VIKTOR

Here's what Viktor did for 11 different companies last week

A dental education company runs its backend on Viktor. Crons, reports, customer automations. CEO says it "runs my business behind the scenes."

A business coaching firm uses Viktor as a VA replacement. The founder sends midnight instructions. Viktor executes them before morning.

A 4x4 parts company uses it to chew through the work backlog. A landscaping startup built 63 workflows in two weeks.

A DTC brand uses Viktor for checkout debugging, AP reconciliation, cash flow monitoring, Klaviyo audits, and brand protection. Eleven use cases from one coworker.

An academic tutoring company has Viktor running database enrichment and email campaigns. A marketing agency uses it as an internal team analyzer. A web studio ships client dashboards with it.

One coworker. Every department. Viktor lives in your Slack, connects to 3,000+ tools (Stripe, HubSpot, Google Ads, Klaviyo, Shopify, Linear, Notion, GitHub), and does real work. Not summaries. Not a chatbot.

9,000+ teams. SOC 2 certified. Your data never trains models.

THROUGH THE VALLEY

1/ Google unveils Gemini Omni AI for video generation and editing

Google has introduced Gemini Omni, a new multimodal world model designed for interactive AI video generation and editing across text, audio, image, and video inputs. Unveiled at Google I/O 2026, the first release in the family, Gemini Omni Flash, focuses on improving physics, contextual understanding, and conversational video editing capabilities. Unlike traditional video models, Gemini Omni is designed to reason about what should happen next inside a scene while drawing from Gemini’s broader understanding of history, science, and cultural context. DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis described the system as a major step toward AGI, with future versions expected to handle “any input and any output” across modalities. Simultaneously, Google is also testing AI avatar generation features, signaling a broader push into interactive AI media systems.

2/ Google launches Gemini 3.5 Flash to all users

Google has released Gemini 3.5 Flash globally across its consumer and enterprise platforms, positioning it as the new default model powering products including the Gemini app, AI Mode in Search, Google Antigravity, and the new Gemini Spark AI agent. Google says the model outperforms Gemini 3.1 Pro in coding and multimodal reasoning while generating responses up to four times faster than competing systems. Gemini 3.5 Flash is designed for complex multi-step workflows and long-horizon tasks, with early partners including Shopify, Salesforce, Databricks, and Macquarie Bank already piloting the system for automation and large-scale data analysis. Notably, the model was developed under Google’s Frontier Safety Framework, signaling a broader push to combine faster AI deployment with stronger reliability and safety measures.

3/ Google unveils 24/7 Gemini Spark AI Agent for advanced tasks

Google has introduced Gemini Spark, a new cloud-based AI agent designed to automate complex workflows across apps and services. Built on Gemini 3.5 and Google’s Antigravity system, Spark integrates with Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Drive, and other Workspace tools to summarize emails, coordinate tasks, synthesize meeting notes, and manage long-running workflows. Unlike traditional assistants, Spark runs continuously on dedicated Google Cloud virtual machines, allowing tasks to continue even while a user’s device is offline. Simultaneously, Google is expanding Spark through integrations with third-party apps like Canva, OpenTable, and Instacart, signaling a broader industry shift from AI chatbots toward persistent autonomous agents.

4/ OpenAI claims its new reasoning model solved an 80-year-old math problem

OpenAI says an internal general-purpose reasoning model has disproved a long-held belief tied to Erdős’ famous 1946 unit distance problem, marking what the company calls the first autonomous AI discovery of a major open math result. For decades, mathematicians believed the best solutions followed grid-like constructions, but OpenAI’s model reportedly discovered an entirely new family of structures using ideas from algebraic number theory. The proof was reviewed by mathematicians including Tim Gowers, Noga Alon, and Thomas Bloom, with OpenAI emphasizing that the result came from a general reasoning model rather than a specialized math system like AlphaProof. Notably, the announcement comes months after OpenAI walked back earlier claims that GPT-5 had solved multiple Erdős problems later found in existing academic literature.
