Meet Otto

The AI that organizes your team's work

Otto is Taskly's built-in assistant. Describe what needs doing in plain English and Otto drafts, edits and prioritises real tasks behind a diff you approve. It doesn't just suggest; it acts, with your consent.

Create

Describe the work. Otto drafts it.

"Create 5 tasks for a website redesign and assign design review to Sarah." Otto proposes the exact tasks (with projects, priorities, due dates, subtasks and assignees) ready for you to apply in one click.

  • Creates tasks, subtasks, recurrence and references in one request
  • Infers projects, priorities, due dates and assignees from context
  • Up to 30 tasks per request, every field validated server-side

Review & apply

Edit by chat, with a diff you approve

"Move my blocked tasks to in-progress and bump them to high priority." Otto shows a clean before→after preview for every change. You Apply or Discard: nothing happens behind your back.

  • Every edit shown as a reviewable before→after diff
  • Apply the whole proposal or discard it (your call)
  • Answers render as clean lists and tables, never raw markup or IDs
Prioritise

One click to a prioritised day

Hit Prioritise and Otto ranks your whole list by urgency (weighing due dates, how much work is left, status and age), then groups it into Do now · This week · Can wait · Reconsider, and proposes due-date and delegation changes.

  • Hybrid scoring: deterministic signals + AI reasoning
  • Accept the order, the order + changes, or discard
  • The accepted order becomes your tasks’ real order

Assign & delegate

Hand work off, the right way

Ask Otto to assign or delegate and the task moves into the right teammate's bucket, never yours by accident. Admins keep oversight through Team views, so nothing gets lost in the handoff.

  • Delegates to teammates only, with membership checks
  • Respects the personal-bucket model end to end
  • Pairs with notifications so people know what landed on their plate

Private & safe by design

Powerful, but never off the leash

Otto is built to be trusted: bounded, consent-gated, and private even from the model.

Emails never sent to the model

Unnamed teammates get stable pseudonyms, and real addresses never leave your workspace.

You approve every change

Otto proposes a reviewable before→after diff. Nothing is created or edited until you Apply.

Membership-checked, server-side

Every action runs on the server and is re-validated against your workspace permissions.

Hard caps & rate limits

≤30 creates, ≤50 updates, ≤20 references per request, plus triage cooldowns.

"The diff-before-apply is the thing. I trust Otto because I can see exactly what it'll do before it does it."
