History Repeats Itself, From Translations to Proprietary AI Models

DeepL initially positioned itself as an AI-powered platform for translations, and it was probably expected to see an AI-focused service from them. Their DeepL AI Labs division, although clarifying that the service is in beta, already positions it as a full-fledged Computer Using Agent (CUA).

This is a fairly well-known concept in which an AI agent uses the user's computer the same way the user does, applying a digital keyboard and mouse, and moving between systems and websites. All of this is intended to directly perform repetitive and time-consuming routine operations, plan work, analyze data and diagrams, reason and make decisions, and execute tasks from start to finish.

But what about security? Here, DeepL AI Labs insists on the presence of multi-level safeguards:

• Task monitoring tools for real-time oversight

• Human-in-the-loop validation options

• Approvals with admin-level control

But you know what is impossible not to assume? How successful will attempts be to use DeepL CUA beyond the tasks they have stated? For example, in the same individualized real-time chart reading and crypto trading? AI itself has long shown good results here, but there are not many suitable interfaces for this, and will it become one of them? Let's watch how successful these attempts will be, which will undoubtedly occur.

DeepL CEO and Founder, Jarek Kutylowski, said:

"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."

DeepL Chief Scientist, Stefan Mesken, added:

"Imagine having a super-efficient workplace assistant that understands your needs and can tackle any task you give it, whether that's analyzing 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. 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 user's needs and daily workflows."

Another Major AI Player?

Overall, this is a rather interesting move, especially given DeepL's many years of research in language AI, where context, precision, and security are critical, and highly applicable to an agentic approach with a CUA architecture. We will closely watch the development, implementation, and effectiveness of another player in the AI race. Stay tuned for the latest updates in crypto, blockchain, and other revolutionary technologies.
