Human-in-the-loop agentic HR
Otto does the HR work. You approve it.
Otto HR is not a set of screens waiting for you to fill them in. Otto reads and ranks the applicants, drafts the policies, assembles the pay run and answers your team from your own records, and every action it takes stops for a person to say yes.

Why Otto
Otto works the lifecycle. You make the decisions.
01
Hiring and onboarding, already done
Otto reads every CV and hands you a ranked shortlist. Sign the offer and onboarding assembles itself. You decide who moves.
02
Pay runs and time off, prepared
Approved time off, balances and records are already in the pay run when you open it. Otto prepares. You check and approve.
03
Your team asks Otto, not you
Balances, policies and payslips answered in the employee portal, from your real HR data. The same actions are open to your agents over MCP, with role-based access and audit logs.
What's inside
What Otto does, and where you sign off.
Otto screens, you shortlist
A branded careers page, one pipeline, AI resume screening and optional voice pre-screens. The reading is done by the time you open the list.

Offer to first day, unattended
Templates assign themselves, documents get requested, tasks get chased. You are told what is outstanding, not asked to track it.

The pay run assembles itself
Approved hours and time off feed payroll where they already live, so a cycle starts from a prepared run rather than a blank spreadsheet.

A portal that answers back
Employees update their own details, request time off and ask Otto their own questions, and your inbox gets quieter.

Frequently asked questions
HR software manages the employee lifecycle, from hiring and onboarding to payroll, time off and records, in one place instead of scattered spreadsheets and tools. Otto HR is the agentic kind: rather than handing you screens to fill in, it does the work. It screens, drafts, prepares and files, and waits for a person to approve each action.
Yes. Otto is designed for small teams without a dedicated HR department, with an interface that needs no training.
Hiring and ATS, onboarding, payroll, time off, and an employee portal, plus Otto acting across all of them and an MCP interface for your own agents, all in one platform.
Yes. Approved hours and time off live in the same system as payroll, so they flow into each pay run without manual exports.
Plans are per employee, with paid tiers as your team grows. See the pricing page for current plans and limits.
No. Otto drafts, screens, computes and prepares, but the act that changes a person's record, pay or offer is always taken by a human. That is what human-in-the-loop means here: the work arrives done, the decision stays yours, and every action is written to an audit log.
