3) Viktor: The AI That Handles Everything Around the Design Work
Designing is the fun part.
The rest: client updates, revision tracking, performance reports, asset organization across Notion and Google Drive, is where time disappears.
Ask it to pull together a client-ready PDF of your project status, organize feedback from a thread into structured revision notes, or set up a weekly report that just shows up every Monday.
Your ads ran overnight. Nobody was watching. Except Viktor.
One brand built 30+ landing pages through Viktor without a single developer.
Each page mapped to a specific ad group. All deployed within hours. Viktor wrote the code and shipped every one from a Slack message.
That same team has Viktor monitoring ad accounts across the portfolio and posting performance briefs before the day starts. One colleague. Always on. Across every account.
