@frydwia @Accel @viktor__com Let’s GO!!!!

[Brian Smith @bmsmithvb]

@peter_albert_ @frydwia @Accel @viktor__com This is true

[Brian Smith @bmsmithvb]

If you haven’t tried Viktor yet, you’re truly missing out. Being into technology, I have tried 100s of tools and “assistants.”

I tried Viktor because I had seen ads for it on social media.

I didn’t have high hopes based on previous tools.

I was amazed at the context it picked up and this was only the first day or two. It’s been a week now and I have been blown away with how much it picks up and reminds you along the way. It truly is an AI coworker. No joke.

Well done, team.

Today, we’re announcing Viktor’s $75M Series A, led by @Accel .

@viktor__com was supposed to be a small experiment.

It became the AI coworker 10x'ing real businesses.

$15M in annualized revenue run rate. In 10 weeks.

– Small companies saving millions of dollars
– Sourcing hundreds of thousands in new revenue in their first 30 days
– Whole teams getting half their week back
– Companies running 40% leaner without cutting output

Viktor is not another AI tool.

It’s the first true AI employee.

The vision that has been with us since 2023 when we started the company has finally been shipped.

Back then, it was just the two of us, with a very small but dedicated team, iterating for years. Failing multiple times.

Showing products that users didn't even want to test!

But we never gave up.

Our decisions were often wrong. Certainly more often than not! We kept trying.

Now we’ve shipped something people love.

Worth every sleepless night. Every sacrifice.

The best employees don’t need to be told what to do.

Neither does Viktor.

Grateful to @Accel, our team, our earliest users, and everyone who believed this category could be bigger than chat.

@largespacerat @amorriscode This would be great

[Brian Smith @bmsmithvb]

@0xrlh88 @claudeai Agree with you here. Certainly blurs the lines.

[Brian Smith @bmsmithvb]

@_catwu @Claude This is the way a workflow should be. Always allowing for that human intervention. Way to go!

I highly recommend checking out Rosebud's journal! https://t.co/Eyugrhckc6

In a world where AI is everywhere, I take time each morning to journal. It's helped quite a bit. Try it for yourself.

@godofprompt @openclaw This is excellent

[Brian Smith @bmsmithvb]

@mikemolinet @godofprompt @openclaw I agree.

[Brian Smith @bmsmithvb]

@BoLoudon @grok is this true?

[Brian Smith @bmsmithvb]

I just posted "Can't see backup?" on Reddit
