## What can your AI employee do in Canvas?

Viktor connects to your Canvas account and completes work in it. He doesn't just answer questions about Canvas, 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 Canvas actions, chains them with the other 9,800+ tools he connects to, and asks for approval before anything sensitive runs.

### About Canvas

Learning management system

### How a run works

1. **You ask in your workspace** - Describe what you need in plain English
2. **Viktor picks the actions** - Selects from 5 Canvas actions, chains them together
3. **Runs in Canvas** - Helps you build and track online courses and training completion - your real data.
4. **Reports back** - Delivers the finished result to your workspace

## Use Canvas from Slack and Microsoft Teams

Message Viktor in a Slack channel, a Microsoft Teams chat or a direct message. He opens Canvas, does the work and posts the result in the same thread, so nobody has to switch tabs.

He can also run Canvas work on a schedule, like a weekly Canvas summary posted to your team's channel. Anything sensitive waits for your approval before it runs.

## Security and permissions
