Things people actually text Otis

Not hypotheticals. These are the kinds of texts we get on a random Tuesday.

“Can someone drop off my laundry at the wash-and-fold on 2nd Ave and pick it up tomorrow?”

“I need a dog walker for Max, M/W/F at noon.”

“Whole Foods run — I'll send the list. Can they be here by 6?”

“I have 4 Amazon returns. Can someone take them to the UPS store on 3rd?”

“I'm sick. Can someone bring Tylenol, throat lozenges, and chicken soup from the deli?”

“I have like 5 things — light bulbs, a picture to hang, a loose cabinet handle. 30 min job.”

“Exterminator is coming between 1-3. Can someone be at my apartment to let them in?”

“Going to Boston for the weekend. Can someone feed the cat Fri/Sat/Sun and water my plants?”

“Can someone bring me a cortado from that place on 51st? I'm stuck on calls all morning.”

AI Assistant — Free Forever

Your second brain, over text.

No app to open. No account to create. Just text Otis anything you want to remember — and ask for it anytime. It compounds: by month three, Otis knows your life.

It compounds

On day one, Otis knows nothing. By month three, it knows your kids' names, shoe sizes, grocery preferences, go-to restaurants, your pediatrician, gift ideas, and every recipe you've saved. All from casual texts you barely remember sending.

“Text Otis anything you want to remember, find, or get done. Otis stores it, recalls it, and handles it — so you never lose track of anything again.”

The AI features are free forever. Reminders, lists, memory, lookups — all of it. You only pay when a human assistant does physical work.

What Otis Does

Built for how you actually live.

Not a marketplace. Not a gig app. A personal assistant that handles the things that pile up — weekly, monthly, and everything in between.

Every Week

The errands that pile up. Let Otis handle them on autopilot.

Grocery runs

Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, the bodega — your list, at your door

$15-30

Dog walking

Regular walks, reliable walkers. Set a schedule or request as-needed.

$15/walk

Laundry pickup & drop-off

Wash-and-fold handled. No more rushing before they close.

$15

Dry cleaning

Picked up and delivered. Otis remembers which cleaners are yours.

$15

Pharmacy runs

Prescriptions, OTC meds, vitamins. Weekly or when you need it.

$15

Package returns

Amazon, Zara, whoever — we take them to UPS, FedEx, or USPS.

$15

Not sure if Otis can help?

Just text what you need. If it takes one person 30-120 minutes, Otis can probably do it.

How Otis Works

You text. Otis figures it out.

01

Text what you need

“Can someone walk my dog at noon?” or “I need groceries from Whole Foods by 6” — describe it like you would to a friend.

02

Otis confirms the plan

Otis confirms the price, the timing, and sends a vetted assistant. No browsing profiles, no back-and-forth.

03

It just gets done

Your assistant handles it and Otis texts you when it's done. Next time is even easier — Otis remembers everything.

The more you use Otis, the less you explain

Otis remembers your address, your cleaners, your dog's name, your grocery list. After a few weeks, you text “the usual” and Otis knows what that means.

A small, dedicated team — you'll see familiar faces. Unlike TaskRabbit or Rover, Otis remembers you and every job gets easier.

Otis

One text for everything — groceries, dogs, laundry, returns, all of it
Text what you need. Otis handles the rest.
$15/30min — one rate, no platform fees, no tips
Vetted, local assistants — not random strangers
Otis remembers everything — every job gets easier
Questions

Good questions. Quick answers.

What can I ask Otis to do?

Two things: remember and do. The AI side is free — save anything (recipes, shoe sizes, gift ideas, links), recall it anytime, manage lists, set reminders, check the weather, look things up. The human side is paid — groceries, dog walking, laundry, pharmacy runs, package returns, anything one person can do in 30 minutes to a few hours. Just text it — Otis will figure out which one you need.

What are the free AI features?

Everything the AI does is free forever: save and recall information, grocery and packing lists, reminders, weather, quick lookups, even group text coordination. You only pay when a human assistant physically does work for you. The AI is your second brain — the humans are your extra hands.

How does Otis remember things?

Just text Otis anything you want to remember — “Emma's shoe size is 2.5” or “Gift idea for Mom: blue cashmere scarf.” Otis stores it, organizes it, and recalls it when you ask. Over time, Otis builds a personal knowledge base from your casual texts. By month three, it knows your life and you never had to organize anything.

Is my data safe? What about my kids' information?

We never sell your data, never share it with advertisers, and never train AI models on your conversations. Text DELETE ALL anytime to permanently erase everything. Text “privacy” to see exactly what Otis knows about you. Information about your children is never shared with anyone outside your household. Read our full privacy commitment.

Will I get the same person each time?

Otis tries to send consistent assistants, especially for recurring tasks like dog walking. Over time, you'll start seeing familiar faces. But every assistant is vetted, so even on a first visit, you're in good hands.

How fast can someone come?

For most errands, an assistant can be there within 1–2 hours. For recurring things like dog walking or weekly grocery runs, you set the schedule once and it just happens. Need something urgent? Text Otis and we'll do our best.

Do I need to download an app?

No. Everything works over text — just SMS to (929) 828-4141. There is an Otis app that unlocks extra features like daily briefings, calendar sync, and household management, but it's completely optional. Most people start with just texting.

How do I pay?

AI features are free. For human help, pay your assistant directly after the job is done — cash, Zelle, or Venmo. You can also save a credit card on file. Once a card is saved, future jobs are seamless: Otis confirms the price, you reply YES, done.

Can Otis work in group texts?

Yes. Add Otis to a group thread and it can help coordinate — plan a dinner, manage a shared list, split a bill, answer questions. Otis only speaks when someone asks it directly. Text REMOVE to take it out of any group anytime.

What neighborhoods do you cover?

We're live in Midtown East, Murray Hill, Kips Bay, Turtle Bay, Sutton Place, and Gramercy. More neighborhoods coming soon. The AI features work everywhere — no location required. Text Otis your address and we'll confirm human help availability.

Can Otis help with things that don't need someone to show up?

Yes — we now have a US-based remote team at the same rate ($15/30 min). Remote tasks include research, making calls, holding your place on hold, booking reservations, placing online orders, filling out forms, and planning events or trips. If a task can be handled over the phone or computer, our remote assistants can take it off your plate. Just text it like anything else.

Your Data, Your Rules

Privacy isn't a policy. It's a promise.

Otis remembers your life so it can help you better. That data is yours — not ours to sell, share, or exploit.

Text DELETE ALL. Everything's gone.

Two words. Otis erases everything it knows about you — immediately and permanently. No hold periods, no “we'll process your request in 30 days.” Just gone. This isn't just a feature. It's a trust signal: when you know you can leave instantly, you feel safe staying.

We never sell your data. Period.

We don't sell your data to advertisers. We don't share it with third parties for marketing. We don't train AI models on your conversations. Your texts to Otis are yours — not a product.

Text “privacy” to audit your data.

Most companies hide behind privacy policies. With Otis, text “privacy” anytime and it tells you exactly what it knows about you and how to manage it. Radical transparency, not legalese.

Your kids' data is sacred.

When you text “Emma has a dentist appointment Tuesday” or “Jake's shoe size is 3,” we know you're trusting us with information about your children. Otis never shares information about children with anyone outside your household. Period.

Only asks for first name

Never trains AI on your texts
