oTTo was founded with a simple belief: the future of the built environment should empower professionals, not overwhelm them.
The secure project-intelligence layer for the built environment.
oTTo Vault gives architecture, engineering, and construction teams a secure place to organize project knowledge: drawings, calculations, specifications, RFIs, meeting notes, BIM data, cost information, and code references. Instead of losing intelligence across folders, emails, PDFs, and isolated software, firms build a structured project memory that oTTo can search, understand, and use to support professional workflows. oTTo Vault also gives firms visibility into project activity, file updates, review status, and team progress across distributed AEC workflows.
Centralize drawings, calculations, reports, specifications, meeting notes, and project records into one organized AI-ready workspace.
Support code-aware workflows while directing users to official references when authoritative content is required.
Help teams retrieve context, compare assumptions, generate reports, organize design criteria, and accelerate engineering documentation.
Use the Vault as the base layer for structural calculations, BIM coordination, quantity takeoffs, cost estimation, and future AEC-specific tools.
oTTo Vault is the foundation of the oTTo ecosystem: firms begin by organizing their project intelligence, then expand into specialized AEC workflows built on top of a trusted project data layer.
Engineers, architects, and builders today face increasing project complexity, tighter timelines, growing coordination demands, evolving codes, and fragmented workflows spread across countless platforms and documents.
Despite advances in technology, many professionals still spend enormous amounts of time searching through codes, organizing calculations, validating criteria, generating reports, and rebuilding repetitive workflows from project to project.
That is why we are building oTTo.
oTTo is being developed as an intelligent workflow and assistance platform for the architecture, engineering, and construction industries.
We envision a future where engineers, architects, and builders can access intelligent guidance, connected workflows, technical assistance, code-aware support, documentation tools, and engineering knowledge within a unified ecosystem designed specifically for the built environment.
We believe artificial intelligence should support professional expertise, not substitute it. Human judgment, engineering responsibility, creativity, and experience remain irreplaceable. oTTo is being developed to enhance them.
Yet many daily workflows are still fragmented, repetitive, and inefficient. Professionals often struggle with:
For younger professionals, there is often another challenge: understanding the reasoning behind engineering decisions. Many tools provide outputs. Few help users understand the "why" and "how" behind them.
oTTo is not being developed to replace engineers or industry-standard software. We deeply respect the tools that have shaped the profession for decades. Platforms such as ETABS, SAFE, SAP2000, Revit, and other professional analysis and BIM solutions remain fundamental to modern engineering workflows.
oTTo is being developed as a complementary intelligence and workflow platform that helps professionals better understand engineering logic, organize technical information, streamline repetitive processes, and access structured guidance throughout the design and construction process.
The future of engineering is not humans versus software. It is professionals empowered by better tools.
Our mission is to create tools that help these professionals reduce repetitive work, improve technical understanding, and focus more time on engineering excellence.
Who calculate and design the systems that keep buildings standing
Who imagine, create, and coordinate the built environment
Who execute, coordinate, and bring architectural visions to life
And young professionals learning the profession and building their foundation
Seeking more efficient workflows and better project integration across disciplines
Built for professionals in both markets, with support for US and Mexican codes
