Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built Otter because I wanted an AI coding agent that doesn’t ask you to blindly trust it with your codebase. Otter is self-hosted and local-first: understand your repo, ask questions, generate implementation plans, review diffs, and approve changes before they’re applied. It works with local LLMs through Ollama as well as OpenAI-compatible endpoints, and is available through the web UI, CLI, and MCP.
Would love your feedback, especially on how you’d want an AI coding agent to earn your trust. 🦦
