Guides by audience

Pally for founders

Pally helps a busy founder keep up with inboxes, meetings, leads, and follow-ups by text. The guides below separate that personal assistant work from jobs that call for a team tool or a person.

It watches your email, Slack, and calendar, keeps a personal CRM of the people you work with, takes calls on a number you give out, and handles the next step when you say so. It works for you, not as a team tool with admin controls.

Pally is free, with almost unlimited usage limits. No app to install.

Ways to use Pally

Three ways to start.

Inbox, triaged

Ask what needs you. Pally reads the pile, flags the few, and handles the replies.

Pre-meeting briefs

Walk in knowing who's in the room, your history, and what's still open, without doing the homework.

Meeting memory

Every decision, owner, and open question from your meetings, remembered and answerable.

Start with your question

Practical guides.

How to reply to every lead within an hour when you are a one-person team

Pally texts you when a real lead lands in your email, Slack, or WhatsApp and drafts the reply. Add short templates and one follow-up queue you check daily.

How to run your day without an executive assistant

Let Pally text you a morning brief from your calendar, email, Slack, and WhatsApp, then keep a short priority list, batch messages, and close the day.

How to chase unpaid invoices without awkward emails

Use a dated reminder sequence that assumes oversight, restates the invoice facts, and gives the customer one clear way to resolve a problem.

How to prep for every meeting in five minutes

Pally can text you a brief before each meeting: the goal, who is attending, recent history, open commitments on both sides, and the decision you need.

How to keep up with Slack, email, and WhatsApp customers from one place

Connect Slack, email, and WhatsApp to Pally and it texts you the customer messages that need you, with a draft reply. Teams that share a queue need a CRM.

How to remember every promise you made on a call or in a chat

Pally pulls promises from your meeting notes, Slack, and texts into one list and reminds you. Capture owner, due date, and source before each chat ends.

How to get quotes from suppliers and contractors without a day of phone calls

Text Pally the job: it finds qualified suppliers, calls each with the same questions, and texts you every quote. Then compare them in one table.

How to track business expenses and receipts by text

Pally finds receipts in your email, forwards them to your bookkeeper, and files expenses when you say so. Add a business purpose and reconcile each week.

How to schedule a meeting over text without the back and forth

Text Pally who and how long: it checks your calendar, offers real openings with your time zone, and sends the invite once they choose. Or use a link.

How to follow up with leads consistently without a CRM

Pally keeps a personal CRM of your contacts, finds leads who owe you a reply, and drafts the next message. Or track leads in a small table you review daily.

How to keep customers updated on orders and shipments without doing it by hand

Send event-based order updates from verified system data, with clear expectations, working tracking links, and a human path for exceptions.

Executive assistant vs virtual assistant vs AI assistant: what a founder should hire

Hire an executive assistant for judgment, a virtual assistant for defined remote tasks, or use AI such as Pally, free in your texts, for repeatable work.

How much does an executive assistant cost, and when does AI make sense instead

A US executive assistant earns a $76,590 median wage before overhead. Pally, free in your texts, covers repeatable digital work; judgment needs a person.

Stay on top of everything.

Text Pally once. It tracks the details and gets the next thing done.
