Rolie — AI chat
Rolie is Rolo's AI interface. Instead of navigating to a specific page for every task, you can just tell Rolie what you want — and it will route your message to the right part of the product.
What Rolie is (and isn't)
Rolie is a conversational layer on top of your structured relationship data — not a general-purpose chatbot. It doesn't browse the web or make things up about your contacts. Everything it tells you is grounded in the notes, events, and profiles you've added to Rolo.
Think of Rolie as a smart assistant who has read everything in your Rolo and can help you work with it faster. It understands context from earlier in your conversation, so you can follow up with "and what about the other people at that event?" without repeating yourself.
Opening Rolie
The Rolie input bar is always visible at the bottom of the screen in the app shell. Click it or press the chat icon to open the full conversation view. You can also navigate to Conversation in the sidebar for the full-page view with your conversation thread history.
What you can ask Rolie
Rolie classifies your message into one of several intents and routes it accordingly:
Search your network
- →Who do I know at Google?
- →Find me a designer who works in fintech
- →Who should I reach out to about raising a seed round?
Rolie runs an AI search against your contacts and returns a ranked list with explanations. The results appear as contact cards you can click to open profiles.
Log a note
- →I just had coffee with Marcus — he's leaving Stripe, wants an intro to Benchmark
- →Met Sarah Kim at the YC demo day, she's at Sequoia doing Series A
- →Quick call with the team, pushed launch to Q3
Rolie classifies this as text intake, extracts the structured details, creates or updates profiles, and logs the interaction — all from a single message.
Look up a profile
- →Show me Sarah's profile
- →What do I know about Marcus?
- →Tell me about Alex from Stripe
Rolie surfaces the contact's key details, relationship summary, and last interaction. Tap their card to open the full profile.
Meeting prep
- →Prep me for my meeting with Sarah tomorrow
- →What should I know before my call with the Benchmark team?
- →Brief me on Marcus before I see him tonight
Rolie generates or retrieves the prep brief for the specified person or event, including talking points, relationship arc, and key context.
Draft a message
- →Draft a follow-up email to Marcus after our coffee
- →Write an intro request to Sarah from Alex
- →Help me draft a thank-you note to the Benchmark team
Rolie drafts a message grounded in your interaction history. The draft appears in a text box you can edit before copying or sending.
Conversation context
Rolie remembers up to the last six messages in your current conversation. This means you can have a natural back-and-forth without repeating context:
You: Who do I know in climate tech?
Rolie: You have 4 contacts in climate tech: Marcus (Stripe → climate startup), Jamie (Breakthrough Energy Ventures), …
You: What was my last conversation with Marcus?
Rolie: Your last note with Marcus was 3 weeks ago — you had coffee and he mentioned…
You: Draft a follow-up to him.
Rolie: Here's a draft follow-up to Marcus based on that conversation…
What Rolie won't do
Invent information about contacts — everything comes from your Rolo data.
Browse the internet or pull LinkedIn profiles without your explicit action.
Send messages on your behalf — drafts are always shown for your review first.
Permanently modify your data without confirmation (merges, deletes require a separate confirm step).
