Meet the New Ohai: The Household Manager Built for Your Family

A note from the Ohai team

Over the past few months, we've had hundreds of conversations with you.

Some of you jumped on calls with us. Some of you answered feedback forms. Some of you told us, very directly, what you loved and what could be better.

And a lot of you said the same thing: "I love the idea of Ohai… I just don't always know how to use it."

That one stuck with us. Because Ohai was never meant to feel like extra work to figure out. It's supposed to feel like something that just helps.

So we went back to the drawing board.

Why We Rebuilt Ohai

We didn't redesign Ohai to make it look better. We redesigned it to make it easier to use.

Some people couldn't feel the value fast enough and didn't have time to figure it out. That's on us. Ohai should reduce mental load, not add to it. The moment it feels like work, no amount of features matters.

So we asked ourselves a simple question: what would Ohai look like if it actually felt natural to use in a real household? Not just for one person managing everything, but for partners, kids, families, real life. That question led to everything we're about to roll out.

A More Intuitive AI Home Assistant

The new version of Ohai is simpler, clearer, and easier to move through.

• A homepage that shows you what matters right now
• Navigation that doesn't make you think twice
• A shared view of your household so everyone stays in sync

It should feel obvious what to do next. Because the best version of Ohai is one you don't have to think about.

Built for the Whole Household

One of the biggest shifts we made is who Ohai is really for.

Before, it often felt like it was built for one person managing everything behind the scenes. Now, it's built for everyone.

You'll see that in small ways and big ones.

Starting with someone new: O the octopus.

O is an octopus, and yes, there's a reason.

Because running a household can feel like you need eight hands just to hold it all together. Schedules, school emails, groceries, reminders. It's a lot.

O represents that reality. But also relief, because you don't have to carry it all anymore.

O can step in, help manage the moving pieces, and make it easier to share the load with the people around you.

You Helped Build This

A lot of what's coming next came directly from you.

You told us you wanted a faster way to talk to O, especially when your hands are full and your mind is racing. So we built voice-to-text.

You told us you repeat yourself too often so we built memory and chat instructions, so O can remember preferences, allergies, routines.

You told us it's hard to keep everyone aligned so we built shared calendars and household to-dos.

You told us you sometimes get stuck and aren't always sure what to do next on Ohai so we're building a live tutorial that helps in real time.

This isn't a list of features we dreamed up in a room. It's a reflection of what you asked for, and we're just getting started.

What's Coming Next for Ohai

Starting now, you'll see Ohai evolve week by week.

Not one big drop. A steady stream of improvements that make everyday life easier.

Here's a glimpse of what's rolling out:

• A new homepage that brings everything into one place
• Shared calendar views for the whole household
• To-dos that can actually be shared, assigned, and completed together
• Voice mode to save time when you're on the go
• Memory that makes O more personal to your family
• A live tutorial that helps when you need it
• Smart Ohai Sync (we're really excited about this one)
• And much more!

Some things will feel polished, some things will still be early. That's intentional.

This Is the Beginning, Not the Finish Line

What we're launching now is not a finished product. It's a better starting point. We want Ohai to grow with you, and be shaped by your feedback.

So you'll keep seeing changes. You'll keep seeing improvements. And you'll keep having a voice in what comes next.

Keep Building With Us

If you've shared feedback with us before, thank you. A lot of what's in Ohai now exists because you took the time.

If you haven't yet, we'd love to hear from you on:

• What's working
• What's confusing
• What you wish Ohai could do next

There are two ways to leave your feedback. Click on this link if you'd like to leave your feedback, or schedule a call with a member of our team here.

We're listening. And we're building fast.

This next version of Ohai is about one thing: helping your household run smoothly, without everything falling on one person.

We're excited for you to try it.
