The author documents letting AI employee Viktor handle ad budgets, the sales inbox, invoices and reports for four days while away. In paid media, it caught a budget drifting 31% before it compounded overnight, and left two new creatives untouched since they were under 3 days old. In the sales inbox, it sorted 23 replies, held the 3 asking for pricing, and drafted 13 follow-ups while sending zero without approval. In finance, it flagged 3 mismatched invoices. Viktor positions itself as "a hire, not a tool" — an AI employee in Slack/Teams with 9,800+ integrations, claimed to be used by 76,000+ teams, operating on a model where humans set direction, Viktor executes, and anything irreversible requires a yes first.
