What is Otto
Otto is a personal AI agent that lives on Telegram. It captures everything you tell it, organizes it with the GTD method and reminds you of things proactively — without you ever opening another app.
The 3 things Otto does
No dashboard, no Kanban board, no templates to customize. Otto does just three verbs. Always, in this order.
1. Capture
You send it text, voice notes or photos. It takes everything in, without judgment and without asking you to organize. You're in the car, an 8-second voice note → captured. You see a book in a shop, a photo → captured. An idea in the shower, a quick voice note → captured.
2. Organize
Otto applies the GTD (Getting Things Done) method by David Allen + its creator's operating frameworks. Every input is clarified (next action vs project vs waiting vs someday), classified by context (@phone, @computer, @office…), area (personal/work), energy (high/medium/low), time (2/5/15/30min/1h+) and priority.
Give it a big project (e.g. "launch a monthly newsletter") and it automatically breaks it into 5-8 concrete actions with set dates.
3. Remind you proactively
Every other tool waits for YOU to open the app. Otto does the opposite: it messages you. Morning briefing, reminders before events, evening check-in, Sunday weekly review, a ping if you disappear for hours. You don't discipline the system: the system disciplines you.
Under the hood
For those who want to understand the technical depth:
- 3-layer memory: long-term (who you are, your vision), mid-term (projects, quarterly goals), short-term (events from the last 48h). Like the human mind.
- Chris-mode persona: it talks like Chris La Porta — an Italian operator, direct, dry, zero buzzwords, zero guru-style motivation.
- Multi-turn aware: it remembers the last 20 turns of the conversation. It knows what you were talking about 10 minutes ago.
- 1h prompt caching: the system prompt is cached to cut costs and make responses lightning fast.
- Powered by Claude Sonnet 4.6 from Anthropic + Whisper (OpenAI) for voice notes.
Built by
