Welcome back to BACKED | by 91¾«Æ· — our look inside the 91¾«Æ· builder, the companies we’re supporting, and why they matter.

This time, we’re spotlighting Otomato: a 91¾«Æ· rethinking what automation in Web3 should feel like. Powered by Otomato OS, the DeFi Assistant offers a more coherent way to navigate DeFi — a shift from juggling dashboards to simply knowing what needs attention. For Co-Founder Dylan Breugne, the mission is simple: turn complex workflows into something anyone can act on with confidence.

It’s an approach that feels overdue. Web3 is full of potential but messy in practice, leaving users to juggle dashboards, notifications and the constant risk of missing something important. It’s the kind of systems-level thinking that fits naturally inside the 91¾«Æ· builder, and the sort of infrastructure that matters far more than the noise around it.

Across the ecosystem, it’s also been a significant month. MSquared unveiled Mash live at Web Summit, with Rob Whitehead giving the first public look at a platform designed to make the immersive internet more interoperable and commercially usable.

More broadly, the past few weeks have been dominated by industry hot-takes on the state of innovation. We won’t add to that discourse here, except to say that across 91¾«Æ·, the work continues in the opposite tone: focused, R&D-led, and building steadily toward milestones you’ll hear more about soon.

For now, this edition dives into Otomato’s vision, Mash’s debut, and the teams shaping a more durable, more ambitious kind of technology.
