What is Otto Engineer

Otto Engineer is an autonomous agent designed to assist developers by generating, testing, and iterating code directly in the browser. It leverages Web Containers to execute Node.js and OS commands safely in isolation, requiring zero setup. Otto can install npm packages, configure TypeScript, and write its own tests, ensuring the code it produces is functional and reliable.

How to Use Otto Engineer

  1. Start a new chat with Otto in the browser.
  2. Provide Otto with a task or problem to solve.
  3. Watch Otto execute commands, edit code, and iterate until the code works.
  4. Download the generated code with a single click.

Use Cases of Otto Engineer

Developers use Otto Engineer to:

  • Prototype: Quickly generate working starter code with desired libraries and business logic.
  • Debug: Autonomously solve complex TypeScript issues and bugs.
  • Generate working code: Automatically implement utilities and mini-libraries.

Features of Otto Engineer

  • Self-checking and iterative coding

    Otto executes its code, tests it, and iterates until the code is error-free and functional.

  • Safe code execution in isolation

    Built on Web Containers, Otto runs Node.js and OS commands in a virtual, in-memory file system within the browser.

  • Zero setup required

    Otto operates entirely in the browser, allowing users to start coding immediately without any configuration.

  • Real environment operation

    Otto can install npm packages, configure TypeScript, and write tests, ensuring the code it generates is practical and functional.
