📌

Hey Makers and Hunters 👋 I’ve been building Otto for the past few weeks as a way to record personal stories and histories. In part, I’d been thinking about how I’d have loved to learn more about my grandmother before she passed. In part, I’ve been feeling the need to share some of the lessons and learnings from my own life. To do that, I’d need to hire a writer, pay thousands of dollars, or run my own interviews, make notes, write things down and organize them into a book. 🫠 So I made something that’s super easy to use - like having a coffee chat with a friend who asks really good questions. Just use your voice and talk. Otto makes transcripts and creates a chapter after each session. In 30 days, you’ll have a finished biography. You can try out a free chapter now. I hope you have as much fun using it as I did building it. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

@ashitaa Otto sounds like a great idea to capture little moments that would give our friends and loved ones context about our personality, hopes, and fears. Thank you for making a thoughtful product to share these stories @ashitaa

Hey Ashita! This is something I really want to try with my granny. I've been thinking of capturing all the stories she's shared so I can always have something to pass on to the next generations.

Congrats @ashitaa on launching Otto! 🎉 It's such a brilliant concept - turning personal stories into a digital memoir. How does Otto handle editing and structuring longer narratives? Also, how does Otto handle sensitive or private information in the stories shared?

@imaravind Thanks Aravind. We do structured sessions based on themes to organize your story into chapters that make sense. Chapters are created based on direct transcripts from your interview with Otto. We take privacy seriously and all your personal data and stories are encrypted and protected and accessible only to you. The language models operate within a closed system - they generate text without retaining any information post-session. You have complete control over your data, with the ability to edit, delete, or permanently remove information at any time. What do you hope to use Otto for? Feel free to DM if it's sensitive.

@ashitaa Got it! Makes sense. > What do you hope to use Otto for? I don't know.. probably a digital memoir for my toddler daughter to go through when she grows up 😃 Good luck with the launch!

@imaravind awww. love that, Aravind. I like that you're looking ahead. I'm always fascinated by the stories we tell. Curious - What kinds of stories would you tell her - more generally focused on your life or words of wisdom for her?
