Fully Autonomous Booking: what it does and what always stays a draft

Fully Autonomous Booking is Otto's deepest mode: he loops the whole booking cycle on his own, over and over, until you tell him to stop. It's clearly marked experimental, it asks for a real confirmation before starting, and the highest-stakes items never go out without you.

How to start it

1. In the left sidebar, find the Autonomous booking row and press Start.
2. A confirmation window appears with an experimental warning, so you know exactly what you're switching on.
3. Press Start it to begin, or Not yet to close the window with nothing changed.

What always stays a draft

Even in fully autonomous mode, three things never send themselves:

• Cold outreach
• Quotes
• Contracts

These always stay drafts. Otto prepares them and lines them up, but they wait for you. That rule holds no matter what - it's the guardrail that makes an experimental mode safe to try.

How to stop it

You can stop at any moment, from either of two places:

• The sidebar: the Autonomous booking row shows Stop while it's running.
• The engine banner: the banner above your conversation shows what's running and carries its own stop button.

Watching it work

Like every engine run, autonomous work streams into Activity, so you can follow along step by step, see what Otto is doing right now, and answer if he parks a decision for you. Autonomous never means invisible.

Autopilot vs Fully Autonomous Booking

They sound similar, so here's the difference in one line each:

• Autopilot runs one task you choose - a preset like "Run my booking operation" or something you describe yourself - and finishes when the task is done.
• Fully Autonomous Booking loops the entire booking cycle continuously until you press Stop.

If you're trying unattended work for the first time, Autopilot is the gentler entry point. Fully Autonomous Booking is for when you've watched Otto work, trust the guardrails, and want the whole cycle running on its own.
