The Dropbox migration problem

Stop downloading and re-uploading files you already own

Stop downloading and re-uploading files you already own

Your PDFs, reports, and case files live in Dropbox because that's where your team stores everything. To use most AI research tools, you start from zero every time.

Years of research, locked in Dropbox

Your PDFs, reports, and case files live in Dropbox because that's where your team stores everything. The download-then-reupload cycle is high enough friction that most professionals never start.

Manual file transfer kills momentum

Every new analysis means find, download, open, upload again. By the time you're ready to ask your first question, you've lost 20 minutes. Otio eliminates the cycle entirely.

Your library stays where it belongs

Dropbox remains your file home. Otio becomes your research workspace. No duplication, no version control headaches, no wondering which copy is current.

One connection, unlimited research

Connect your Dropbox account once. From then on, importing files takes seconds. Mix Dropbox PDFs with web articles, YouTube videos, and podcasts in the same workspace.

Beyond storage - research across everything

Research across your entire library, not one file at a time

Dropbox stores your files. Dropbox Dash finds them. Dropbox AI summarises one at a time. Otio researches across all of them at once, with every leading AI model and cited answers.

Cross-document synthesis

Ask one question, get answers synthesised from your entire Dropbox library, with every claim cited to the exact page.

Every AI model in one place

Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok. Switch models mid-session. Compare how each interprets the same Dropbox file.

Cited answers, verify in one click

Every answer traces back to the exact page and passage. Click the citation to jump to the source. No hallucinated references.

Holds more than Dropbox files

Import PDFs from Dropbox. Add articles, YouTube videos, podcasts, CSVs to the same workspace. Query everything together.

Stop stacking subscriptions

Most professionals pay for multiple AI subscriptions because no single tool does it all. Otio consolidates every model into one workspace. Save the $60–80/month on overlapping subscriptions.

Your train of thought stays on the rails

No more copying your prompt, opening a new tab, pasting it into Claude. Ask once. Switch models with one click. Sources, conversation, and citations stay intact.

Model choice matters for research

Claude handles nuanced synthesis. GPT-4 is strong on structured extraction. Gemini processes large contexts efficiently. Pick the right model per task without rebuilding your workspace.

Cited answers you can trust

Every answer traces back to the exact page and passage

ChatGPT invents authors, fake journals, and page numbers that don't match. Otio generates answers only from the material you've uploaded. Every claim cites the exact source. If the answer isn't in your documents, Otio tells you.

Click any citation and jump directly to the source passage. Verify before you write, present, or submit. Lawyers need citations that hold up in discovery. Researchers need references that pass peer review. Otio is built for both.

of Otio answers cite the exact source page

Testimonials

What professionals say about Otio

@otio is really an excellent tool for understanding my papers. It is just like my personal librarian for the internet!

Feng Chun

Neuroscience PhD

I took a 2 hour YouTube video and had the AI in Otio summarise it. I then asked follow-up questions about the highlighted pieces that got my attention. All told, I was able to collect key takeaways in less than 10 mins. Amazing.

DnA

Researcher

I was fed up fighting with ChatGPT every time I wanted to do a deep dive on a library of research papers I had collected. It's the small things that made me switch - can't recommend it enough.

Karthik S.

Policy Analyst

I've been using Otio for a while now and I must say how much I like it! It’s incredibly helpful for summarizing key takeaways from research papers and long videos or podcasts, knowing from the start if the research is what I’m looking for and then allowing me to revisit important points precisely when I need them.

icon

Dana S.

Economist

Truly loved interface: it’s very straight forward and intuitive vs other ai's. Especially vs having 100 tabs open and copy & pasting back and forth from ChatGPT

icon

Natalya Z

Pharmaceutical Researcher

This is the exact tool I've been looking for…I've gathered an overwhelming collection of over 700 bookmarks and 190 open web browser tabs. These resources are my roadmap to research, but navigating through them has become increasingly challenging.

This has been the beacon I need in this sea of information.

Tracy

Founder

Love what you guys are doing and when I tried Otio out it really had me like *WOAH*.

Cosmo

Researcher

This is really nice. I don't have any regrets subscribing to Max version. The tool is perfect!!

icon

Gracia

Researcher

This update 🔥🔥🔥 I have a research lab meeting later today, and we're going to be discussing the implications of AI/tech. I used Otio to generate a summary and ask a follow-up question & it absolutely delivered.

The workflow was much more user-friendly than trying to accomplish the same thing in Bard.

Ben D.

Post-doc researcher

I don't know how you do it but the gap in summary and answer quality to ChatGPT is big. And having real text citations is a game changer.

Kirsten F.

ESG Reporting Analyst

The summarize podcast feature is revolutionary and game-changing for someone like me, who has hundreds of podcasts and videos to watch but either is too busy or doesn't have enough time.
