This newsletter was brought to you byGetViktorAmazon, reddit, and YouTube 10 years ago 👀
Over the weekend a fun new website came out that lets you see what was happening on the internet exactly 10 years ago.
So much has changed since August 1st, 2007. Thousands were lining up to buy the first iPhone, George W. Bush was in the White House, YouTube's front page was promoting Superbad, Amazon was selling books, and IMDb was hiring their first designer.
Meanwhile, sites like Hacker News and reddit[1] haven't changed much.

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.
