Olivia's First Commercial Series Goes Live. Yes, the Developer Screams.
Today we released our first commercial series into the wild. If you've seen it, you already know. A developer sits at his desk, discovers olivia, and lets out a scream that ends with a laptop getting smashed. Cut to white. "This developer just found out about olivia."
We know what you're thinking. And that's exactly why we made it.
The Reaction We Expected
The first instinct when people see our ad is the one that's been drilled into every headline for the past three years: AI is coming for your job. The developer screaming must be terrified. The laptop smashing must be rage.
We get it. That narrative exists because it sells. Fear is a headline machine. So let's talk about what's actually happening in this ad.
What the Scream Actually Is
Anyone who's spent a weekend debugging a webhook integration, or three days wiring up a chatbot that still can't handle edge cases, or six sprints building an internal tool that should have taken six hours knows this scream. It's the sound of a developer who just realised they've been doing it the hard way. For years.
That laptop is being destroyed because the past was unnecessarily painful. Olivia lets you build an AI agent in under three minutes. When you see that for the first time, after the months you've lost to boilerplate, to configuration hell, to yet another framework that promised simplicity and delivered documentation, yeah. You might want to throw something too.

Developers Deserve Better Tools
The demand for software has never been higher. The backlog at every company on earth has never been longer. The gap between what businesses need built and what engineering teams can deliver grows every single quarter. Developers are more needed than ever.
What olivia changes is the repetitive, low-leverage work that eats up 80% of a developer's week. The plumbing. The glue code. The integration spaghetti. The "I could build this in a weekend" projects that somehow take three months because enterprise requirements turn everything into quicksand.
When a developer discovers olivia, they get their time back. They get to say "that'll take an afternoon" to a product request that used to take six weeks. They get to work on the problems that actually require a human brain. The creative ones. The interesting ones. The ones they got into this industry to solve.
We Built This for Builders
Olivia was founded in 2019, back when artificial intelligence was still a whisper at the edge of possibility. We were among the first 60,000 companies with OpenAI API access. We've spent seven years in this space, and the one thing we know for certain is that the best AI tools make people more powerful.
Our platform exists because developers deserve better infrastructure. Because customer operations teams deserve agents that actually work. Because the 847 nodes in our network and the 86,000+ operators on the platform joined for one reason: they saw what was possible and wanted in.
So Yes, the Developer Screams
He screams because three minutes is faster than three months. He screams because the agent he just built actually works across WhatsApp, Telegram, email, and web, all without a single line of integration code. He screams because he's been in this industry long enough to know that this moment is rare.
And then he gets back to work. Better, faster, and with a lot less boilerplate.
That's what the ad is about. Liberation.
