Voice-first Local Pro application

Start by talking to Otto.

Tap once for a live two-way conversation. Otto can ask follow-up questions, fill routine application details from what you tell him, and guide you through what is still missing. Prefer typing? The same application stays available below.

Otto is ready

Tell Otto about your business. He’ll fill the application with you.

This is a live two-way conversation. Otto can ask follow-up questions, remember what you already covered in this browser session, and organize routine application facts so you do not have to type everything.

Type instead Review my information

Talk naturally. Otto will ask follow-up questions and organize the application for your review.

Your browser may ask for microphone permission. Voice does not accept legal consent, verify credentials, approve the application, or move money.

Otto is ready

Talk to Otto about your business

Tell me your business name, the work you do, where you work, and the projects you want. I’ll organize what I can into an editable draft, then ask only for what is still missing.

Prefer privacy or typing? Use the same draft

Otto only turns on the microphone after you tap — your browser will ask first.

Voice comes first when your browser and the approved provider are available. You review every captured fact before submission.

Ready when you are. Nothing is submitted until you review and confirm it.

Draft progress is kept only for this browser session. Voice suggestions never approve or route you.

Build it over time

Make your profile easy for a GC to hire from.

The basic Local Pro application gets you into the network. This layer answers the commercial questions a GC usually asks next: crew, scope size, experience, lead time, credentials, project examples, and which hiring documents you already have ready.

Sensitive documents are not public. Marking a W-9, COI, license, or reference as ready only tells OttoServ it is available. A matched GC still needs permission before contact information or hiring documents are released.

How should Otto handle hiring documents?

Ask me every timeBest privacy. A GC can request the packet; nothing private releases until you approve.After I accept the opportunityOtto can prepare the packet after you signal interest, but release still follows the match permission flow.Pre-approve matched GCsFor controlled matches only. It never makes documents public or available to unrelated GCs.

You can come back and deepen this profile later. Better data improves matching; it never guarantees work.
