Let's dive in.

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.
Sam's taking no prisoners

Elon Musk just tried to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion, and OpenAI hit him with a “no thanks.”
Musk, who helped start OpenAI before leaving in 2018, says the company has lost its way—too closed off, too profit-driven, not the open-source AI utopia he envisioned. So, he and a group of investors made an offer to take control and, presumably, set things right. This comes after Musk sued OpenAI last year, arguing that its for-profit shift betrayed its original mission.
OpenAI’s response? A hard pass. CEO Sam Altman even joked that OpenAI would buy Musk’s X (formerly Twitter) for $9.74 billion instead. Beyond the billionaire drama, the real question is: should AI be controlled by one guy with a lot of money, or... a different guy with a lot of money?.
