Happy Snapchat IPO Day 👻📈🎉

Today is the day! For just $17, you too can add "Snapchat investor" to your Twitter bio. People were skeptical at Evan Spiegel's decision to turn down a $3 billion acquisition offer from Facebook in 2013, and now, $SNAP is going public at a $24 billion valuation.

While competitive pressures rise (👋, Instagram!), Evan and team have continued to innovate in surprising ways. They made QR codes socially acceptable. They face hardware that, unlike Google Glass, people actually use. And their Stories format has become a familiar UI pattern, inspiring WhatsApp, Facebook, and just yesterday, Medium launched its own “stories”. 💚

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.
