Otto Engineer

Otto Engineer, commonly referred to as Otto, is an AI-powered software that serves as an autonomous coding assistant. Tailored for developers, it operates directly in the browser, streamlining the software engineering process.

One of its standout features is the ability to execute and test code, continuously refining it until a working version is produced. Otto efficiently handles errors through repeated iterations, aiming for functional code.

Leveraging Web Containers technology, Otto can execute code in a secure, isolated environment using a virtual, in-memory file system. This ensures it operates safely without compromising system integrity.

The software requires no setup, offering a user-friendly experience where users simply initiate a new chat and let Otto take over. It can run commands and make code adjustments directly in the built-in terminal and editor, allowing users to track its progress.

Otto also functions in a realistic environment, capable of installing npm packages, modifying its TypeScript configuration, and generating its own tests.

Users can rely on Otto to create complex utility types, addressing the challenge of "hallucinated" code that fails to perform as expected.
