## What is a Cohere AI agent?

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