FAQ
Questions, answered plainly
Everything here restates what the rest of the site already says — just in one place.
The product
- What is Otopic?
- Otopic is the project brain that lives in your cloud — AI-native collaboration for teams and their clients, with sovereignty by design. More →
- What is a Topic?
- The Topic is the unit of work: notes, chat, tasks, decisions, and AI context in one durable container. Every Topic remembers its own context and history, so the AI can draft updates, surface stalls, and answer "where are we on this?" without anyone writing a status report. More →
- Who is Otopic for?
- SME teams of roughly 5–50 people — client-facing services first: agencies, consultancies, studios, professional services. A premium Sovereign tier serves regulated industries and enterprises whose data cannot sit in a multi-tenant cloud. More →
- Is Otopic a task manager?
- No. Otopic is a project brain: a memory of work, a decision ledger, and a knowledge graph for execution. Tasks are one part of a Topic, next to notes, chat, decisions, and AI context. More →
AI
- How is Otopic's AI different from a chatbot?
- AI is how work gets organized in Otopic, not a bot on the side. Because work is stored as structured, human-readable text, the AI can quote, summarize, and link real notes and decisions instead of guessing at visual state. More →
- Does the Free tier include AI?
- Yes — 30–50 AI actions per month on the Free tier, so every user experiences AI-native work from day one. Pro removes the quota. More →
Sovereignty & data
- Where does my data live?
- On the hosted tiers, in Otopic's cloud. On the Sovereign tier, Otopic deploys into your own AWS organization and your data never leaves your boundary — compliance becomes architectural, not contractual. More →
- Can distributed enterprises keep data in-region?
- Yes. Sovereign deployments can run per-region for multi-jurisdiction data residency while the organization shares one project brain. More →
- Why text-first storage?
- Structured, human-readable text is what AI parses accurately, and it stays portable, diff-able, and readable in ten years. The UI can be rich; the storage layer stays minimal. More →
Pricing
- What does Otopic cost?
- Free is €0 with full collaboration and 30–50 AI actions per month on the Free tier. Pro is €10–15 per user / month with unlimited AI, multiple workspaces, client-branded views, and priority support. Sovereign is pay-as-you-go (AWS + AI + subscription) for BYOC deployments. More →
- Do my clients need paid seats?
- No. Client-side stakeholders are always free — they are the people you collaborate with, not a revenue line. More →
