About | Ollie
A personal AI assistant for everyday life
We know how heavy the mental load of family life can be — because we’re carrying it too. As parents, we’ve felt the constant pressure of trying to keep everything running: coordinating schedules, remembering a thousand small details, keeping the fridge stocked, managing school logistics, and answering the daily question — “What’s for dinner?”
That invisible work adds up. Not because any one task is hard, but because everything lives in your head.
We started Ollie to change that.
At first, we focused on one of the most persistent daily burdens: planning meals and groceries. Ollie helped families decide what to eat, organize grocery lists, and learn what their household loved.
But something quickly became clear.
Families didn’t just want help with dinner — they wanted help with everything that fills their mental space. The reminders. The plans. The things they didn’t want to forget. The constant stream of coordination that keeps a family running.
So Ollie evolved.
Today, Ollie is a personal AI assistant you can simply text — a system designed to take on the mental load of everyday life. Parents were among the first to embrace Ollie because they carry an extraordinary amount of invisible work, but the need is universal: remembering, coordinating, and following through on everything life requires.
Meals and groceries are still part of what Ollie does — but they’re just one example of a much bigger idea:
AI that helps people think less about logistics and spend more time on life.
Backed by Khosla Ventures and AI2, we’re building toward a future where everyone has an intelligent assistant helping them manage the complexity of everyday life.
