrives in Gmail, your agent detects the language, translates it to English with DeepL, routes the ticket to the right team in Slack, and books a callback slot on the agent's Google Calendar — all before the support rep opens their laptop. Every reply goes out in the customer's language, with the translated thread attached for context. Response times drop from hours to minutes for non-English speakers, and the team never has to touch a translation tool manually again.
Time saved for your team — every week, on autopilot
