Engage · OTTO Engine
OTTO qualifies.
Your rep closes.
OTTO is not a chatbot. It’s a no-code automation engine that runs every inbound conversation — asking one question at a time, capturing structured data, routing by intent and language, and delivering a pre-qualified lead alert before your rep picks up the phone.
The Prepare Caller message
The final OTTO message tells the contact who will call, from what number, and when — so they’re expecting the call. Answer rates increase vs. cold outbound.

Convert · Outbound
Your list.
Put to work.
Every contact that opts in through an entry point lands on a list you own forever. TextingOnly’s outbound tools turn that list into personalized campaigns — with dynamic keywords, reply automations, and OTTO qualifying every response.
Generic vs. personalized
“Hey there! Here’s our spring offer.”
“Hi Sarah — you asked about HVAC in Baltimore in March. We have a Spring Tune-Up running this week. Still interested?”
5x higher reply rate with personalization

Multilingual
Build in English.
Serve every language.
TextingOnly translates OTTO questions, responses, and outbound messages into Spanish, French, Nepali, Pashto, and more — with one click. Contacts self-select their language on the interstitial. OTTO runs in their language. Your team receives every lead alert in English.
