What Otto launched

Where does your AI keep everything you’ve told it? The 2am stuff. The passwords you typed while an agent was running. Your browsing history. Right now the answer is “on a server somewhere.” Agents are finally good enough to actually run your errands, and the price is that your https://t.co/vNGSD1gXcQ

About the launch
Otto One is a small, screenless computer that sits on a desk and runs AI agents around the clock, for people who want those agents handling email, browsing, files, and connected apps without leaving that record on a server they do not control. This November 10 launch is the formal introduction of the machine, and it opens presales for Otto Pro, a separate line built to run models on the device. Agents can now do real errands, which means they collect passwords, inboxes, and browsing history. Otto's answer is a box the owner keeps at home. You plug it in and tap a phone to pair it. Otto One ships with the OpenClaw agent runtime already installed, and there is no keyboard or monitor. The box is fanless, 4.4 by 4.4 by 1.5 inches, with an Intel N95. The 8GB and 256GB model is $599. The 16GB and 512GB model is $799. A $20 refundable deposit holds the $599 model, with the next units expected in January 2027. More than 2,000 services come preconfigured, including Gmail, Slack, Notion, and GitHub, and passwords stay on the device. Chat between the phone and the box is end-to-end encrypted. Memory, files, and browser sessions stay on the machine. On Otto One, the model call itself still goes to a cloud provider, with a zero-data-retention option and support for your own API keys. There is no hardware subscription. Otto Pro is for people who want that inference to stay local. Otto was founded in May 2026 in New York by Jake Trefethen, Quinn Finney, and Jaan "AJ" Bhatia, who earlier co-founded the agency Cord Digital. Trefethen, the CEO behind this post, previously led AI at the brokerage Public. Finney, the CTO, previously held that title at Acquisition.com. The launch video turns the privacy stakes into a mock auction of email, late-night searches, location history, and a camera roll, the material an agent picks up once it is trusted to run someone's life.
