Olly
Olly is a Chrome extension that writes AI comments, replies and posts across LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Reddit and 20+ networks, scores viral potential before you publish, and runs on its own models, on your API key, or locally.
What is Olly?
Olly is an AI assistant for social media engagement, published by AISOLO Technologies Private Limited, a company registered in Mumbai, India, whose founder is named on the site as Yash Thakker. It ships mainly as a Chrome extension installed from the Chrome Web Store, and appears as a sidebar on the right of the browser while you read a feed. A companion dashboard sits at app.olly.social, and a separate documentation site covers installation on Windows and Mac, each feature and the common errors.
Its purpose is narrow and practical: comment, reply, summarise and post faster without losing a consistent voice. From the sidebar you generate a comment on the post you are looking at, produce a reply, summarise a long thread, or ask for a virality score before publishing. An Auto Commenter then runs unattended at ten comments per ten minutes on LinkedIn, X, Instagram and Facebook, with an auto-like function alongside it. Olly announces coverage of more than twenty networks, among them LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit, YouTube, Threads, Quora, Product Hunt, Hacker News, Medium, Skool and Bluesky.
Model choice is one of its distinguishing traits. Two proprietary models, Olly Basic and Olly Pro, work out of the box, but you may also bring your own API key for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Straico or OpenRouter, or run an open model locally through Ollama. Usage is metered in Platform Credits: one credit per comment on the default model, two on Olly Pro, three per influencer search.
Around that core sit brand voice settings, AI Personalities, custom actions driven by your own prompts, keyword targeting, a content calendar, engagement goals and an analytics dashboard. Several of these are not finished: analytics and custom actions are described as beta, while post scheduling and influencer search appear as Coming Soon in the comparison table. Lifetime plans, once sold directly and through AppSumo, have been discontinued in favour of monthly subscriptions. The terms also mention an optional Olly Social API giving access to the proprietary models, for which no documentation is published anywhere on the site.

When to use Olly / When not to
A quick filter to help you decide if Olly is the right fit.
When to use Olly
- Social media managers who comment and reply daily across several networks and need to keep one consistent brand voice
- Solo consultants and small business owners who handle their own social presence and want a paid entry point under ten dollars a month
- Agencies managing multiple client accounts, who can add seats at ten dollars each and unlock white-label options on the higher tier
- Content creators and influencers who want to spot high-potential posts early using the virality score and the post summariser
- Technical users who already pay OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or OpenRouter directly, or who run Llama and Gemma locally through Ollama
When not to use Olly
- Anyone not working in Google Chrome on a desktop: the vendor states that other browsers may produce errors or limited functionality
- Mobile-first users, since the FAQ confirms there is no mobile application and the announced launch date on the mobile page has long passed
- Buyers who need a finished publishing suite: post scheduling and influencer search are still marked Coming Soon, analytics and custom actions are in beta
- European organisations with strict procurement rules, since the vendor states GDPR compliance is still in progress, hosts data in the United States and publishes no DPA
- Teams that need a predictable invoice, because platform credits and third-party model usage are billed separately and no refunds are offered
How to use Olly
A typical end-to-end flow, from setup to results.
- Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store listing linked on the home page
- Create an account and activate it, following the activation guide published on the site
- Follow the Windows or Mac installation page in the documentation if the setup misbehaves
- Choose a model: keep Olly Basic or Olly Pro, or connect your own provider key
- If you bring your own key, note that the provider bills you directly for what you consume
- Set a brand voice, and add AI personalities or custom actions if you want a specific tone
- Define keyword targets so the tool surfaces conversations relevant to your niche
- Browse a supported network: Olly opens in the right sidebar on the post you are viewing
- Generate a comment, reply, summary or virality score, and edit the text before posting
- Switch on the auto-commenter once the tone is right, and follow results in the dashboard
Pros & Cons
Pros
- A permanent free plan with no credit card, and a paid entry point at 9.99 USD per user per month
- Bring your own key removes the comment quota entirely, and local models via Ollama keep content off third-party clouds
- Broad network coverage, including Reddit, Quora, Hacker News, Medium and Skool that most named competitors do not touch
- A written commitment that customer content is never used to train the vendor's models
- Provider API keys are stored locally in the extension and, per the vendor, never reach its servers
- Self-contained user documentation covering installation, every feature and the common error codes
- A public affiliate programme with published figures, a status page and release notes
Cons
- Chrome on desktop only, with no mobile application despite a mobile page still announcing a 2024 launch
- Two contradictory price lists are served at the same time, one at 9.99 USD per user per month and one at 17 and 33 USD per month
- The free plan quota is given as twenty comments a day on the pricing card and five a day in the FAQ
- Total cost is hard to forecast: platform credits on one side, direct billing by model providers on the other
- No refunds of any kind, partial or full, according to the terms
- GDPR compliance is described as not yet achieved, data sits in the United States, and no DPA or Article 27 representative exists
- Every published contact address belongs to a different product's domain, and the grievance officer is listed as to be appointed
Pricing & Plans
A permanent free plan is available and requires no credit card. The lowest paid price currently displayed is 9.99 USD per user per month, which covers one user and one hundred LLM credits and is paid through Lemon Squeezy. A newer grid announced on the site quotes 17 USD per month for Basic and 33 USD per month for Pro, both billed annually at 204 and 396 USD respectively, with additional seats at 10 USD per month. Enterprise terms are quoted on request. Where an external model provider is used through your own key, that provider bills you separately.

Data, GDPR & hosting
A consolidated view of how Olly handles your data.
GDPR overview
The site addresses the GDPR explicitly, and what it says is a statement of partial compliance rather than a claim of compliance. Section 25.2 of the terms declares that the company is "actively working towards full compliance" and acknowledges that full compliance "is an ongoing process". Data subject rights are listed - access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, withdrawal of consent - with a thirty-day response commitment, though framed under GDPR "where applicable". The framework claimed throughout is Indian: the Information Technology Act 2000 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, with the courts of Mumbai and India's Data Protection Board as the stated recourse. No Article 27 EU representative and no data protection officer are named, no data processing agreement is published, and user data is hosted in the United States. The record is marked as not compliant on the vendor's own words.
Who owns the data?
The publisher, AISOLO Technologies Private Limited, is the controller. Its privacy policy states that customer data is not shared with anyone, including its own staff and development team, and that only ticket-related information circulates for support purposes. Generated comments, posts and summaries remain the user's material and are processed solely to deliver the service; the terms reserve the platform itself, its models and its interfaces to the company. Where you supply your own provider key, the key stays in the browser extension and the vendor states it has no access to it, nor to the content processed through it. Anything routed to an external model provider falls under that provider's own terms.
Reuse rights
Nothing in the terms restricts what a user may do with the comments, replies, posts or summaries produced through Olly: they are generated for the user's own publishing and no separate permission, attribution or licence request is required before reusing them. The company states it does not use that content, nor conversations or interaction data, to train its AI models, and that it is used only to deliver the service. Two limits are worth knowing. When an external provider is called with your own key, that provider's terms govern how the content is handled. And the platform itself, its proprietary models, its dashboard and its documentation remain the property of the publisher, so the licence covers your output, not the software behind it.
Data retention & training
Hosting summary
The vendor states in both the privacy policy and the terms that all user data is stored on servers located in the United States, encrypted in transit and at rest. No alternative region is offered and no data residency option is mentioned, so European or Indian storage cannot be requested. The company itself is registered in Mumbai and invokes Indian law throughout, which means an Indian controller operating on American infrastructure; no standard contractual clauses or transfer mechanism is described for that arrangement. The website is served behind Cloudflare, whose anycast address says nothing about where the data actually sits. Some data never leaves the user's machine: provider API keys supplied under the bring-your-own-key scheme, and the extension's local settings, are stored in the browser and remain there until the extension is removed or browser data is cleared.
Things to keep in mind
Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting Olly.
- The home page FAQ states that no personal data is collected and that everything stays on your device, while the privacy policy describes extensive collection, including tax and bank identifiers, and storage on servers in the United States
- Two contradictory price lists are online simultaneously, the free quota is given as both twenty and five comments a day, and three incompatible ratings are displayed on the same page
- Automated commenting and liking run on top of your own logged-in social sessions; the site never discusses whether this is compatible with those networks' own terms, and account restrictions are a real risk
- Retention is stated as thirty days in the text of the policy and the terms, but as forty-five days after account deletion in the policy's own table
- Every published contact address belongs to a different product's domain, and the grievance officer required by Indian law is listed as to be appointed, which weakens any complaint route
- Delegating routine engagement to a generator erodes the habit of reading before answering; comments can drift into plausible filler that readers eventually recognise as automated
- The domain registration expires in December 2026 and the terms mention an Olly Social API for which no documentation exists, both worth checking before any long commitment
Setup & Integrations
Technical difficulty
Low for the default path: install the extension from the Chrome Web Store, create an account, activate it, and the built-in models work immediately with no configuration. It rises a notch if you bring your own key, since you must create one at OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Straico or OpenRouter and paste it in. Running a local model through Ollama is the only genuinely technical route, and the terms make its setup the user's responsibility. Dedicated Windows and Mac installation pages and five documented error codes cover most of what goes wrong.

Should you pick Olly?
Olly is a real, working product rather than an announcement: the Chrome extension is published, the documentation stands on its own, checkout runs through Lemon Squeezy and the affiliate programme quotes actual figures. For someone who comments every day on LinkedIn or X and wants to keep one voice across accounts, the proposition is clear and the entry price is genuinely low. The ability to plug in your own provider key, or to run an open model locally through Ollama, is unusual at this price and removes the usual quota ceiling.
The reservations are about upkeep and paperwork rather than substance. Two price lists are live at the same time, the free plan quota is stated twice with different numbers, three incompatible satisfaction ratings appear on the same site, and a page still announces a mobile launch scheduled for December 2024. More seriously for a buyer, the home page FAQ claims that no personal data is collected and that everything stays on your device, while the privacy policy describes extensive collection and storage on servers in the United States. Anyone relying on that FAQ claim should read the policy instead.
European buyers should look closely before committing. The vendor states in writing that GDPR compliance is still in progress, no data processing agreement or Article 27 representative exists, the applicable law is Indian, and every published contact address belongs to a different product's domain. Add the absence of refunds and the fact that scheduling and influencer search are still unreleased, and the sensible approach is to try the free plan first, confirm the current price directly at checkout, and treat the published feature list as a mix of what is shipped and what is promised.
