The 5 best Viktor AI alternatives
Best Viktor AI alternative if your team works in Slack and already uses Claude
01Claude Tag
One shared Claude, in public beta, that anyone in a Slack channel can tag.
- Best for
- Slack teams on a Claude Team or Enterprise plan that want to hand channel threads to one shared Claude
- Strengths
- Anyone in the channel can tag it, without a Claude seat. Sessions can run on self-hosted runners in your own network, in beta.
- Pricing
- Claude Tag needs a Claude Team or Enterprise plan. Team seats start at $20 a month billed yearly, or $25 monthly. Channel work is billed by usage, and Team plans buy usage credits first.
- Hosting and data
- Anthropic says data is stored in the US. Sessions can run on self-hosted runners, in beta and off by default, but admin-added connectors do not work there and Claude itself stays hosted by Anthropic.
- Where it works
- Slack channels, group messages and direct messages. Microsoft Teams is listed as coming soon. It has no email address of its own and does not join calls.
- Compared with Viktor
- Both put one shared agent in Slack. Claude Tag needs a Claude Team or Enterprise plan and lists Microsoft Teams as coming soon, while Viktor works in Teams today.
Best Viktor AI alternative for a full AI team
02d5sOur product
AI coworkers, one per role, in a workspace your team shares.
- Best for
- Teams that want one agent per role, each with its own Slack account and email, that asks before it sends or changes anything
- Strengths
- Models from several providers, set per agent. A daily budget for each agent. Each conversation starts in Ask, so agents ask before they send or change anything.
- Pricing
- d5s Pro is $25 a month and Team is $35 per seat a month.
- Hosting and data
- Workspace data is hosted in the EU. Enterprise customers can also run d5s in their own cloud or on-premise.
- Where it works
- Slack and Microsoft Teams, plus the web and desktop app. Each agent can have its own Slack account and email address. Agents join Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Zoom calls and take notes.
- Compared with Viktor
- Viktor is one shared agent for the whole workspace. d5s gives each role its own named agent, with its own Slack account and email, and d5s agents join Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Zoom calls, which Viktor does not.
