software and tools, Otto AI helps graphic designers take
control of their money — without spreadsheets or stress.
Otto AI keeps tabs on your projects, tools, and client payments
— so your creative energy stays on your work, not your receipts.
Freelance design work often means juggling proposals, invoices, revisions, and payments. Otto AI makes the business side of freelancing simple — tracking your income, surfacing write-offs, and prepping your taxes — so you can focus on pixels, not paperwork. Whether you’re full-time or part-time, Otto adapts to your pace and workflow.
Designers invest in tools, fonts, plugins, devices, and training. Otto AI automatically detects industry-specific expenses — helping you deduct everything from your stylus to your stock photo subscriptions. Plus, get reminders for quarterly taxes and a preview of what’s ahead — no guesswork, no stress.
