What are AI specialists?
AI specialists are preset roles inside Otto, each tuned for a focused type of work such as OKR coaching, wiki drafting, or competitor monitoring. They use the same Elevale context as a general Otto chat, but start with the right lens and tools for that job. Defaults include Competitor Watcher, OKR Coach, Wiki Librarian, KPI Sentinel, Process Mapper, Social Posts, BD Digest, Task Closer, and Lookout.
How do MCP connections work with Otto?
Otto can connect to MCP servers and custom plugins from the integration library so specialists pull live data from external tools and, where permitted, help prepare updates your team reviews in Elevale. Elevale stays the system of record for direction, metrics, and execution. See MCP integrations for setup detail.
What are tools and routines?
Tools are one-off actions Otto and specialists can run on demand, such as deep research, image creation, or updating workspace records. Routines are scheduled runs for a specialist, for example a weekly BD Digest or Competitor Watcher scan, so monitoring happens without someone opening chat each time.
What can I ask the AI Strategic Advisor?
Anything about your business in context. Common themes include how the team is doing, OKR completion, KPI performance, market shifts, meeting follow-ups, and what leadership should prioritise next. Otto draws on your Elevale data and connected tools, not generic internet advice.
Can Otto help update Business Plan, OKRs, and tasks?
Yes. Otto is your strategic advisor inside Elevale, not a read-only chatbot. Ask him to help refresh your business plan, adjust OKRs and key results, and create linked tasks with owners and due dates. Changes stay in the same workspace as your KPIs, dashboards, and team assignments.
Can I turn meeting notes into OKRs or wiki pages?
Yes. Paste or upload meeting notes and transcripts and Otto drafts OKRs, wiki pages, and SOP sections for your team to refine. Elevale desktop can transcribe meetings so decisions captured in conversation become structured workspace records without retyping.
What data does Otto use to answer questions?
Otto reads from business plan, OKRs, KPIs, team assignments, tasks, business change logs, wiki content, market intelligence, advisor memory, and your live business health score. Connected MCP servers and plugins can add external data where you configure them. Answers are grounded in your operating data, not scraped from the open web.
Does Otto use market intelligence?
Yes. Market intelligence feeds into Otto and specialists such as Competitor Watcher and Lookout. Otto can help identify opportunities and threats using your business data, priorities, and the latest market signals when you ask for strategic guidance.
How is this different from ChatGPT or other AI tools?
Generic AI tools do not know your OKRs, KPIs, team structure, wiki, or connected MCP data. Otto lives inside Elevale with preset specialists, proactive monitoring, and shared advisor threads, so leadership does not copy context into a separate chat window before every review.
Does Otto proactively surface insights?
Yes. Otto constantly watches goals, execution, and market signals across your workspace, surfacing recommendations and running specialist routines before leadership has to go looking. You can act on suggested follow-ups without waiting for the next quarterly review.
Which plan includes the AI Strategic Advisor?
The AI Strategic Advisor is available on Foundation and above. Otto reads your business plan, OKRs, KPIs, and market intelligence from day one on the Foundation plan.
