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.
