Large Language Models (LLM) & AI Market: Workato Launches Otto AI Superagent for Teams
Workato announced a self-serve launch of Otto — an autonomous, multiplayer AI "superagent" — now available to individuals and teams via Slack, the web, and SMS with a 30-day free trial. Otto runs on Workato’s control and execution platform and is powered by Anthropic’s Claude through the Claude Agent SDK. The agent plans and executes multi-step projects across applications (claiming access to 1,400+ connectors) and builds persistent memories tied to team and individual context. Customers and partners quoted in the announcement include GitLab, Casco, and Box, which describe integrations (including a native GitLab plugin) and use cases spanning marketing campaigns, sales tracking, and go-to-market operations.
Introduces an enterprise-focused agentic AI product (Otto) powered by Anthropic’s Claude with broad app integrations and self-serve availability; relevant to MarTech and enterprise automation but not a platform-level policy/industry-shifting event.
