Most AI assistants only chat. Ollie acts. One click connect; no dev setup to Gmail, Outlook, Slack, QuickBooks, Stripe, and many more. Then watch it actually get work done: sending emails, booking meetings, chasing invoices, answering finance questions straight from your real books. It runs locally on your machine, so your data and memory never leave your device. The more you use it, the sharper it gets.
@basil_yaqoob Ollie’s local-first approach really stands out, especially with QuickBooks and Stripe actions. I’ve upvoted it. How are you handling permission boundaries for actions like sending emails or booking meetings?
@spotch_founder Thanks, really appreciate that! QuickBooks and Stripe are read only today. Ollie can pull invoices, aged receivables, P&L, customer and charge data, but there are no write tools wired for either one, so there is nothing there for it to accidentally do. Stripe runs on a restricted key you generate yourself with read only permissions set in Stripe's own dashboard, so the boundary exists even before Ollie's own logic does.
Gmail, Outlook, and Slack are where actual writes happen, sending an email, drafting a reply, booking or updating a calendar event, posting a message. For every one of those, Ollie shows you the exact action and its arguments and waits for an explicit approval before anything executes. That gate is enforced at the tool level, not just prompted for in the model's instructions, so it cannot be talked around.
Nothing fires without you seeing it first, and the highest stakes surfaces, your books and your payments, cannot write at all yet.
How do you handle auth tokens and permissions, can I ensure Ollie reads only on certain accounts?
@amraniyasser Good question. OAuth tokens are stored encrypted in Ollie's own local database on your machine, never sent to any server we run, and refreshed automatically when they expire. On the read only point, QuickBooks and Stripe have no write tools built into Ollie at all today, so those connections are read only by construction, not by a setting you have to remember to toggle. Gmail, Outlook, and Slack do have write capability, and there is no blanket read only switch for those yet, but every single write action still requires your explicit approval before it runs, so in practice nothing writes without you seeing it first regardless of which account it touches.
