Clone vs Viktor · AI-employee startups

Viktor is one AI coworker in your Slack. Clone gives every role its own governed clone, on every channel.

Their pitch. An AI coworker that lives in Slack and Microsoft Teams, connects to thousands of tools, and does the work when anyone on the team asks, with no per-seat pricing.

Where they're strong

  • Remarkable early traction: a $15M annualized run rate and 2,000+ organizations about three months after its February 2026 launch, backed by a $75M Series A led by Accel.
  • Zero-friction start for Slack and Teams teams: free to begin, every integration on every plan, and credits shared across the workspace instead of per seat.
  • Thoughtful security basics: credentials are injected by a tool gateway so the model never sees them, admins choose which actions need approval, and each workspace runs in its own sandbox.

Where they stop

  • Lives in Slack and Microsoft Teams. Its enterprise page names no phone, SMS, email or meeting channel.
  • Positioned as “One AI employee. Every team.”: one shared coworker rather than separate clones hired into specific roles, each with its own permissions.
  • Configurable data retention “is not available today” and is listed on the roadmap. SOC 2 Type 1 is certified; Type II and ISO 27001 are still in progress.
  • Pure usage pricing: every task draws down shared credits (100–300 for a quick task, 2,000–5,000 for a full project), and scheduled automations burn credits too. Paid plans start at $50 a month for 20,000 credits.

Already asking Viktor for things in Slack?

Viktor proves teams want AI that does the work. Clones take it further: each one is hired into a real role with its own default-deny permissions and memory of every person it works with, reachable by phone, SMS, email, chat, video and meetings, with every action logged, on one flat plan with credits included.

One shared computer, or a teammate with its own keys

Security has to live in the architecture. Clones get access denied by default, permissions set at the object level, and every action on the record.

Questions buyers ask

Is Clone another AI model?

No. Clone runs on the leading models (GPT, Claude and Gemini) and uses the one that fits each task. What Clone adds is the teammate around the model: a role, your company's knowledge, skills it actually runs, the channels your people use, and governance on every action.

We already use ChatGPT or Claude. Why move to Clone?

Because your clones run on those same models and add everything a chat window lacks. Even for everyday writing, research and code, a clone starts from your company's knowledge, its memory of you and your sent email, where chat starts from a blank box. Clones also own outcomes: they work your inbox, phone line, CRM and meetings, and log every action for review. All of it on one Clone plan with usage included.

How is Clone different from Microsoft 365 Copilot?

Copilot makes people faster inside Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams. Clones do the work itself, inside Teams and Outlook and across every other system, including Salesforce, HubSpot and Google. They take calls, join meetings, and come on one flat plan with usage included, instead of a license plus metered agent charges.

How is Clone different from Grok Bot?

Grok's documentation says every bot on an account shares one cloud computer, including its files, browser sessions and credentials, and that separate bots shouldn't be used as a security boundary. Each clone has its own permissions, default-deny access and its own audit trail.

Couldn't we build this ourselves with OpenClaw, LangChain or n8n?

You could build an agent. Matching a clone means also building layered company knowledge, per-person memory, a skill pipeline that tests against live systems, object-level permissions, full audit, phone and meeting channels, and model routing, then securing and running all of it. Clone gives you the power of an open agent with those guardrails already built.

How does Clone pricing compare?

Clone plans are a flat monthly price with usage credits included. For example, Pro+ is $2,000 a month for up to 100 users, with $2,000 in credits included. Most alternatives charge a seat fee and then meter agent usage on top.

Which models does Clone use?

GPT, Claude and Gemini all run under the hood, so you're never locked into one provider.

How does Clone handle security?

Security is built into the architecture: access is denied by default on every route, permissions are set at the object level across orgs, departments, clones, skills and users, 100% of clone actions are logged, credentials are encrypted at rest, clones are pinned to specific skill versions, and each customer's data is kept separate. Clone runs on Google Cloud with Azure failover. Our SOC 2 Type II audit is in progress.
