Get OtO!

total game changer for yard care, tech-forward and super easy to set up!

Precision watering without trenching!

[Ali Sabti @sabtinator]

@seyitaylor Agree. one BIG monitor

[Ali Sabti @sabtinator]

@RobSchmidt434 Hi Rob, thanks for considering OtO. you'll never be forced to subscribe and all feature with or without a solution subscription work the same. Unlike an inject your OtO will still water without a solution installed and includes full weather intellegence and water control features

[Ali Sabti @sabtinator]

@d0tslash @otolawn We might explore it in the future, but right now we're focused on an exceptional experience for core features. We'll prioritize removing OtO from the watering zone so it doesn't dribble on itself at the start. Smart home and Home Assistant are the same boat.

@fahdananta Key is that this type of work feels like play for the successful entrepreneur.

[Ali Sabti @sabtinator]

@MargatanHomes @otolawn Haha love it! Glad you’re enjoying your OtO.

@fahdananta It wasn't 10x better than a framed photo, and the value of seeing different memories throughout the day was wiped by smartphones.

@seyitaylor landlines... blows my mind that ~ 30% of homes still have one

@olivegarden switched their tagline from 'When you're here, you're family' to 'Go Olive Garden'

The old tagline suggested a warm, aspirational experience of dining with family — now they command you dine with them.

cold and generic

@robjama Bull - access to talent, and market being in close prox. to the US.
Bear - gov. thinks money and those who have/make it are evil; drives away capital and execs

@broadwayblue604 @otolawn should be less than 5 minutes on good wifi, we have firmware progress update coming in future app releases.

[Ali Sabti @sabtinator]

@aminTorres @otolawn love to hear it! glad you're enjoying OtO

[Ali Sabti @sabtinator]

@raydargham Safe travels!

[Ali Sabti @sabtinator]

@robjama Agree. For me it’s because an initial idea is never all flushed out. the simmer allows it to evolve in a more organic and less forced (I have x runway left) manner. Often the biggest 0-1 to breakthroughs happen at this time.

@mirmanwar Unique and small batches don’t mix. 3d printing is not there so volume is needed to recoupe tooling costs.

[Ali Sabti @sabtinator]

Innovation, policy, action: a necessary trio to reverse the tide. Soil is more than just dirt; it's the cornerstone of global food security and a path out of poverty for many.

[Ali Sabti @sabtinator]

The world is facing a silent crisis; Our soil is vanishing, a global predicament that echoes the Dust Bowl's harsh lessons.

[Ali Sabti @sabtinator]

Regeneration offers hope beyond conservation. Following the Dust Bowl, the U.S. led the way with measures like FDR's Soil Erosion Service. Globally, projects like China’s Kubuqi Desert transformation prove solutions exist. It's a matter of will, not way.
