## What can your AI employee do in Ashby?

Viktor connects to your Ashby account and completes work in it. He doesn't just answer questions about Ashby, he takes the actions on your behalf and delivers the finished result to your workspace.

Unlike workflow builders such as Zapier or Make, there is nothing to configure - no triggers to map, no workflows to maintain. You describe the outcome in plain English, and Viktor picks the right Ashby actions, chains them with the other 9,800+ tools he connects to, and asks for approval before anything sensitive runs.
