The main differences

The work starts and ends in a different place

Viktor works in the team channel. Coworker puts the main work in its own app.

AI in the team channel or AI in another app

Coworker runs in its own app. Slack and Microsoft Teams are connectors that give Coworker access to company context.

Viktor lives in Slack and Microsoft Teams. The request, work, and result stay in the channel where the team can see them.

A focused context layer or broad execution

Viktor uses 3,200+ integrations, a real browser, and code execution. It can also publish finished pages and apps.

Honest tradeoffs

Where Coworker wins today

Coworker has clear strengths for teams that want its own app.

Model routing economics: Coworker routes each task to a capable open or closed model. It says closed models have no markup.
US-hosted open-weight models: Every model runs on US infrastructure. This includes open-weight models for teams whose CIO requires that setup.
The OM2 knowledge graph: OM2 is a real cross-source context layer. It learns across connected sources and gives Coworker shared company context.
Built-in meeting notes: The meeting notetaker records live transcripts, summaries, and action items from Zoom, Meet, and Teams.

You want one shared agent for the whole team
