Olly alternative
Olly is an AI you text. Same job family as us. Available today.
They are an iMessage-first personal assistant: iPhone, Watch, Mac, CarPlay, travel search with booking links, PDF and voice, and a wide email-provider list. We are the public US and Canada number you can text today with 50 free messages, native Android SMS/RCS, any-topic briefs, Docs and Sheets on /connect, and clear $15 unlimited pricing.
This is not a ChatGPT comparison. That post is already written: Why Use AI Chat SMS When You Can Just Use ChatGPT?.
We already compared Instinct, Homer, Dunnit, Pally, Poke, Sidekicks, Martin, and TwoThumbs. Provider pages cover Sendblue and Twilio. Olly is the next Direct page.
What Olly says
From olly.bot: personal AI in iMessage. No downloads, no emails, no signups (as marketed). There is also a web app at app.olly.bot.
They market iPhone, Apple Watch, Mac, iPad, and CarPlay via Siri. Their FAQ says Olly is built for iMessage first. For Android and SMS, chat from any browser at app.olly.bot. We are not inventing full native Android SMS parity on their side.
Reminders and scheduled texts. Morning briefings and daily encouragement. Web-powered answers. Image generation. PDF and document summaries. Voice messages and photos. Travel search for flights and hotels with booking links. Their FAQ: you confirm the purchase yourself. They do not book for you.
Email assistant marketing lists Gmail, Outlook/Hotmail, iCloud Mail, Yahoo, AOL, Zoho, Fastmail, and most providers. Drafts and sends only when you approve. Homepage banner: connect calendar or email via the web app.
Pricing on the marketing pages we checked: free to start. Paid upgrade for heavier usage and stronger models. No public dollar amount on those pages. We will not invent a Pro price.
We are not going to publish any of their phone numbers. Link olly.bot. Keep the logo.
We are not inventing Docs or Sheets on their side. We are not claiming we book travel, outbound-call, or operate a computer.
