New Features & Enhancements, Upcoming Webinar, and The First-Time CEO Podcast Launch
Buckle up!
Hello Olympians!
I know, I know. Long time no see! We've been just working hard on business and life with our heads down. The good news is—we're back! And ready to share some major updates on our product development at Olympia and a special personal announcement from me, Victoria Loskutova, its CEO. Today’s newsletter covers our latest technology improvements, a special invitation (only if you read till the end!), and a brand-new initiative that I’m thrilled to introduce.
So What's Shakin'?
Next-Generation AI with OpenAI o3
We’ve integrated OpenAI o3 as our main conversation AI model. Simply put, o3 is smart, fast, and brings a whole new level of efficiency to our assistants. This upgrade means responses are quicker and your custom instructions are followed with greater precision. If you've ever wished Fila would adjust her markdown table formatting, now is the time to revisit and customize your preferences in the settings further—o3 makes that process smoother than ever.
Enhanced Memory Recall and Document Revision
Our revamped memory recall system now effortlessly sifts through all previous conversations, file uploads, documents, and observations. This means every piece of context is at our fingertips whenever you need it. Equally impressive is our enhanced document revision feature. Whether you ask Letitia or Calvin to tweak a long-form document or review a blog post, the turnaround is quicker and more accurate, allowing you to maintain the quality and consistency you expect.
Upgraded Image Generation with StableDiffusion Ultra
Visual storytelling just got a boost. We’ve upgraded our image generation capabilities to harness the latest StableDiffusion model—Ultra. This means you get prompt-adherent images with improved precision, especially for logos and overlaid titles on graphics. Your creative projects will now consistently reflect the exact details you envision.
New Frontiers in File Uploads and Parsing
We’re also making changes on the file upload front. With the acquisition of our previous partner, Carbon, by Perplexity, we're temporarily limiting uploads to local files only. However, this transition comes with a silver lining—a powerful new document parsing algorithm powered by LlamaParse. This shift means you can now upload a broader range of files, such as ebooks and image-rich PDFs, which were not supported previously. Our system is now even better at understanding diverse document types, further enhancing your workflow.
Revamped Web Search for Precise Information
Navigating the web just got simpler. Our upgraded web search function now delivers more reliable summaries and cited links, giving you direct access to the sources you trust. Whether you're conducting research or simply exploring new topics, expect faster, more accurate results at your fingertips.
Quality of Life and Performance Enhancements
Alongside these significant updates, we’ve implemented numerous quality-of-life improvements and performance enhancements. These subtle tweaks may go unnoticed, but they add up to a smoother, more intuitive overall user experience. Every enhancement is geared toward making your interactions with Olympia as seamless and efficient as possible.
Introducing The First-Time CEO Podcast and Newsletter
I’m also excited to announce a new initiative that I’ve been working on personally. While running Olympia as a first-time CEO of a tech startup during the past two years, I’ve got more questions than answers on running a company. As many of you know, the journey of leadership is both challenging and incredibly rewarding—especially for first-time CEOs. To support those embarking on this path and get the answers I seek from fellow new executives, I have launched The First-Time CEO podcast and newsletter.
This new series is designed to share insights, personal experiences, and practical advice for anyone stepping into a leadership role for the first time. The episodes and newsletters cover everything from navigating early career challenges to innovative strategies for business growth including my reflections and my podcast guests’ wisdom. Whether you’re just starting or looking to sharpen your leadership skills, I hope these resources empower you on your journey.
Here’s what I have for you so far:
An intro episode with my co-founder,
Episode #1 with Kirk Marple, the co-founder and CEO of Graphlit sharing his lessons and challenges during his transition from CTO to CEO
Episode #2, where Julia Arpag, the founder and CEO of Aligned Recruitment, shares how she built as a 7-figure business over 15 months after a sudden layoff
