Does the job

Pretty happy overall. The onboarding just works and it is genuinely easy to set up. The mobile experience lags can be annoying, but no dealbreakers — I'd recommend it to a friend without hesitating.

Years in this space

I've evaluated a lot of these over the years. What stands out here is the automation — handled better than most — and support is responsive. Pricing gets steep at scale is my one real gripe. Worth the time if this is your use case.

Skeptical, then convinced

I went in skeptical — most tools in this space overpromise. It actually delivers on the core workflow, and it saves real time caught me off guard. The docs could be deeper is why this isn't a perfect score, still, I'd recommend giving it a real trial.

Compared a few options

Evaluated this against two competitors. Where it wins: the core workflow and it saves real time. On balance the feature set — especially the automation — justifies the 5 stars for our use case.

Q&A

What’s the best way to get the most out of Ollie?

Ollie works better the more you share with it. Just like a personal assistant, Ollie needs the context of your family life and work life to have a deeper understanding of what will work best for you. To do this, you can talk to Ollie like a friend, connect your calendar and email, and set up reminders as soon as they start taking up brain space. If you’re unsure if Ollie can do something, just ask!

Can I use Ollie with my family or partner?

Ollie is built with the whole family in mind. Though you can use it as your personal assistant, it works best with the whole family context to keep everyone in sync. Simply add Ollie to a group text message with anyone else involved in your family life: spouse, nanny, home managers, and even the kids so they can participate!
