## What Viktor does in Microsoft Teams

Viktor is an AI employee who works inside Microsoft Teams. Message him in a chat, or @mention him in a channel where he is installed. He uses your other tools to do the job, then posts the finished work back in Teams: a report, an Excel file, an updated record, a drafted follow-up. Anything sensitive waits for an approval card first.

He remembers your team's context in Teams, reads meeting transcripts when your tenant allows it, and you can also chat with him in the Viktor web app, even if your company only uses Teams.

- Chats: message him one to one and he replies to every message.
- Channels where the app is installed: @mention him and he replies in the thread.
- Group chats: he replies when @mentioned.
- Threads he is following: he picks up the conversation.
- Meetings: he can read transcripts and meeting details once your Microsoft tenant's transcript setting is on.

## Day-one work in Teams

What Microsoft-heavy teams hand to Viktor in the first week, set up in plain English. Nothing to build in Copilot Studio.

- **Meeting action items** (@Viktor pull the action items from this morning's client call and create the tasks): He reads the meeting transcript and creates tasks in your project tool. Needs the tenant transcript setting turned on.
- **Weekday morning brief** (Weekdays 8:00 · Leadership channel): Yesterday's signups, revenue and open support tickets, posted to a channel every morning as a scheduled task.
- **Excel in, Excel out** (@Viktor check this against last quarter's numbers): Drop a spreadsheet in a chat and get back a cleaned-up Excel file with formulas, as a card with a Download button.
- **Monday pipeline report** (Every Monday 9:00 · Sales channel): A pipeline report from your CRM, delivered to the team's channel as a PDF or PowerPoint deck.
- **Ad spend check** (@Viktor which campaigns are over budget this week?): He pulls spend and results from your ad accounts, flags what is over budget and proposes changes that only run after you click Approve.
- **Request intake** (New message in the Support channel): He watches a channel for new requests, logs each one to your tracker and tags the owner.

## Microsoft Copilot and Viktor

Copilot is best inside Word, Excel and Outlook. Viktor does the work that spans the rest of your stack, for the whole team.

| Product | Type | Best for | Pricing |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Microsoft 365 Copilot | AI assistant in Microsoft 365 apps, including Teams | Drafting and summarizing inside Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams | Per-user add-on to Microsoft 365 |
| Copilot Studio agents | AI agent builder | Teams that want to build and maintain their own agents | Licensed separately |
| Viktor | AI employee | Work that spans Microsoft 365 and 9,800+ other tools, on request or on a schedule, posted back to Teams | Free to start, then one credit plan for the whole workspace, not per seat |

Product names belong to their owners. Descriptions reflect Microsoft's public positioning, October 2026. Viktor does not need a Copilot license.

## Everything he can do from Teams

- **He remembers your team**: Workspace memory works in Teams: what has been decided, who owns what and how you like things done.
- **Meeting transcripts**: He reads Teams meeting transcripts and details, and can join upcoming meeting chats after admin consent. Your tenant's transcript setting must be on (it is off by default).
- **Office files both ways**: Send him PDF, Word, Excel or PowerPoint files. He sends back finished files as a card with a Download button.
- **Scheduled tasks and triggers**: Recurring reports in plain English, or work that starts on new or edited messages, meeting start and end, or events from your other apps.
- **Chat in the web app too**: Teams users can also talk to Viktor in the Viktor web app, as the same person they are in Teams.
- **You decide how hard he thinks**: Add !fast for a quicker reply or !deep for a deeper one.

## Built for IT approval

- Viktor reads messages only in the channels and chats where he is installed.
- Admin consent and installation are separate: consent in Microsoft Entra grants permissions, and the Teams Admin Center decides who gets the app.
- Pilot with a few people first: set "Assignment required" in Entra and install Viktor for that group only.
- Approval cards appear in the chat before sensitive actions, and admins decide who may connect or edit integrations.
- Requires a work or school Microsoft account. SOC 2 Type 1 certified, Type 2 in progress, and your data is never used to train models.

## How to add Viktor to Microsoft Teams

An admin installs Viktor once. If your company needs IT approval for Teams apps, step 3 covers it.

1. **Sign up with Microsoft Teams**: Go to app.viktor.com/signup, choose "Continue with Microsoft Teams" and sign in with your work or school Microsoft account.
2. **Add the app in Teams**: Click "Add Viktor to Microsoft Teams", confirm in Teams' install dialog, then click "I've added Viktor to Teams".
3. **Get IT approval if you need it**: An admin grants consent in Microsoft Entra, then installs Viktor for everyone or a group in the Teams Admin Center (Teams apps, Manage apps, Viktor, Install).
4. **Give him the first task**: Mention Viktor in a channel or message him in a chat. Connect your other tools as you go.

## Viktor in Microsoft Teams: FAQ

### How do I add Viktor to Microsoft Teams?

Sign up at app.viktor.com/signup, choose "Continue with Microsoft Teams" and sign in with a work or school Microsoft account. Click "Add Viktor to Microsoft Teams", confirm in Teams, and you are ready. If your company already uses Viktor, the wizard offers to join that workspace instead.

### Do I need a Copilot license to use Viktor?

No. Viktor needs a Microsoft work or school account and Teams, nothing more: no Copilot subscription and no per-seat add-on. Personal Microsoft accounts are not supported.

### My organization requires IT approval for Teams apps. What now?

That is a normal path. An admin grants consent once in Microsoft Entra ("Consent on behalf of organization"). Consent does not install the app: the admin then installs Viktor for everyone or for a group in the Teams Admin Center. To pilot with a few people, keep consent, set "Assignment required" in Entra and install for that group only.

### Is Viktor a Microsoft Teams AI agent?

Viktor is an AI employee. You do not build or maintain him: you ask in Teams, he does the work in your other tools and posts the finished result back. Sensitive steps wait for an approval card.

### How is Viktor different from Microsoft Copilot?

Copilot helps one person inside Microsoft apps: it drafts, summarizes and suggests, and it is licensed per user. Viktor is shared by the whole team, works across Microsoft 365 and 9,800+ other tools, runs work on a schedule and delivers finished files and updates back into Teams. Plenty of teams use both.

### Does Viktor read all my Teams messages?

No. He reads messages only in the channels and chats where he is installed. The permissions he asks for are your sign-in profile and email, messages in those channels and chats, channel settings and members, installing himself into meeting chats, your calendar (to find meetings) and the app catalogue.

### Can Viktor read our Teams meeting transcripts?

Yes, once your Microsoft tenant's transcript setting is turned on (it is off by default). After admin consent he can also be added to upcoming meetings automatically, then pull action items and create tasks.

### Does Viktor remember context in Teams?

Yes. Workspace memory works in Microsoft Teams, so he keeps your team's context: decisions, owners and how you like things done.

### Will Viktor act without approval?

Not for sensitive actions. Money moves, code pushes and customer emails wait for an Approve / Reject card in the chat, and admins can set any tool to "needs approval" or "forbidden".

### How much does Viktor cost?

Start free with up to $100 in credits, no credit card. The Team plan is $100 a month for 40,000 credits shared across the whole workspace, with no per-seat charges. Installing in Teams is free on every plan.

### Does Viktor also work in Slack? Can we move from Slack to Teams?

Viktor works in both. Each is its own Viktor workspace, and a Teams workspace cannot be moved to or merged with a Slack workspace self-serve: history and memory do not transfer automatically. Talk to us if you are switching.

### Is my data secure?

Yes. Viktor is SOC 2 Type 1 certified, with Type 2 in progress, and GDPR aligned. Data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256). Each workspace is isolated, credentials are injected at run time so the AI model never sees your keys or tokens, and neither Viktor nor its model providers train on your data.
