## What is a Buildkite AI agent?

A Buildkite AI agent is an AI that connects to your Buildkite account and completes work in it - it doesn't just answer questions about Buildkite, it takes the actions. Viktor is that agent: an AI employee that works in Buildkite on your behalf and delivers the finished result in Slack or Microsoft Teams.

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 Buildkite actions, chains them with the other 3,200+ tools it connects to, and asks for approval before anything sensitive runs.
