Delegate your day.
Otto for freelancers
Nobody is chasing that invoice except you. Otto drafts it, books the call and remembers the follow-up.
You just approve.
The short version
- One client email is often three jobs: an answer, a date and a promise. Otto handles all three.
- Follow-ups sync to Google Tasks or Microsoft To Do, and nudge you when nobody replies.
- Work and personal addresses stay separate: the selected account drives every action.
- Free covers one account with core mail, calendar, tasks and an AI allowance.
One client email is usually three jobs
"Can you take another two pages, and can we talk Thursday? Also, did the invoice go out?" That is an answer, a meeting and a task, and if you only do the first one it will come back next week with an edge to it.
Open the thread and tell Otto what you want to happen. It drafts the reply in your voice, proposes Thursday on your connected calendar, and puts the invoice on your list in Google Tasks or Microsoft To Do. You read the card and approve. Three jobs, one pass.
Get paid without being the chaser
Ask Otto to remind you if nobody replies by Friday, and Friday is when the thread comes back. Snooze the quote you cannot follow up until the trip is over. Schedule the polite nudge for Monday morning instead of writing it at eleven at night.
Nobody else is going to do this for you, and none of it needs a project management tool bolted on.
Hand over a note, not another attachment
The scope, the shot list, the notes from the kickoff call: write them in Otto's notes, invite the client to edit them with you live, or send a copy by email or a read-only link they can open without an account. The email goes from your own mailbox, and you can turn the link off when the job ends.
Find the thread without remembering the words
Six months later the client asks what you quoted. You do not remember the subject line, the month or whether it was in a thread or an attachment.
Search in Otto works the way you already search when you know the sender and the date, and it also works when all you have is "the scope I sent the agency in spring". Ask the assistant and it reads the results back to you with the thread attached, so you are answering the question rather than scrolling for twenty minutes.
Keep work and personal apart
Freelancing blurs the two faster than anything. In Otto the selected account supplies the mail, the calendar and the task list, so a client reply cannot go out from your personal address by accident. Free includes one connected account, and paid tiers add more when the second one earns its keep.
The same workspace runs in the browser and on your phone, and new mail is pushed in by Gmail and Outlook rather than polled, so the client email that arrives while you are on a train is there when you look. Your mailbox stays with your provider; Otto keeps an inbox index and any selected content you save through its features.
Start free, upgrade only if it pays for itself
Free is one connected Gmail or Outlook account, core mail, calendar and tasks, with an AI allowance. You can still read, sort and send it all by hand. Plus at $6.99 a month adds accounts, capacity and stronger models when the assistant has proved it saves you an hour.

Yes. Free includes one connected account and paid tiers add more. The selected account always supplies the mail, calendar and task context.
