What is Ollie AI?

Ollie AI is an AI tool. Ollie is a text-first personal assistant for busy households. It connects calendars and email, flags school and inbox updates, sends a daily briefing, and can cancel subscriptions, book appointments and place grocery orders, all through an SMS thread with no app or login required.

Ollie is a text-based personal assistant aimed at people whose days are overstuffed with family logistics. There is no app to install and no dashboard to check: once set up, the assistant communicates through ordinary SMS on iOS and Android, pulling together calendars, email, reminders, to-dos and meal planning into a single thread. The premise is that the mental load of running a household is too large to hold in one head, so the work gets handed to a system that remembers it and follows up. The assistant is proactive rather than purely reactive. It scans connected school portals and inboxes for things that matter (a permission slip, an early dismissal, a schedule change) and flags them without being asked. It sends a morning briefing that rolls up the day's emails, reminders, calendar entries and meals. From there it can take the next step itself: cancel a subscription, book a grooming appointment, place a grocery order through Amazon, Instacart or Walmart, or submit a bill payment. Meal planning is a full loop, with dinner suggestions sent by text, an Explore page for swiping through recipe ideas, an auto-built menu, a grocery list grouped by aisle, and a confirmation once the order is placed. The audience is clearly households with children, and the product supports group texts so a partner or other caregivers can stay in the same loop. Privacy is pitched as a differentiator: delegated access for email and calendar means Ollie does not store passwords, data is not sold or shared, nothing is used to train models, and the company reports SOC 2 Type 1 compliance. Compared with app-first assistants that live behind a login, Ollie's appeal is its low friction and its domestic focus. Anyone looking for deep workflow automation at work, or a tool that operates outside texting, will find the scope narrower than general-purpose assistants.

How do you use Ollie AI?

  1. 1Start with a text, no account needed
    Begin free with no credit card and no login. Ollie works over text on both iOS and Android, so the first conversation is just a message.
  2. 2Connect your calendar and email
    Give Ollie context by linking calendars and inboxes through delegated access, which means it never sees or stores your password.
  3. 3Ask for your first daily briefing
    Request a morning summary to see how emails, reminders, calendar entries and meal ideas come together in one message.
  4. 4Add your household to a group text
    Bring in a partner, family members or anyone helping run the household so everyone sees the same updates and reminders.
  5. 5Hand off a task and let it run
    Ask Ollie to cancel a subscription, book an appointment, check a school portal or place an order, and it reports back with a confirmation.
  6. 6Upgrade once usage grows
    Plans are based on message volume. Compare the tiers after you have a feel for how often you text Ollie.
