Advanced usage

How Otto works when the job is real.

Otto's advanced mode is a proactive internal operating system for the product company: schedules, work routing, role assignment, status review, escalation, receipt bundles and next-best-work decisions.

Command surface

robot run otto --work-order daily-ops robot run otto --mode managed --input ./brief.md robot receipt otto --latest --include-checks robot approve otto --handoff human-review

Run mode

Managed cloud

Otto runs from a hosted work order with scoped context, visible status and a receipt at completion.

Run mode

CLI or workspace run

Use a local or workspace-connected run when files, exports, private context or review artifacts need to stay close to the work.

Run mode

Synced worker

Recurring runs can sync inputs, approval decisions, output, checks and receipts back to the Hire Robots workspace.

Operating workflow

From work order to receipt.

Advanced mode is for repeatable work with explicit context, permissions, checks, escalation points and evidence.

  1. 1

    Scope work order

    Turn the request into a bounded operations job with acceptance criteria, inputs and explicit non-goals.

  2. 2

    Load context

    Attach the approved files, URLs, notes, receipts or workspace records that Otto is allowed to use.

  3. 3

    Run draft pass

    Otto produces a first output and marks assumptions, missing information and parts that require human judgement.

  4. 4

    Check against standard

    Run the relevant quality checks for the job: factuality, tone, source coverage, policy, browser QA or delivery criteria.

  5. 5

    Prepare handoff

    Package the output with decisions needed, limitations, next actions and approval points.

  6. 6

    Sync receipt

    Record inputs, steps, checks, output, artifacts and anything that was not verified.
