What OtterDesk does

A plain-language overview of OtterDesk as a local AI co-worker supervisor.

What OtterDesk does

OtterDesk is a calm desktop control room for AI co-workers. It helps you add a role to your team, understand what that role is doing, and make the decisions only a person should make.

It is designed for supervision, not hands-off automation.

What you can do

  • Browse and hire co-workers from a catalog.
  • Configure each co-worker for its mission.
  • Test work before setting a recurring schedule.
  • Watch progress and inspect results.
  • Answer approval requests or send corrections.
  • Chat with eligible co-workers about their role and current work.
  • Connect another computer when you need more capacity.
  • Archive co-workers while keeping their history available for review.

What stays in your hands

You choose which co-workers to hire, the settings they use, when they run, and how to respond to decisions. You can pause a test, pause a schedule, change configuration, or remove a co-worker.

For the hands-on path, start with Quick start.
