Detailed comparison
A closer look at the differences.
Where Adapt and Viktor differ, one dimension at a time.
Where it lives
Adapt
Slack and a web app
Tag @Adapt in Slack, or use app.adapt.com for searchable history, cited sources and shareable links.
Viktor
Slack only
No standalone web app today; everything runs through a Slack channel, DM or thread.
Seeing what the agent did
Adapt
Every step, in the open
Each response, in Slack or the web app, shows the tools queried, the SQL or Python run, each sub-agent’s findings, the raw data and cited sources.
Viktor
Finished work in Slack
PDFs, dashboards and commits in the channel, plus an action-level audit trail for admins; the reasoning stays in the sandbox.
The brain you build
Adapt
A visible, self-updating brain
Knowledge, memory and versioned skills you edit in Adapt or sync from your GitHub repo. It learns from your work, and each answer shows the skills and knowledge it used.
Viktor
Workspace memory the agent maintains
Shared memory learned from use, kept as skill files the agent reads and writes in its cloud sandbox.
Custom apps you iterate on
Adapt
A dedicated Apps page
Grid or list view, search, sort, favorites, build summary and preview before save. Describe a change and Adapt saves a new version.
Viktor
Spaces deploys full-stack apps
Full-stack apps with databases, auth and a custom subdomain, from one Slack message; comparable to Adapt Apps.
Scheduled tasks you can manage
Adapt
Defined naturally, visible everywhere
Daily, weekly, monthly, cron or one-time, in plain language, at most every 15 minutes. Results go to a Slack DM, channel or web app inbox.
Viktor
Managed in Slack
Set up by chatting with the agent in Slack, and reported back there.
Personal first, then shared
Adapt
Start focused, then expand
Connect what one workflow needs, then invite the team and add shared integrations; personal chats stay private.
Viktor
Workspace-level integrations
Integrations and learned context are shared workspace-wide from day one; Private Mode is on its public roadmap.
Proactivity in Slack
Adapt
Real judgment, not a heartbeat
Fires on your triggers (email, forms, deal closes, webhooks, crons) and monitors, judges if each event matters, then acts, with approvals.
Viktor
A heartbeat watching Slack
Per its engineering blog, it reads Slack about four times a day, reacts with emoji and replies to threads unanswered for a couple of hours.

Adapt
Transparent unit pricing
Published rates, itemized and billed continuously, scheduled tasks included. No seat minimums, 0% markup on your own model keys.
Viktor
Credits per workspace
Team plan: $50/month for 20,000 credits per workspace. Its own guide puts active workspaces at $300–$400 a month, with schedules and long threads the biggest savings.
Privacy of conversations
Adapt
Private by default on web
Web chats are private unless shared; admins see metadata, never content. Slack keeps channel privacy; admin and member roles today, granular RBAC on our roadmap.
Viktor
Shared workspace context
Memory, integrations and learned context are shared workspace-wide; per-user Private Mode is on its public roadmap.
