Language, the assistant’s name, your name, account, a single consent screen, eight getting-acquainted questions, the mailbox, and a finish screen — three of these steps can be skipped and picked up later.

Eight steps, no form
Setup runs as a conversation: the assistant asks one thing at a time, an eight-dot progress bar shows where you are. None of this needs memorising — this page lists it for reference.
The eight steps, in order
-
Language
German or English — takes effect immediately, changeable later in Settings too.
-
The assistant’s name
Otto is suggested by default; you can enter a name of your own.
-
Your name
How you want to be addressed — can be skipped.
-
Account
Sign in with email and password; “Later” skips this step.
-
The one consent screen
One single screen stating what the app may do on your device — the exact wording shown is logged with a timestamp.
-
Getting acquainted
Eight skippable questions: profession, company, location, signature, projects, tax advisor, tax status, pet peeves.
-
Connecting your mailbox
Address and password; the provider is detected and shows matching instructions — can be skipped.
-
Done
Setup finishes — the daily board opens right after.
Three steps carry their own “Later” button: your name, the account, and the mailbox. Anything skipped can be picked up again later — none of it blocks the other steps.
Known gap
Known gap in this documentation build (as of 25 Sept 2026): the individual steps are checked, but a test that runs all eight in sequence as a real end-to-end flow does not exist yet.
