Setup
Install the macOS app or JSON-first CLI, then verify the daemon and supported local sources.
Resources
Find the right Ottto guide, source, or tool.
Install Ottto, verify its privacy boundary, understand agent memory and lineage, follow provider changes, or inspect the open runtime and engineering evidence.

-
Get started -
Reference Docs
Use short product guides for common tasks, or open the runtime docs for commands and contracts.
-
Trust Privacy & security
Review what the local runtime reads, what it may send, and where explicit approval is required.
-
Guide Memory & context
Learn where instructions and durable knowledge live, how compaction works, and what fills an agent window.
-
Watch Provider Watch
Track evidence-graded changes to pricing, quotas, token accounting, models, defaults, and policies.
-
Inspect Open runtime
Inspect the Apache-2.0 daemon, CLI, connector contracts, SDK, testkit, release tooling, and docs.
-
Automate CLI & skills
Run structured commands from a terminal or CI, and adapt open skills for repeatable agent workflows.
-
Evidence Engineering proof
Read measured case studies on agent memory, context overhead, and Ottto's review-to-deploy path.
Lineage & context
Trace delegated work. Audit its context.
One job can span a root session, launched agents, repository instructions, machine-local memory, and reusable skills. Agent Families shows recorded parent-child lineage. Context shows supported categories detected as they enter a measured window and estimates how long they persist. Coverage and estimates stay labeled.
