The All-in-One AI Research Workspace Now available for iPhone on the App Store

Your data lives in spreadsheets your AI couldn't read without mangling every column. Otio 2.0 now reads them directly and turns them into visualisations. CSV, TSV, XLS, XLSX, XLSM, XLSB, ODS.

@elicitorg is brilliant at finding the papers. The moment your evidence includes a YouTube interview, a podcast, or a scanned PDF - and you actually need to work across all of it - that's an Otio job. Upload anything. Ask any model. Get answers traced back to the source.

Most AI tools make you export to Excel, switch to a viz tool, then piece it back together. Otio just draws the chart in the chat. Ask for a year-on-year comparison across three reports. Bar chart appears. Every number cited back to the page. No tab-switching. No copy-paste loop. The data becomes visual without leaving the conversation.

You spent three hours synthesising twenty sources into a note that finally makes sense. Then someone asks to see it. Copy-paste into email. Already stale. Formatting breaks. Context gone. Otio Notes share as a link. No account needed to read. They can sign up right there if they want to keep building. Your research stays in one place. Sharing takes three seconds.

You already wrote the draft. Now you need to make it good. Bring your document into Otio. Edit it inline with AI. Run a critique against your sources - every claim traced to the page. Compare versions side by side. Visualise the data. This is the loop people pay to keep. Not a one-shot summary. A real refine cycle on your own work.

@NotebookLM is great until you hit the 50-source cap. Or need Claude instead of Gemini. Or your citation has to point to an exact page, not a vague passage link. Otio: every model, no source limits, one connected library instead of separate notebooks.

You find an article. Skim it. Think "I should save this." Then it vanishes into browser history forever. Otio for iPhone has an Arc-inspired in-app browser. Open any link. Reader Mode strips the noise. Long-press any passage to explain it, save it, or search further. The page goes straight into your library, cited back to the exact page you just read. No more losing the thing you almost remembered. Try it -> otio.ai/?ref=x Use code GO50V2 for 50% off Otio Go for 3 months.

@whoisjenniai writes your next sentence. Otio reads your 80 unread sources first. Different problems. Different stages. If the blank page is the easy part, you need a research workspace, not autocomplete.

Nellie, a vet student at Adelaide University, runs multiple AI models side-by-side in Otio when she's decoding journal articles for research papers. She highlights a confusing section, asks the same question to @claudeai , @OpenAI , and Gemini at once, and compares their answers in parallel. Every response traces back to the exact quote in the source; no rereading the same sentence twelve times hoping it clicks. She organises her workspace by topic: uni research in one, life admin in another. All her sources stay in one place. All her models run in the same thread. That's the difference between four tabs and one workspace. Original video by Nellie (@nellieforellies on Instagram)

Jenni AI's claim confidence feature checks whether your citations match your claims - after you've already written the sentence. Otio solves the upstream problem: making sense of 80 sources before you write the first line. Different workflow stage. Different tool.

You can't run the same prompt through Claude and GPT side-by-side in ChatGPT or Claude. You lose one model's angle. 30 transcripts + 6 months of Slack exports. One question, two models, both cited. Different themes surfaced.

Perplexity searches the open web. That's fine if your source is online. But when you're working with 200 PDFs, client transcripts, or discovery files you can't feed to a search engine - you need a workspace, not a search bar. Otio is your personal knowledge management and research tool.

Stephanie, a 22-year-old content creator building a startup app, keeps everything in Otio - scripts, research, build notes. Separate workspaces per project. Parallel AI chats to compare ideas instead of chasing one thread. Quote-level citations so she trusts what she's reading. Original video by Stephanie Chung (@stephaniechungxh on IG) ✨

No copying. No pasting. No screenshotting. No re-explaining context every time. Try it here: otio.ai/?ref=x → Free 7-day trial on Otio Go → Otio Lite available for $7/month → 50% off your first 3 months of Otio Pro with code PRO50V2 A consultant told us she spends half her day copy pasting document sections into ChatGPT. Every time, the AI starts from zero - no memory of what she's reading, no idea why this paragraph matters more than the last. A medical student tested NotebookLM on textbook chapters full of data tables. It broke the layout and hallucinated every number. His take: "I can no longer rely on it to study inline document tables." Different stories, same gap: AI tools can't see what's on your screen. The workaround everyone lands on is screenshot it, switch tool, upload, ask. Five steps when it should be one. Otio fixes both. Open a source in your library and the chat already knows what you're reading - no attaching needed. See a graph, table, or diagram? Hit Capture and it lands in your chat. Ask about the visual itself, not a broken text extraction.

Sometimes the hardest part isn't writing the essay. It's reading 30+ sources, then figuring out where to start and what to say. Upload your sources. Type your essay question. Otio then pulls the key points across all of them, and gives you a structured outline, with citations so you know the output is source grounded. You still write every word. You just don't start from a blank page. otio.ai/?ref=x

Most researchers I talk to are running the same setup: ChatGPT for one thing, Claude for another, NotebookLM for source grounding, Google Scholar for discovery. Four tools, four tabs, four subscriptions. Someone on Reddit called it "cobbling together a franken-AI from spare parts." That's exactly right. We built Otio because the workflow shouldn't be the problem. One workspace, every model, unlimited sources, and you can actually export something at the end of it. otio.ai/?ref=x

We're in an information age where collecting the right sources, data, etc., takes up so much energy that by the time it comes to synthesis, you're depleted. Drop in a CSV and start making sense of your data. Otio analyses it, generates visualisations, and lets you chat across it, alongside every other source using any AI model (Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok). Switch models without re-uploading. Every answer is source-grounded with verifiable citations.

AI research tools that only use one model are limiting your output. Otio gives you Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, and Gemini in one workspace. Upload sources once, pick the best model for the task, get cited answers. Example outputs from different llm's in comments below 👇 No tab switching. No re-uploading. Just output.
