You write Otto a request, every tool step appears individually with its result, and anything that leaves the house gets presented to you for approval first.

Docs overviewThe conversation
One question, visible steps
The conversation is the central control surface: everything else in the app is either triggered from here or shows up here as a result. This page describes what actually happens when you send a question.
„Cancel my three o’clock today.“
- Read the calendar 3 appointments today done
- Found it: Bauer & Sons 3–4 p.m. done
- Looked for two free slots Thu 10 a.m. · Fri 2 p.m. done
- Wrote the cancellation Draft done
- Approval needed waiting for you waiting for you
The cancellation is ready. With both replacement slots in it. It goes out on your click, not before.
What becomes visible in the conversation
- Your question
- Sits in quotes above the steps, unchanged.
- Every tool step, individually
- With an icon, a short label and a result — a checkmark when done, a lock while waiting.
- The finished answer
- Summarised at the end, sometimes with a table or chart alongside.
- A pending approval
- The one step with a lock instead of a checkmark — nothing goes out before you agree.
