The author points out that in current AI-assisted workflows, writing code is no longer the bottleneck; the real time sink is the communication, status updates, and administrative chores surrounding the projects.
To solve this, Viktor launched an product positioned as an "AI employee." Integrated directly into Slack and Teams, it takes over and automates daily corporate operations such as:
- Data Tracking: Automatically reporting changes in core business metrics (e.g., revenue, CAC).
- HR & Admin: Handling new hire onboarding, scheduling, and equipment procurement.
- Financial Reconciliation: Processing attendance and billing prep for payroll, flagging discrepancies automatically.
- Technical Troubleshooting: Responding to internal bug reports, locating issues in the codebase, submitting fix PRs, and updating status pages.
