This newsletter was brought to you byGetViktorFlipboard’s new app, now with 100M monthly users 👀
Flipboard first launched in 2010 as one of the first “gorgeous” mobile experiences on the iPhone. It came out with a boom and everyone in tech downloaded it. 6+ years later, these same people ask, “Who still uses Flipboard?”
Answer: 100 million people every month.
Flipboard is one of the largest social networks yet it’s rarely part of the conversation in tech… except for today. CEO, Mike McCue, just introduced the fourth generation of the curation platform, now with Smart Magazines and Video. Check it out. 👀

We asked 34 customers what Viktor does for them. Not one said chatbot.
They kept using words like colleague, coworker, team member. One CEO called it the glue holding their e-commerce business together, which is a lot, but also… you see why. It lives in Slack and plugs into 3,000+ tools, so instead of jumping between tabs, you just ask for the thing. Pull Stripe against HubSpot, check Sentry alerts, spin up a campaign brief, build a landing page, send a report upstairs. It all happens there.
It has already hit top 5 on Product Hunt with 130 comments, is SOC 2 certified, and your data does not train models.One user said it was the first time AI felt like a real coworker, which is either exciting or slightly concerning depending on your week.
