count how much of your day is not your actual work.
reading email to find the few that matter. digging up what you promised someone last week. getting ready for a call you forgot was today.
none of it is hard. it just never ends, and it eats the hours you meant for the work that moves you forward.
the people who get the most done don't do this part. a chief of staff does it for them, so their day goes on decisions. until now, only the top of the org chart had one.
Opus 5.5 can do that job now, for anyone. give it a week, and you will wonder how you ever worked without it.
hand over the goal with a day and a time, and let him work out the steps.
00. a chief of staff, not an assistant
01. an employee, not a chatbot
02. 10 minutes, not a weekend
03. a lead list, not a to-do
04. a finished offer, not an idea
05. a week of posts, not a blank page
06. a report, not a spreadsheet
07. your week back, not your busywork
the last chapter is your first 4 weeks, one job a week, and how to stop it all.

00. a chief of staff, not an assistant
an assistant waits for instructions. a chief of staff takes the goal and comes back with it done.
the 60% nobody sees
most of a workday is not the work itself. Asana surveyed over 10,000 workers and found that about 60% of the day goes on work about work: chasing updates, hunting files, shifting priorities.
in Deloitte's 2026 survey of chiefs of staff, having one saves a CEO more than 30% of their time.
the catch was always the hire: a good chief of staff is a senior salary, and works for one person. so i gave the same jobs to Viktor and kept what came back.
*hand over the goal, and get back the finished work.*
01. an employee, not a chatbot
a chatbot answers when you ask. Viktor goes and does the job on his own computer in the cloud, then posts the finished file in Slack or Teams.
he is an AI employee: you brief him like a new hire, in plain words, and he picks the tools, does the research and hands back a spreadsheet, a PDF or a page.
in one week he can do the legwork a chief of staff would:
- find people who could buy from you, with a reason to write to each one
- write the offer you would send them
- plan and write next week's posts
- turn this week's numbers into one page and a plan
set a job once with a day and a time, and it repeats without anyone remembering to start it.
*you give him the goal, he gives you the file.*
02. 10 minutes, not a weekend
you don't install anything. you add Viktor to Slack or Teams, connect the tools you already use and brief him like a new hire.
1. sign up with Slack or Teams. no Slack at work? a free workspace of your own works, and in a company workspace an admin may need to approve the app.
1. open *Integrations* and connect the tools you already use. a new workspace earns bonus credits for each of the first apps it connects.
1. write to him in Slack the way you would write to a new teammate, or press *New task* under *Scheduled*, choose *Create manually* and give a job a day and a time.
Viktor starts free with $100 in credits and no card. each job uses credits, and *Usage* in his settings shows what every run cost.
put four lines about you at the top of your first message, so every job starts from your business:
Viktor's privacy policy says your data never trains a model, his or his AI providers', and you can disconnect any app in one click.
*10 minutes, and someone is working for you.*
03. a lead list, not a to-do
you type "find me customers". he comes back with a spreadsheet of real businesses from public data, ready to contact.
paste this into Viktor:
what came back
in my run for dental clinics in Austin, he pulled about 240 practices from Google Maps, cut the chains, read the remaining websites and kept 25, each with one real detail and a draft opener.
he drafts the outreach, you decide what goes out. to refill the list every week, add "every Monday at 9:00" to the message.
*a list you can work today, not a task on your list.*
04. a finished offer, not an idea
tell him what you sell. he returns a one-page offer you can send today.
paste this into Viktor:
*the offer is ready before the meeting.*
05. a week of posts, not a blank page
the hardest part of posting is deciding what to post. he decides, writes and lays it out in one sheet.
paste this into Viktor:
what came back
mine took 1 minute 13 seconds. add "every Friday at 10:00", and next week's sheet is waiting each Friday.
*you approve posts instead of inventing them.*
06. a report, not a spreadsheet
numbers in a sheet tell you nothing on a Friday. he turns them into one page: what moved, what didn't, what to do next.
paste this into Viktor:
what came back
mine came back in under 3 minutes, built only from the rows i gave him. put it on "every Friday at 16:00", and the week sums itself up.
*one page tells you what to do next.*
07. your week back, not your busywork
add one job a week, on top of the ones already running.
1. first week: sign up for Viktor and get your first lead list.
1. second week: write the offer for those leads.
1. third week: put next week's posts on a Friday schedule.
1. fourth week: add the Friday report.
by week four, you won't remember how you worked without it.
how to stop it
pause a job with *Pause* in the task's menu, and cut his access to any app under *Integrations*.
