Otto Skills Overview

Skills are the operational actions that Otto can perform in OpCon on your behalf. When you ask Otto to complete a task, it maps your request to the appropriate skill, confirms the action, and runs it using the OpCon REST API.

Otto is available exclusively to cloud customers. On-premises customers do not have access to Otto or its skills.

How Skills Work

Otto interprets your natural language request and determines whether a matching skill is available and enabled. Before running any action, Otto responds with a confirmation message. If the skill is unavailable or the request fails, Otto responds with an error message.

Skills require the Chatbot Privileges function privilege. Users who are system administrators, who have All Admin Privileges, or who have All Function Privileges also have access. If Otto is disabled at the server level, no skills are returned regardless of user privileges.
