  1. Privacy-focused AI assistant Ollie to shut down on November 6

    Ollie, a subscription-based privacy-focused AI assistant for families, will shut down on November 6, co-founder and CEO Bill Lennon said in a post on X. The app connected to email and calendars and supported appointment booking, meal planning and bill payments; customers are slated to receive data-export instructions and refunds. Lennon said competition from Muse, Instinct and others made it harder for Ollie to stand out, grow and raise the capital it needed.
