The AI agent Viktor, previously accessible only through platforms like Slack, has now expanded its reach by adopting a public email address, allowing anyone with an email account to interact with it. This change leverages the effective interface of email, which benefits from pre-existing written context and sender authentication, making it easier for users to access AI assistance. Starting today, individuals can simply email viktor@viktor.com to initiate their own AI employee, enabling broader engagement and accessibility beyond platform-specific integrations.
