So, today I am going to do a Olly review. This is a tool on AppSumo that, to be honest, I was very, very excited about. It is a social media tool. You know, we all need to engage on LinkedIn, on X, on Facebook to grow our brand. But it takes so much time to write all those comments. This tool, Olly, it says it can fix this with AI.
What is Olly?
Basically, Olly is an AI Agent that works as a Chrome extension. That is the main idea. It is not a full, big dashboard. It is a small assistant that follows you on social media. When you see a post, you can click the Olly button, and it will use AI to read the post and write a, you know, a natural, human-sounding comment for you. It is built to save you time on engagement.
How is it useful?
This is the most important part. The reason it is supposed to be useful is that it saves you so much time. Instead of, uh, you thinking and typing 100 comments a day, you can just click, let the AI write a draft, maybe you change one or two words, and you post. One user said it is “a significant time saving.” It helps you, you know, “amplify your social presence” by just being more active. You can even create different “brand voices” for your different accounts.
Features
Now, the features are, to be honest, very focused on this one job:
- AI Comment Generator: This is the number one feature. It reads the post and writes a comment for you.
- Multi-Platform: It works on LinkedIn, Facebook, X (Twitter), Instagram, and even YouTube.
- Custom Personas: You can create different brand voices.
- BYOK (Bring Your Own Key): This is very good. You can add your own API key from, you know, Straico or OpenRouter. So you are not stuck using their credits.
Conclusion
So, the final question. Is Olly worth it? Here is my honest answer. You must listen very, very carefully.
The idea of this tool is a 10/10. It solves a real problem.
BUT. This is very, very important. I looked at the Olly lifetime deal reviews and questions, and there are many, many big problems. First, many users say the tool is very “buggy.” It logs you out all the time. Second, the support seems to be “non-existent.” Users are waiting for weeks for a reply. And third, and this is the biggest problem, the “lifetime deal” credits are one-time only. They do not reload every month.
One user, uh, from February 2025, said they bought it and then found out they had to buy more credits every month. This is not a lifetime deal. This is, to be honest, a very bad dark pattern. So, my verdict is: the idea is great. But the deal is, I think, very misleading. And if the support is not there, it is a very, very high risk. You must be very careful with this one.
