Free Scout build

Get your first AI employee, built with you for free.

Scout is a Customer Finder. Every Monday it searches the public internet for people who need what you sell right now, and brings them to you with the link that proves it. I build Scout with you on a 30 minute call, inside your own account.

  • No AI experience needed
  • You own it
  • You decide who to contact

Scout, the Customer Finder

Scout

Customer Finder

Finds people showing a public sign they need you this week, with the link that proves it.

Be honest for a second

How many times have you said this?

"I just need to get through this month, and then I'll organize everything."

"Next quarter I'm going to focus on systems."

"Once I land this client, I'll have time to fix my outreach."

I've said all of them. More than once. And next quarter looked exactly like this one. Same chaos, different fires.

"I'll figure it out later" never worked for me. Your business will always find something new and urgent. That's what businesses do.

So I stopped waiting for a quiet month and hired help that doesn't need one. AI employees. The first one I build for every client is Scout, because finding the next customer is the job that slips first when you get busy.

What Scout does

A short list of real people, every Monday, with proof.

1

You tell Scout who to look for

Your best kind of customer, where they are, who you never want, and the signs that someone needs you right now. The form below covers all of it.

2

Scout searches and checks

It runs your searches across public posts, job listings, reviews and news, drops anyone outside your area or on your never list, and throws out anything it cannot back up with a link.

3

You pick who to contact

Monday morning the list is in your Slack. You mark each one good or bad, and Scout uses that to get sharper the next week.

Signs Scout can watch for, depending on your business

  • Someone posted in a public group asking for a recommendation for what you do
  • A company is hiring for a job you could take off their plate
  • A business just opened a new location or just got started
  • Reviews complaining about slow response or no callbacks
  • Someone just got promoted into the role that buys from you

Scout finds people. It does not message anyone. Who you contact, and what you say, stays your call.

Get ready

Three steps, then we build Scout together.

Do them in order. If you get stuck anywhere, stop there, write down what you see on the screen, and we will fix it on the call.

1

Fill in the Scout form

About 15 minutes

Your answers tell Scout who to look for, so this is the part that decides whether you get good names or junk. Short, plain answers are fine. Be specific: "small businesses" is too broad. Think of your three best customers and describe what they have in common.

The form asks whether you have set up Viktor and invited Tami. Answer "Not yet" to both. You do that in step 3, after you book.
Open the Scout form

It opens in a new tab. Come back here when you see "Your response has been recorded."

2

Book your 30 minute build call

2 minutes

Pick a time below. The Zoom link comes in your calendar invite. Plan to sit at a laptop or desktop for the call, since we build Scout on your screen.

Calendar not showing? Book here instead.

3

Set up Viktor before the call

20 to 30 minutes, any time before your call

Viktor is the AI employee software Scout runs in. It lives inside Slack, a free chat app, and you message it the way you would text a coworker. You need a laptop or desktop and a business email you can open right now.

  1. Make a new Slack workspace just for Viktor

    • Do this even if your business already uses Slack. Viktor needs its own workspace that you own, so Tami can be set up as your admin and Viktor stays out of your team's everyday chat.
    • Go to slack.com/get-started, create a new workspace and sign up with your business email.
    • Name it [Your Business Name] + Viktor, for example "Smith Coaching + Viktor". When Slack asks you to invite teammates, skip it.

    You should see your new Slack workspace open with your name in it.

  2. Sign up for Viktor

    • Go to ref.viktor.com/blue-sky-business-media and click the button to sign up.
    • Use your business email. The account and the bill are in your name.
    • When it asks to connect Slack, pick the new "+ Viktor" workspace. If you are signed in to more than one, check the workspace name in the top right corner of the Allow screen. Then click Allow.

    You should see a welcome message from Viktor arrive in Slack.

  3. Say hello

    • In the "+ Viktor" workspace, find Viktor in the left sidebar under Apps or Direct messages. Click it, type hi and press Enter.
    • Please do not ask Viktor to build anything yet. We set up its safety rules together first.

    You should see Viktor answer within a minute or two.

  4. Add Tami as an admin

    You should see the invite listed for [email protected].

On the call

You leave with Scout built and its first list in hand.

  • We turn on Viktor's safety settings, so nothing goes out without your say
  • We build Scout from your form answers
  • Scout runs once while you watch, and we open the proof links together
  • We put Scout on a weekly schedule, so the next list arrives Monday without you asking
Meet the rest of the team

Scout is the first hire. Here is who comes after.

Questions

Before you start

Do I need to know anything about AI?

No. Every step above tells you where to go, what to click and what you should see. If something does not match, stop and we sort it out on the call.

Who owns Scout?

You do. Scout runs in your own Viktor account and your own Slack workspace. Your account, your data, your bill.

What does it cost?

I build Scout with you for free. Viktor itself is a subscription in your name, and Scout's weekly runs use your Viktor account. We go over what that looks like on the call.

I already use Slack. Why a new workspace?

If Viktor goes into your existing company Slack, Tami cannot be set up as your admin properly, and Viktor would sit inside your team's everyday chat. A separate workspace keeps it clean, and it is free.

Will Scout contact people for me?

No. Scout finds people and shows you why each one made the list. You decide who to reach out to.

What if Scout's first list is short?

That is normal for a narrow niche on the first run. A thin first list tells us which signs to tighten, and we adjust it on the call.

Your first AI employee,
built with you, free.

Fill in the form, book your call, set up Viktor. That is all it takes.
