Strategies

• Uber and Nuro begin testing premium robotaxi service in San Francisco
  If you spot a Lucid Gravity SUV blinged-out with sensors and a self-driving system developed by Nuro driving around San Francisco, chances are that’s an Uber employee taking a ride.

What's New in Artificial Intelligence (AI) 

• Advocacy groups warn against adding facial recognition to Meta AI glasses

  AI agents don’t see your website like humans do, and the accessibility tree is quickly becoming the interface that determines whether they can use it.

700+ teams have Viktor reading their Google Ads every morning.

Your media team opens Slack at 8am. There's a cross-platform brief in #growth: Google Ads spend vs. ROAS, Meta CPA by campaign, Stripe revenue by channel. Viktor posted it at 6am. Nobody asked for it.

Last week, one team's Viktor caught a spend spike at 2am on a broad match campaign and flagged it in Slack: "CPA up 340%. Recommend pausing and shifting budget to the top two performers." That would have burned $3K by morning. The media buyer woke up to a problem already handled.

Your strategist reviews spend trends. Your account manager checks revenue attribution. Same Slack channel, same colleague, before anyone's first coffee.

Google Ads, Meta, Stripe. One message. No Looker, no Data Studio. Anomaly detection runs around the clock. Cross-platform reporting runs on autopilot.

5,700+ teams. SOC 2 certified. Your data never trains models.

"Viktor is now an integral team member, and after weeks of use we still feel we haven't uncovered the full potential." — Patrick O'Doherty, Director, Yarra Web
