What managers used to do.

As a company grows, people spend the day carrying information up and down. Octo takes that over.

  • Gather it and pass it upOcto reads each channel and posts one page at a set time. Fewer meetings held just to hear it.
  • Chase it and ask againA question left unanswered for days gets counted, then asked once more. Not between 10pm and 8am.
  • Remember how many times this has happened“3rd-floor AC” gets tagged as the fourth time this year. Fix or replace is decided on that number.
  • Keep what was agreed runningLast week’s summary Monday morning, receivables Friday afternoon. Set once, it shows up without anyone minding it.

People only make the decisions. What Octo can’t judge, it asks a person.

9:30 every morning.

What Octo did yesterday lands in the report channel. Four lines up top, the details numbered in the thread.

#41 [AC] Logged the 3rd-floor outdoor unit repair with the last contractor → if wrong, “#41 like this”; to undo, “#41 undo”

#42 [Receivables] Asked the owner once more about Hansung’s April payment → if wrong, “#42 like this”; to undo, “#42 undo”

J. Kim9:48

#42 that one came in yesterday, in cash

OctoAPP9:49

#42 corrected. Hansung’s April is marked paid and I won’t ask again. Counted as a correction

Answer by number when it’s wrong. Octo counts its corrections every week.

One line — “#42, that’s not right” — and Octo undoes it and reads it that way from now on.

It speaks before you call.

If you’ve tried a Slack bot, you know the shape. It sits in Slack the same way, but does a different job.

A bot only shows up when called
Octo
Octo keeps reading the channels. It doesn’t wait to be called — if something needs saying, it says it first.
A bot needs the backstory every time
Octo
Octo learns your company. What was decided last month, that client’s situation, who owns this channel.
A bot does what it’s told, then stops
Octo
Octo judges. If it’s clear it acts and adds “tell me and I’ll undo it”; if it isn’t, it asks.
A bot leaves its mistakes standing
Octo
Octo leaves a trail you can undo. What it did and why goes in the log — and when it’s wrong, the correction goes in too.

Hire a person and they learn the company. Octo does the same — it just never stops reading.

A day of Octo.

We run it in our own company first. Several branches, fifty-four channels, all day.

Last week’s summary — revenue, receivables, three new clients. Posted in #announcements. Nobody asked

OctoAPP9:12

A client asked for the quote again, so I rewrote it in English. #sales

OctoAPP10:41

The AC is the fourth time this year, so I said so. #office — nobody asked, I counted

OctoAPP13:05

A question had gone three days without an answer, so I asked again. #support — I spotted that one too

OctoAPP15:20

The $1,900 settlement gap isn’t mine to call. Passed it to #finance

OctoAPP22:10

Still no answer on the stock question, but it’s late. I’ll ask again in the morning

🌙

Four of those six lines: nobody asked.

And yes, it does what you ask.

Not a brief. One line, with a file if there is one.

M. Park9:20

Here’s yesterday’s meeting recording, write it up

OctoAPP9:31

Minutes written. Three decisions, with owners and dates. It’s in Files

M. Park11:02

Put this quote into English

OctoAPP11:06

Done. Amounts and units untouched; the terms read like an English contract now

M. Park13:44

Where do corporate card receipts go?

OctoAPP13:45

To Sua in operations, through e-approval. That’s what Sua set in #announcements on August 12

M. Park15:10

Pull just the meals from last month’s card statement

OctoAPP15:22

Pulled. 27 meals, $1,240, and the three weekend ones are flagged

M. Park16:30

Keep our spreadsheet filled in every week too

OctoAPP16:31

Yes — though editing your sheet directly is Octo PLUS. Request it and we’ll set the scope; it can start from next month

M. Park17:05

thanks, you saved me today

OctoAPP17:12

Call me again. The three I made today are in Files

You don’t need to know the format or the steps. Say what you want at the end, Octo finds the way, and says so when something can’t be done. What it can’t call, it passes to a person — it doesn’t push on alone.

Not everything at once.

You don’t have to open every channel on day one. Start with the noisiest one, then add as you trust it.

Month 1#office onlyJust watch this one for nowWhat a person read alone
Month 2#sales tooRewrite the quote in EnglishWhat was done by hand
Month 3#support tooNo answer for three daysWhat used to slip past
Month 4#finance tooThis one isn’t mine to callWhat nobody was minding
After thatThe whole companyMonday morning, it’s already thereWhat a person used to chase

The first month is one channel. The one a person was reading alone. The rest gets decided as you go.

How it works.

Once you subscribe, this is the routine.

  1. 1

    You let Octo into the channels you already use

    Just pick which ones it may read. From that day Octo reads them. If your team is on something else, tell us when we talk.

  2. 2

    It learns your company

    On day one it reads the last three months of those channels. A question someone already answered, Octo answers next time — with who decided it and when.

  3. 3

    It speaks first, handles it, and leaves a trail

    When something needs saying, Octo says it. If it’s clear it acts and writes down how to undo it; what it can’t call, it passes to a person.

Two places using it now
An accounting firm

Octo sits in several company channels. It routes calls from tax offices to the right person, keeps a ledger of deposits, and reports on the business every morning.

A care hospital

Octo sits in a single channel, where website callback requests also land. It works like an assistant to the person running operations, reports every morning, and hands fixes to Cheetah and Beaver.

What people ask first.

How does it fit into our company

Octo joins the chat channels you already use. For each channel you choose on the portal: always-on (reads everything and decides) or when called (only threads where Octo is tagged). The first month starts with one channel.

Does it read private channels or DMs

It joins only the private channels you invite it to. What it reads in a private channel or in a direct message to Octo is used there only — asked in a public channel, it never answers from a private one.

Does it act without asking

Mostly, yes — it acts and reports. Only what can’t be undone — sending mail, money, deleting — is held, put in the report, and waits three days. If nobody says otherwise by then, it goes ahead.

How do I correct it

Anything that took a judgment call shows up in the 9:30 morning report with a number (#N). Reply “#3 — do it this way” and it learns the rule.

What happens to the data if I cancel

It’s yours. The files Octo made and the rules it learned all come back to you within 30 days, then the server is deleted.

Everything else — billing, cancelling, PLUS

Instead of hiring one more

Try Octo before you hire

One channel Octo may read is enough. Signing up starts a 14-day trial, and you decide after seeing what it did.

Sign up with Google · No card during the trial

  • Not the same as hiringYou hire, you train, they leave, you start over. Octo is a subscription, so what it learns stays with the company, and if it does not fit you stop next month.
  • Each company has its own serverWhat is said and what is learned never mixes with another company. What it reads in a private channel is used in that channel only. The files and the log are yours, and if you leave you take all of it with you.
  • The first 14 days aren’t billedYou decide after seeing the first piece of work.
  • You can stop any timeNo penalty.
