Otto is an AI travel agent that finds and books the hotel you want, on policy and on budget, in one chat. Ask for wifi that survives video calls and Otto factors it in. Free for your first year.
Otto's insight engine reads guest reviews and pulls out only what they say about wifi for actual work, not a “free wifi” checkbox.
Each hotel gets a 1–5 work-wifi score weighted toward recent stays, and is ranked only after 10+ reviews mention wifi, so the score reflects evidence, not vibes.
We surface speed vs. reliability, floor and area dead zones, recent infra upgrades, paid tiers, and a concrete workaround for each property.
A score of 3.0 means “reliable enough for video calls.” We call 3.5+ work-ready, 3.0–3.4 usually fine (with minor catches), and anything below 3.0 bring a hotspot.
