What Otto AI Means for Your Golf Game
Otto AI is our artificial intelligence feature that transforms your golf data into actionable improvement insights. We built this system to analyze your performance patterns, benchmark you against golfers with similar handicaps, and deliver specific practice recommendations that help you understand exactly where and how to improve your game.
Why We Created Otto AI: Addressing Real Golfer Needs
Here's what we discovered: 78% of core golfers now use at least one golf app according to the National Golf Foundation, but the demand for technology that delivers real improvement has never been higher. We saw this gap and knew we had to act.
Our CEO and Founder, Anthony Douglas, explains our motivation: "We have tested this new functionality over the past few months and refined the model to make the AI give golfers the most useful and actionable information possible. Otto AI represents our commitment to helping golfers not just track their rounds, but truly understand their game."
From Data Collection to Game-Changing Insights
We know that traditional golf apps excel at collecting statistics, but most golfers struggle to translate this data into meaningful improvement. Otto AI solves this challenge by providing intelligent analysis that turns raw numbers into a clear improvement roadmap. We've seamlessly integrated it with our sister app, CORE Golf - the number 1 practice app for golfers - to give you complete support from analysis to action. When Otto AI identifies your improvement areas, CORE Golf provides the exact drills and practice routines to fix them.

The Six Ways Otto AI Helps You Improve
• Smart Analysis: We Find Patterns You'd Never Notice
Our Smart Analysis leverages artificial intelligence to identify patterns across your rounds, uncovering trends in performance that might otherwise go unnoticed. The system examines your club selection, scoring patterns, and performance in various conditions to build a comprehensive picture of your game.
This golf performance analysis capability helps you understand subtle trends that impact your scoring - from how you perform under different weather conditions to patterns in your club selection decisions that you never realized existed.
• Handicap Benchmark: See How You Stack Up
Our Handicap Benchmark provides essential context by comparing your performance against golfers with similar skill levels. This feature helps you understand whether your challenges are typical for your handicap range or represent specific opportunities for improvement.
The golf handicap comparison feature draws from our extensive database of 70 million rounds logged across our platform, so you're getting accurate benchmarks against real golfers at your skill level.

• Performance Breakdown: Every Part of Your Game Analyzed
Our Performance Breakdown delivers detailed insights into every aspect of your game – from driving accuracy to putting performance. Each area gets analyzed with clear metrics showing your current performance levels and areas needing attention.
This comprehensive golf statistics analysis ensures you understand exactly which aspects of your game offer the greatest improvement potential, so you're not wasting time on areas that won't move the needle.
• Focused Improvement: We Tell You What to Practice
Here's where Otto AI really shines. Focused Improvement cuts through data overload by highlighting the 2-3 specific areas where focused practice will yield the greatest impact on your scores. This targeted approach helps you make the most of your limited practice time.
Our golf practice optimization feature ensures that your improvement efforts go toward the areas that will have the most significant impact on your overall scoring. Each Otto AI recommendation links directly to specific drills in CORE Golf, so you know exactly which exercises to focus on during your next range session.
• Flexible Feedback: Analysis That Fits Your Style
We know every golfer is different. Flexible Feedback allows you to customize your analysis depth, from quick post-round summaries to detailed trend analysis over multiple rounds, matching your improvement goals.
This customizable golf analysis approach recognizes that some golfers want quick insights while others prefer deep dives into their performance data.
• Continuous Improvement: AI That Gets Smarter About Your Game
Continuous Improvement tracks your progress over time, with our AI learning from each round to provide increasingly personalized and effective recommendations.
Our adaptive golf technology ensures that insights become more valuable as you use the system consistently over time - the more you play and track, the better our recommendations become.
• Real Results from Our Beta Testing
During months of beta testing with hundreds of users, Otto AI demonstrated exceptional value in helping golfers understand their games and focus their practice efforts effectively.
Brett R., a 12-handicapper from California who participated in our beta program, told us: "I used to manually copy and paste my rounds statistics into ChatGPT after every round, hoping to get deeper insights into my game. With Otto AI, that's completely unnecessary now - and it works so much better."
