Quickstart

Get Otto Detective reviewing your pull requests: create a workspace, connect your code host, open a pull request, and Otto posts a native review.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

Step 1: Create a workspace

  1. Log in to fullotto.app
  2. Create your Otto workspace
  3. Add a card when onboarding asks for it: Otto verifies it with Stripe (no charge today) and adds a $10 welcome credit so your first reviews can run. Auto-reload is on by default and can be changed before you save the card

Step 2: Connect repositories

GitHub

  1. In onboarding, click Connect GitHub
  2. Install the Otto GitHub App
  3. Select the repositories Otto should access on GitHub's install screen
  4. Return to Otto — reviews are enabled automatically for granted repositories

Azure Repos

  1. Go to Settings → Integrations
  2. Connect Azure Repos
  3. Choose which repositories Otto should review

You can later prune reviewed repositories in Settings → Integrations.

Step 3: Open a pull request

When a pull request opens in a connected repository, Otto automatically posts:

  • A verdict: approved, changes requested, or commented (a native PR review on GitHub; stated in the summary thread on Azure DevOps)
  • Inline findings on changed lines
  • An Otto Review check run for branch protection
  • A Merge confidence: 1/5–5/5 score in the review summary

Step 4: Talk to Otto

Use PR comments to ask follow-up questions. Common commands include:

  • /otto re-review — ask Otto to review the current PR head again
  • Replies to Otto's inline comments — ask for explanation or clarification in context
