For the Ollie community
You’re welcome here.
We’re sorry to see Ollie close. Their team helped make everyday life a little lighter for families, and we have a lot of respect for what they built.
If you’re looking for that kind of help again, we’d love to welcome you to Orbits. Bit is our household assistant, and you can bring some of what Ollie learned about you along.

Frequently asked questions
A few things you might be wondering
How do I get my Ollie export?
Ollie should send you an export of your data. If you haven’t received one, ask Ollie what it knows about you and copy its response into Bit.
Do I need to format the text first?
No special template or introduction is needed. Copy the information from Ollie and paste it into your personal chat with Bit in Orbits.
What does Bit remember, and who can see it?
Bit selects useful personal details, such as preferences, people, and routines. Imported context is saved to your private memory. You can review, edit, or remove it in What Bit knows in Settings. The import does not automatically share those memories with your household.
Will my reminders, events, and connected accounts transfer?
The context import does not recreate reminders, calendar events, or lists, or reconnect accounts. Connect your calendar and email in Orbits separately, and set up anything time-sensitive again.
Can I get help moving over?
Yes. Email the Orbits team at contact@tryorbits.com if you need a hand getting settled.
