OCTOVO has no feature list — you tell it in one sentence what to take over. This page collects 49 such sentences from seven fields of work and shows on four orders what comes of them.

Examples

The list doesn’t end

OCTOVO has no feature list we hand you. It has eight arms and one ear. What comes of that, you decide with a single sentence. Here are forty-nine — find your trade.

To the seven trades

Each of these sentences is a complete order — written down the way you would say it to a person.
