What is changing?

Privacy-focused personal assistant Ollie will end service on November 6, 2026. Co-founder and CEO Bill Lennon said the small team could not keep pace with growing competition while trying to expand the product and raise more capital. The company will send users instructions for exporting data and obtaining refunds in the coming days.

Ollie connected to email and calendars to combine appointment booking, meal planning, bill payments and family organization in one subscription. In September, the company announced a $7.5 million seed round led by Khosla Ventures and highlighted SOC 2 compliance as a key part of its privacy approach.

The shutdown shows that service continuity is as important as security for AI assistants handling sensitive email and calendar data. Users should export their data, revoke connected-account permissions and monitor the refund process before the deadline.
