Call your pally

On Pally Max, your assistant has its own phone number. Dial it from the car and just talk.

Hands on the wheel, twenty minutes of drive, a day to organize. On Pally Max your assistant gets a dedicated phone number: call it, hear what actually matters, dictate replies, and approve each send by voice before it goes.

The routine

How it works

Pally Max gives your assistant a dedicated phone number saved right in its contact card. Call it whenever talking beats typing: on a drive, on a walk, or while your hands are busy. It answers as the same assistant from your texts, with the same memory and connected apps.

Ask out loud what you would normally text. Pally can read across the accounts you have connected and tell you what actually needs you: the email with a deadline, the meeting that moved, the person waiting on an answer. You get the short version, spoken, not a feed read aloud.

When something needs to go out, you approve it by voice. Pally reads back the exact message before sending a text, so 'send it' means the words you just heard. Anything bigger, like an errand or a piece of work, you can hand over on the call and pally carries it on after you hang up.

The call and the thread are one assistant. Ask on the call, and the confirmation or the finished work lands back in your texts. Follow up later by message and pally still has the context from the conversation you spoke.

Common questions

Which plan does this need?+

Calling your pally is part of Pally Max, which gives your assistant its own dedicated phone number. On other plans you talk to pally by text; on Max you can also just dial it.

Can pally send messages while we're on the call?+

Yes, with your voice as the approval. Pally reads back the exact wording of an outgoing text before it goes, and it only sends after you say yes. Nothing leaves your world from a call without that confirmation.

Does the call know what my texts know?+

Yes. It is the same assistant with the same memory and the same connected apps. A task you hand over on a call continues afterward, and the results arrive in your normal pally thread.
