Hey, I'm Otis. I'm here to talk — whether you're having a hard night, working through a step, or just checking in. What's on your mind?

Not a crisis service. Emergency: 911 · Crisis: call or text 988

How Otis works

Simple, grounded, always available.

Step 1

Start talking

Type what's on your mind — a craving, a question about a step, or just a check-in. No account, no setup.

Step 2

Grounded in the Big Book

Otis searches the first 164 pages of the Big Book and responds with AA-grounded wisdom — not generic advice.

Step 3

Warm, direct support

Plain-spoken responses — like a good sponsor or old-timer. Honest about what Otis is and isn't.

Step 4

Back to real connection

Otis always points you toward your sponsor, a meeting, or a real human. A bridge, not a destination.

What Otis can help with

Built for the in-between moments — after the meeting, before the phone call.

Crisis support

When things get serious, Otis leads with 988 and emergency resources — every time, no exceptions, before anything else.

Relapse & slip support

"Welcome back" — not judgment. Otis meets you where you are after a slip and routes you toward same-day concrete action.

Daily check-ins

Morning or evening, a simple check-in helps you stay grounded and connected to your recovery between meetings.

Step work companion

Working Step 4 or Step 9? Otis walks alongside you with grounded questions drawn from the Big Book — paced like a sponsor, not a textbook.

Sponsor-finding support

Scared to ask? Otis walks through what to look for, exactly how to ask, and what it looks like in those first weeks.

Meeting encouragement

Whether you're finding your first meeting or getting back after a gap, Otis helps you think through the next step.

Honest answers

Otis works best when you know exactly what it is — and isn't.
