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

Congrats on your launch @ashitaa ! I like the overall design style of Otto. Also, the name is very interesting, is there a story behind it?

Great product idea, there are so many use cases for this. One that immediately comes to mind is for the elderly. My husband was keen to capture his Mum's life story (while she remembers it!), but she's going blind & has arthritis so this solves all those barriers. Another use case are kids with dyslexia like my son. He hates writing & reading, but is an amazing storytelling with audio tools. Is there an app available in the Australian app store? I couldn't find one? Or it's a desktop tech for now?

@emily_willis1 Emily - I love both of these use cases. Def personally relate to wanting to capture life stories of people you love while they are still with us (and remember it). What kinds of storytelling tools does your son use? It's desktop tech right now and mobile web should work soon. No app at the moment. Would you say you have a preference for apps over web?

@ashitaa web is fine for now for sure! I only asked about mobile as I reckon for capturing those ‘moments’ when a story idea comes to you, you’re more likely to have your mobile with you to capture it in Otto. For kids, creative folks and the elderly, a mobile is a device that’s got a really low barrier to entry (it’s more accessible). I can imagine if I was walking in nature & had a creative idea (where all my best ideas come to me!) a mobile app would be fab!

Wow! What story framework does this use? Dan Harmon? Hero’s journey? Or does it depend? Really curious!

What is the most creative use case you’ve seen @ashitaa ? Congratulations on the launch. ps I’m more on my mobile for these sort of things, but going to try out the desktop offering now. Keep it up

Hi Ashita, What a thoughtful concept behind Otto! The idea of easily preserving personal histories is truly wonderful. I'm curious, does Otto help guide the conversation with prompts, or is it more of a free-flow storytelling experience? Can't wait to capture a chapter of my own journey. Wishing you the best with this launch! Cheers!
