# Otto AI Macro Regime Intelligence

> Otto AI Macro Regime Intelligence is a paid API for AI agents from x402.ottoai.services, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns the current macroeconomic regime label with live federal funds rate, 10-year treasury yield, and CPI year-over-year inflation data.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability otto-ai-macro-regime-intelligence-4fc356fe
```

Example prompt: What's the current macro regime right now — are rates steady or rising, and is inflation going up or down? I need the federal funds rate, 10-year treasury yield, and CPI before I make a trading decision.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a structured, AI-ready macro regime classification alongside raw rate and inflation data in a single call. Prefer it over raw Fed or Treasury data APIs when you need a pre-labeled regime string for downstream logic (e.g. adjusting DeFi yield strategy, filtering crypto trade signals, or gating risk-on positions). Especially useful for AI agents that need to contextualize market conditions without parsing raw economic releases.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream Alpha Vantage data unavailable — may return degraded:true with stale data
- Rate or inflation data delayed if market data feed is lagging
- Regime label may lag real-world conditions due to caching (check stalenessSec in meta)
- Payment failure if USDC balance insufficient on Base/Polygon/Solana

## How this service works

Daily US macro-regime snapshot from licensed Alpha Vantage series: 10-year Treasury yield, effective federal funds rate, three-month rate changes, CPI index and YoY inflation, plus a mechanical rates-direction/inflation-direction label with disclosed thresholds. Three upstream calls per daily refresh; scanner context only.

## Output

A JSON object containing: the current macro regime label (e.g. 'rates-steady_inflation-falling'), federal funds rate (%), 10-year treasury yield (%), CPI year-over-year inflation (%), data provider (Alpha Vantage), the date the snapshot is as of, and metadata including whether the data is degraded and staleness in seconds.
