Otto launches Otto One, a home computer for AI agents

AIOtto introduces Otto One, a small box that runs AI agents at home and is controlled from a phone. The device keeps agent data on-premises and routes simple jobs to a model running on the box, calling cloud models such as Claude or GPT-4o only when a task needs them.

Agents are finally good enough to deserve a computer of their own.

I can just plug it in, tap the phone to pair it, and agents start sorting email, chasing accounts and handling admin on a schedule, and all of this remains on my device so my data never leaves

Today, AI agents mostly live in someone else’s cloud and stop when your laptop sleeps. Otto One gives them a small computer of their own at home that never switches off and that you control from your phone.

The new part is the routing: Otto One sends simple agent jobs to a model running on the box and only calls paid cloud models like Claude or GPT-4o when a task needs them, so you stop paying for every request.

Where does your AI keep everything you’ve told it? The 2am stuff. The passwords you typed while an agent was running. Your browsing history. Right now the answer is “on a server somewhere.” Agents are finally good enough to actually run your errands, and the price is that your whole life goes with them. We didn’t love that trade. So we built a computer your agents can live on, at home. Otto is a little box that sits on your desk. The agents are already on it when it arrives. You plug it in, tap your phone to it, and that’s the whole setup! Everything they read, type and remember stays in your house. - Agents set up before it ships, nothing to install
- 2,000+ apps with one tap, passwords stay on the box
- Thinks on the box, uses the cloud only if you tell it to
- Check in and approve things from your phone, anywhere.
