## What can your AI employee do in Plaid?

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

### About Plaid

Connect to users' bank accounts.

### 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 Plaid actions, chains them together
3. **Runs in Plaid** - Helps you connect bank accounts and pull financial data - your real data.
4. **Reports back** - Delivers the finished result to your workspace

## Use Plaid from Slack and Microsoft Teams

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

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

## Security and permissions

- API key - Viktor stores your key encrypted, uses it only for the actions you ask for, and you can revoke it at any time.
- Review-first approvals: sensitive Plaid actions wait for your sign-off before they run.
- Isolated compute per team, encrypted in transit and at rest - and your data is never used to train models.
- SOC 2 Type 1 compliant, with Type 2 and ISO 27001 in progress.
- Viktor is not affiliated with or endorsed by Plaid.
