Frequently asked questions

• What is Otto?

  Otto is an autonomous AI superagent that works like a trusted teammate that chats with you and takes action on your behalf. Give it a goal and Otto coordinates work across your apps, systems, and collaborators, continuing to follow up, and take action until the job is done. You can ask Otto to tidy your inbox once a week and draft emails to any you haven’t responded to in the meantime. It can manage your calendar and send you a summary of your day. Create documents and images, leveraging the best AI assistant for the job. It handles both work and personal tasks. Unlike a search engine or chatbot, Otto doesn't just answer questions, it gets things done.

• How do I connect my apps and tools?

  Setup takes minutes! Otto is powered by Workato Enterprise MCP, so you can use any of the app and tool plugins from existing MCP servers from your Workato account or easily use new plugins. Once connected, Otto can securely pull context from your apps, check calendars, coordinate with others, sync files, and take action on your behalf. In the future, Otto will also guide you through connecting new apps and help build the required MCPs for you.

• Can Otto coordinate with my team or family?

  Yes! Otto loves to help. Otto can email people, send messages, coordinate calendars, and loop in stakeholders on projects. You can add team members or family to projects so they get updates directly. Otto handles the back-and-forth, with your permission, so you don't have to. Otto-to-Otto coordination: You can easily invite team members or family, then your Ottos can coordinate directly with each other. Your Otto can share project updates with their Otto, align on deadlines and dependencies, and coordinate work in real-time—without everyone needing a meeting. Your projects stay synced across different people's Ottos while keeping everyone informed.

• How much does Otto cost?

Upgrade to Pro for personal use, which includes 1,000 credits, or choose a Team plan with multiple seats and shared credits for collaborative work. You can purchase additional credits as needed, set monthly spending limits, and upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your plan at any time.

• How is Otto different from AI assistants like ChatGPT or Co-pilots like Claude Cowork?

  Otto is an AI multiplayer superagent, meaning it connects directly to your tools, remembers context across conversations, and acts. It also runs continuously in the background. Unlike a chat-first assistant's agent mode, which you start one session at a time and which caps out at a set number of tasks per month, Otto keeps working without you needing to kick off a new session each time. And one Otto can collaborate with another person’s Otto to get work done.

• Where does Otto work?

  Otto works wherever you are—in the Otto app on web or mobile, Slack, or any connected platform. You can chat with Otto directly and have it proactively reach out to you with updates. Otto lives in your workflow, not as a separate tool you have to open.

• Is my data secure in Otto?

  Your data is encrypted and secure. Otto only accesses the tools and data you give it permission to connect. You control what Otto can see and do. Data is never shared with third parties, and you can disconnect any integration at any time.

• When I delegate work to Otto, how do I know it’s doing the job?

  You're always in the loop, on your terms. Otto confirms before doing anything sensitive or hard to undo, hands you a clear "here's what I did" summary after every task, and shows its work right inside the tools you already use. If you prefer to hand it off completely, Otto still checks in proactively and flags anything worth your attention so you get all the time back with none of the guesswork. And if you ever want to jump back in, undo, or adjust course, that's always just a message away.

• How does Otto follow up and stay accountable?

  Otto operates with managed autonomy: Proactive follow-up: nudges stakeholders when needed Escalation: flags blockers and raises issues requiring your input Scheduled monitoring: can check in on your calendar, messages, and tools for relevant changes Adaptive execution: adjusts approach based on new information without re-prompting You're kept informed of progress and decisions, but you don't micromanage or babysit execution.
