eidan vs Viktor
A fully-hosted AI coworker that lives in Slack vs. a self-hosted agent host you own outright.
Viktor is a fully-hosted "AI employee" that lives in Slack and Teams and does real work — thousands of read-write integrations and a cloud sandbox that writes and runs code. eidan is the opposite architecture: a self-hosted agent host you run and own.
So the trade is ownership vs. turnkey. Viktor gives you a polished, zero-ops coworker on someone else's cloud; eidan gives you an agent and a memory that live on your infrastructure, open source, with no per-seat meter.
