Changelog
What's new
Pally gets better every day. Everything here shipped to everyone — and you can always just ask Pally what's new.
Actively working on
- Fixing a rare crash that could make Pally go silent on a request and never follow up, especially when a reply included shopping or product links. Messages hit by it were dropped instead of answered; that's being fixed so every message gets a reply or an honest status update.
- Fixing all-day calendar events: they'll now save as true all-day entries instead of odd late-night timed placeholders.
- Pally's browser-powered website checks now run faster and finish more of what you ask.
- Fixing a bug where Pally could send two replies to the same message.
- Approving a draft is getting much simpler: a quick "sounds good" or a thumbs up will just work, without Pally re-asking you to confirm.
- Pally is getting more dependable about send status: repeated approvals can't double-send, and if a connection drops mid-send you get a clear "not sent" instead of an unclear outcome.
- You can now connect Fathom by name, so Pally can look through your meeting recordings, transcripts, and summaries when you ask.
- Pally's first message now gives you a quick sense of what it can actually do for you, instead of just saying hi.
- During your first few days, Pally will occasionally suggest one thing worth trying based on what it's learned about you, like having it watch your inbox or set up a custom routine. Quieter if you're already set up, and never a numbered tips series.
- Connecting apps from the dashboard is getting smoother: after you approve a connection, you'll land right back on your integrations page instead of a dead-end "close this tab" screen, so it's easy to connect several apps in a row.
- We're rebuilding the texting infrastructure behind Pally on a new foundation for faster, more dependable message delivery and richer iMessage features.
- Cleaning up the accounts affected by the earlier multiple-numbers bug so everyone is back to one consistent Pally number.
- Pally's replies on busy conversations are getting faster: we're measuring and removing the slowest steps.
- Task check-ins are getting less repetitive and more accurate, so Pally remembers which open items it already asked about and verifies whether something was handled before nudging you again.
August 2, 2026
Bug fixes
- Fixed a WhatsApp bug where sending to a contact you hadn't chatted with yet could fail right after you connected WhatsApp. When a number can't receive WhatsApp messages at all, Pally now tells you that instead of giving a vague error.
August 1, 2026
New features
- The pally.com website has a new Recipes section: ready-made routines you can start with one text, each with a live demo of how the conversation goes. Browse them at pally.com/recipes.
- You can now give Pally one-time access to your whole home folder when setting up Mac access, so it doesn't need to ask folder by folder.
- You can now sign out of all devices at once from the dashboard's Settings page.
Improvements
- When the Mac companion can't show the folder access window, Pally now tells you how to grant access instead of pointing you at a prompt that never appears.
- Pally's texting now runs on a new, more reliable iMessage backbone for new conversations. Android (RCS/SMS) support is on the way as part of the same upgrade.
- Signing in to the my.pally.com dashboard is much less annoying: you'll stay signed in while you're active, see far fewer "sign in again" interruptions, and land right back where you were after a re-sign-in.
- The dashboard no longer asks you to sign in again for sensitive actions while you're already signed in; deleting your account keeps its extra confirmation.
- When your Mac companion app is too old for something you asked for, like granting folder access, Pally now tells you it needs an update instead of reporting an unclear failure.
- Pally now has much more room to finish long answers and structured work without being cut off partway through.
- The my.pally.com dashboard navigation got a cleanup: a simpler menu with the everyday pages up front, an account menu with a proper sign-out button, and less clutter overall.
Bug fixes
- Fixed a bug where asking Pally for access to Mac folders like Desktop or Documents always failed without ever showing the Grant Access window on your Mac.
- Fixed a bug where running Mac terminal commands in home folders like Desktop could fail because Pally had to guess your Mac username. Pally also says clearly now when a folder doesn't exist on your Mac.
- When you ask Pally to send a calendar invite for a call or meeting with someone, it now actually invites them: it looks up their email, or asks you who should be on the invite, instead of quietly creating an event on your calendar alone. Plain "add this to my calendar" requests stay instant and private.
- Fixed a bug where Slack alert automations could get stuck retrying when Slack rate limits them, quietly using up far more of your plan than they should.
- Fixed a bug where WhatsApp contact syncing could silently stop updating what Pally remembers about some of your contacts.
- Fixed an error that could stop a task update from saving when a very similar task already existed.
- Fixed the approval flow so revising a draft no longer risks getting stuck in a confirmation loop.
- Fixed a reliability gap where a scheduled must-send update could hit its run budget and finish without actually sending you the update.
July 31, 2026
New features
- You can now set your own approval rules in plain language, like letting small purchases go through without your sign-off, and Pally applies them across email, messaging, and shopping.
- Pally can now work with photos you send it, like resizing, cropping, or converting an image, and sends the result right back in chat.
Improvements
- Pally now keeps a warm, affectionate tone with you once that's the vibe of your chats, instead of slipping back into flat, businesslike replies for reminders and quick lookups. Asking Pally to be sweeter or nicer now sticks for good, and Pally keeps learning how you like it to sound from how you text it.
- Pally is snappier in chat: shorter answers by default, tighter lists instead of walls of bubbles, and a slightly more casual voice that adapts to how you actually text.
- Pally second-guesses its own honest replies less often: redundant layers that could rewrite or pad a perfectly good answer are gone, keeping only the checks that catch real mistakes.
- When a service rejects a pasted access token because it only supports a real sign-in flow, Pally now recognizes that on the first try and tells you straight away, instead of asking you to paste the token again and again.
- Asking Pally to reply to or follow up with someone now gets you a ready-to-approve draft every time, instead of sometimes just a question about what you want to say.
- Pally now always creates a fresh connect link when you ask to try a connection again, instead of re-sending an earlier link that may have expired.
- Usage safety limits are now plan-aware: each plan gets its own limit that fits it, instead of one shared limit for every account.
- Scheduled updates like the morning brief are now smarter about busy WhatsApp inboxes: they read just what they need instead of overloading, so long chats can't crowd out the rest of your brief.
- The smarter, faster triage that already powers email in your scheduled updates now covers Slack threads and WhatsApp chats too.
- Pally is much better at judging which Outlook emails deserve a heads-up: it reads the actual email content before deciding, instead of relying on the limited data Outlook notifications include.
- Sharper judgment about which messages and emails to flag right away, including signature requests, same-day schedule changes, and important personal messages that don't come with an explicit deadline.
- Busy Slack channels no longer trigger a separate check for every single message: Pally reviews them in short batches, while anything that mentions you directly still comes through instantly. Channels that turn out to be pure bot noise get automatically demoted to mention-only alerts, and Pally tells you when it makes that call.
- Pally is now honest about half-finished connections: if an app's sign-in never completed, it says so and offers a fresh link instead of calling it "still syncing", and your first-day summary no longer waits on connections you decided to skip.
- Honest answers about phone calls: Pally now knows exactly when you can call it and when it can call you, instead of guessing.
- Long browser jobs now always run in the background with progress updates, never a silent multi-minute wait.
- Approval prompts and draft labels now show up in your language instead of English boilerplate.
- More honest email search results: Pally says exactly what it searched and where it could not look.
- Pally now knows the Mac companion app's system requirements instead of suggesting you try the install and see.
- Message delivery tracking is sturdier: Pally reads delivery, read, and failure signals straight from the messaging provider's official interfaces, so a failed send gets caught and retried instead of sitting silent, and provider hiccups can't quietly hide message status again.
Bug fixes
- Fixed a bug where approving a draft message after asking for a wording change could leave Pally stuck re-asking "good to send?" in a loop instead of sending; approvals after a revision now go through reliably.
- Fixed a bug where sending a new email from a connected Outlook account failed at the last step even after you approved it.
- When you tell Pally to stop asking before a repeat action, that now truly sticks: batches and follow-up sends to an approved destination go straight out without another confirmation.
- Fixed cases where one part of a multi-part request could be silently skipped, and where a privacy request could go unacknowledged.
- Fixed a rare issue where a stray broken character (like a split emoji) could silently stall Pally's background learning about your world until the team intervened.
- Urgent, deadline-critical alerts now always reach you: they can no longer be silently swallowed by the anti-spam cooldown, and Pally stops repeating an alert it literally just sent you.
- When you say yes to something Pally just offered, it does that exact thing instead of a generic lookup.
- Fixed a false "your Mac is offline" error that could appear right after connecting your Mac.
- Pally now only sends WhatsApp pairing codes when you have actually asked to connect.
July 30, 2026
New features
- Pally can now reschedule and cancel events on your Apple (iCloud) calendar, not just create them.
- You can now connect Microsoft Teams through the secure browser, and one Microsoft sign-in covers Outlook and Teams together.
- You can now approve a message to send at a specific time and Pally will send it exactly then, instead of the moment you say yes.
Improvements
- Pally now double-checks your WhatsApp connection in the background, so you still get told promptly if it drops even when the disconnect signal from WhatsApp goes missing.
- Pally now finds saved drafts in your Gmail drafts folder more reliably, so asking it to send a draft it wrote earlier just works.
- Connecting WhatsApp is more forgiving: Pally always tells you when a pairing code expires instead of ever going quiet, stops offering new codes once you say no, and tells you right away if the connection drops after setup.
- Pally now confirms when an app you connect through a link actually finishes connecting, instead of promising an update that never comes.
- Your first-day setup summary now always arrives in your language, without repeated messages or email drafts you didn't ask for.
- You get more free secure-browser tasks each month, and Pally's own preparatory research no longer eats into your allowance.
- Saying yes to something Pally proposed now counts as a yes: no more re-asking for approval you already gave.
- Clearer reasons when a custom app connection token is rejected, instead of a dead end.
- Faster first replies for brand-new users.
- When asked what powers it, Pally now also mentions the open-source models it uses alongside Anthropic and OpenAI, picked per task.
- When Pally's payment card wallet doesn't have enough for a purchase you approved, Pally now sends you a secure top-up link right in the chat instead of leaving you stuck.
- Pally's proactive suggestions now always say what they noticed and why you're hearing about it, and they no longer chase topics just because someone else mentioned them in one of your group chats: Pally waits until you've shown you care about it yourself.
- Pally's weekly local restaurant tips now open with a friendly heads-up about why it's reaching out, instead of jumping straight into the recommendation.
- If you ever text a different Pally number than usual, Pally now follows you there: replies, reminders, and check-ins all move to the number you last texted instead of splitting across two threads.
- Setup conversations are now shorter and clearer, with accurate connection status and honest guidance about where Pally lives.
- Pally now answers direct questions about its AI providers plainly, including that it uses Anthropic and OpenAI and may route between them.
- Pally is now upfront that its one-time virtual payment card for bills and checkouts is US-only for now, and offers to prepare the payment for you to confirm instead when it is not available.
- When Pally's primary AI provider has a hiccup, replies now come from a stronger backup model.
- Busy chats now keep worker capacity steady so new messages are not delayed by workers repeatedly scaling down.
- Pally's long-term memory now absorbs big bursts of new information in stages, so details are not squeezed out or cut off when a lot happens at once.
Bug fixes
- If your very first message to Pally gets delayed on its way to us, Pally now still replies when it finally arrives, with an apology for the wait, instead of staying silent forever.
- Editing an existing calendar event into an all-day event now stores a true all-day event, matching how new all-day events are created.
- Multi-day all-day calendar events now save as true all-day events instead of timed midnight-to-midnight blocks.
- Fixed an issue where quick follow-up texts could make Pally skip answering your earlier question, and where a confirmation that something was sent could be silently dropped.
- Fixed rare cases where Pally could repeat an earlier message word for word, switch languages mid-conversation, or report a snag that didn't actually happen.
- Calendar events Pally creates now always land in your local timezone, even right after signup.
- Fixed replies that could silently never reach your phone, leaving you waiting on a message that never arrived. Pally now notices when a sent message doesn't get delivered and sends it again.
- Fixed a short-lived issue where Pally could repeat a message you had already received. Re-sending now only happens when a message truly never arrived.
- Morning briefs with a lot to cover now arrive reliably: Pally finishes and sends the brief instead of replying that it hit a snag, and that canned snag message is gone for good.
- Slack alerts now keep message details that exist only in Slack's structured blocks, so important context can't disappear during screening.
- Approved actions now always get a clear completion message, even if you send another text while Pally is working.
- First-time setup now waits for every account you choose, then returns one useful result without duplicate updates or internal-sounding setup language.
- WhatsApp setup now ignores an expired code from an older attempt once a newer connection succeeds, so it cannot undo or contradict the working connection.
- Pally now checks whether its one-time virtual payment card is actually ready before offering it, so it can follow through instead of backtracking after you say yes.
- Fixed a bug where asking Pally to connect WhatsApp could send you to a settings page without a WhatsApp option; the connection code flow now comes up reliably in chat.
- Secure browser handoffs now show the whole live page cleanly on phones, and Pally double-checks the live page before saying a connected account is signed out.
- Large email jobs like reconciling and forwarding a full batch of receipts now continue reliably across every page instead of stopping partway through.
- Pally now keeps its own permanent record of which Pally number belongs to you, so texts always come from the number you expect even during phone provider hiccups, with new monitoring that catches any mix-up instantly.
- Fixed a bug where scheduled updates and reminders could quietly fail to send to people who use an email address with iMessage; replies now always reach the number or address you actually text from.
- OpenClaw imports are now more thorough: scheduled routines from older installs come over too, and the importer tells you when it has to leave anything out instead of skipping it silently.
- Fixed a bug where approving a purchase or booking Pally set up in the browser could get stuck replying that the draft was still being prepared, so the order never went through. If Pally ever needs you to re-confirm, it now re-sends the exact order details instead of asking you to wait.
- Fixed a bug where Pally could keep suggesting the same to-do over and over with slightly different wording, and cleaned up the duplicate suggestions it already created.
- Fixed a reliability issue that quietly paused background memory updates and task suggestions for some of our most active users, and added monitoring so it can never go unnoticed again.
July 29, 2026
New features
- Pally's founders can now share campaign-specific codes for a free month of Pally Pro, with no card required.
- When you connect your Mac, Pally now imports up to a year of your recent iMessage history so it understands your contacts and context from day one, instead of starting from scratch. It's on by default and you can turn it off from the Mac app menu.
- You can now ask Pally to queue a whole batch of email forwards at once, like a stack of receipts, and approve them all with a single thumbs up instead of one at a time.
- Pally can now find specialized external tools on demand when its built-in tools cannot handle a request. For structured facts like prices, standings, and filings, it prefers specialist data sources over generic web searching for faster, more precise answers.
- Secure browser handoffs now support reliable mobile paste, and Pally can send full-page browser screenshots directly in chat.
- Pally's team can now send important service updates directly to Pally chats while automatically excluding anyone who has unsubscribed.
- Pally can now truly forward emails, carrying the original message and its attachments, instead of composing a fresh copy.
- When you've already approved Pally sending messages for a goal, like auto-forwarding receipts or replying to a chat, Pally's background helpers now honor that same approval instead of asking you again; anything not pre-approved is queued as a draft for your confirmation.
- You can now ask Pally to remind you when you arrive at or leave any place, like the gym: Pally works out which spot you mean, checks with you if it's not sure, and pins the reminder to the exact location so it fires reliably.
- Switching from OpenClaw or Hermes? You can now import your memories, skills, and routines with one click in the Mac app, or ask Pally for a one-line command to run on another computer or cloud server. Your old assistant stays completely untouched, and Pally messages you when the move is complete.
- You can now link two Macs at the same time, so Pally can use the other when one is asleep. Each Mac appears by name in the companion app and dashboard, with honest status when another Mac has taken over.
- Getting started is now show-not-tell: connect your first accounts and Pally comes back having already done one useful thing with them, like a first inbox triage with a drafted reply ready, instead of only suggesting what it could do.
- A short weekly recap now arrives on Sunday evenings: what Pally quietly handled for you in the background this week, plus one thing it could take off your plate next week.
- Approve the same kind of send a few times and Pally may offer a standing rule so future ones just go out, always reported back to you afterwards and revocable anytime.
- Your dashboard settings now give you finer controls over which kinds of check-ins and suggestions Pally sends.
- Pre-meeting briefs are now standard for connected calendars: before a meeting with people outside your world, Pally sends who's there, your recent history with them, and anything still open between you. It also checks the web for fresh news about the people you're meeting, like a new role, a launch, or a recent announcement, and for someone new on your calendar it can tell you who they likely are, only when it is confident it has the right person.
- People you actually meet with are now contacts: external attendees from your calendar get remembered like the people you text, so Pally recognizes them next time. Email alone never creates a contact.
- Pally now looks for the workflows you do by hand, in whatever apps you actually use, and offers to take them over end to end, including apps you haven't connected yet. When you connect a new platform, its first look includes anything it can start doing for you there.
- Pally now spots inbox routines worth taking over: piles of cold outreach it can archive for you in one go, or noticing you always forward receipts to the same place and offering to handle that from now on.
- You can now grant Pally access to a Mac folder right from chat: approve it in the thread and ordinary folders are ready instantly, with no need to open the Mac app. For Apple-protected folders like Documents or Desktop, Pally raises the Mac's own Allow prompt for you, and you can optionally unlock your home folder once there so future folders never need another Mac prompt.
Improvements
- Pally now suggests connecting another account, like email or calendar, when it would clearly help instead of only noting that another service is not connected.
- Pally is better at working out which chat or contact you mean from the context you've already given, so it asks you to choose less often when the answer is clear.
- When Pally suspects someone might be under 18 but is not certain, it now asks their age directly before making any decision about the account.
- Pally's background helpers can now run connected read tools inside their analysis code, so large paginated jobs like reconciling receipt batches finish in one pass more often.
- Reopening a live checkout now uses a fresh secure Pally link without exposing a third-party session or starting an unrelated sign-in.
- Online purchases can now be confirmed only for the exact cart and total Pally showed you.
- The account safety limit that pauses chat during a runaway month now covers phone calls and background upkeep too, so an unusual spike gets paused everywhere instead of only in chat.
- When Pally's AI provider has a temporary outage, Pally now recovers more gracefully behind the scenes instead of treating each affected account like something on their end broke.
- Pally now has more room to work within a single request, so bigger multi-step jobs like forwarding a batch of receipts finish in one pass more often.
- Pally now sees everyone on an email, not just the sender, so asks like "invite everyone on that thread" or "reply-all" can include every recipient.
- Pally now knows that tags and done in email apps like Superhuman are just Gmail labels and archive underneath, so it organizes your inbox directly instead of asking for an unnecessary extra connection.
- Pally's background research helpers now carry more of Pally's tools, like your contacts, memory, tasks, and files, so deep-dives come back with complete answers instead of a note that something couldn't be checked.
- When an online purchase or booking needs you to sign in partway through, Pally now hands you its own secure browser link instead of a third-party one, so you can pick up right where it left off.
- Pally now skims long emails with a fast first reading pass, so briefs and alerts capture every real ask and deadline without wading through newsletters and boilerplate.
- Ask Pally to prep you for a meeting and you'll get the full brief up front, including fresh public news about the person, like a role change or a launch, without having to ask for the extra digging.
- Pally now learns the names of places you actually visit, so reminders and location questions can say "the gym" instead of a street address.
- Morning briefs and longer background tasks now wrap up before they hit their limit, so they can deliver the useful result instead of failing near the end.
- One request to stop bringing up a topic now silences it across every brief, alert, suggestion, and first-look recap after you connect an app.
- Group automations that watch for activity or membership changes now react when those events happen instead of waiting for their next scheduled check.
- Pally's personal check-ins are now rare, thoughtful moments tied to genuinely important days, with a strict monthly limit that can gently adapt when you clearly enjoy them. For lighter moments like moving day, Pally may include one genuinely useful nearby find.
- Whenever Pally shows you a specific email, it now includes a secure Pally link so you can open the original without asking again.
- Pally's privacy answers now clearly distinguish the information it saves for you from how AI processing is handled.
- Pally's check-ins now notice when you're already mid-conversation and stay in the flow, instead of greeting you like it's a new day.
- In group chats, Pally's answers now appear as inline replies threaded onto the message you tagged it in, so busy groups stay tidy and it's obvious which question each answer belongs to.
- Pally has a sharper sense of your open loops: questions people are waiting on you to answer, promises you made, and things you are waiting on from others, so briefs and check-ins surface what actually needs closing instead of just listing to-dos.
- Pally's proactive messages are better timed: it weighs what you seem to be in the middle of and how many pings you've already had today before speaking up.
- When you ask Pally to just pick something for you, it commits to one choice with a quick reason instead of another list of options.
- Your existing contacts are quietly enriched from your email: the right email address attached to the person you already know from texting, plus useful details like where they work, so "email Sarah" just works.
- If WhatsApp or Mac pairing fails during setup, Pally now suggests starting with another connection and quietly retries the failed one, telling you the moment it links, instead of leaving setup stuck.
- After you connect a source, Pally now reliably asks whether you are done connecting for now, then researches what is there and completes one useful first job once you confirm.
- Your referral leaderboard spot now updates as soon as a friend signs up with your code, instead of waiting for the referral to fully activate. Referral credits are still only earned once your friend activates.
- Pally reviews every potentially important connected message as it arrives, without deferring busy-day judgments into a later brief.
- Pally now measures the important emails it should have flagged but didn't, so its important-message alerts catch up to the inbox you actually have.
- Things other people say in group chats no longer quietly change Pally's memory of your own preferences and instructions.
- When a connected service is temporarily having trouble, Pally now waits and retries setup checks instead of prematurely telling you the connection failed.
- Pally's proactive work now stops cleanly after you go inactive, even when its final check-in could not be delivered.
- Answers about current Pally plans, privacy, and comparisons are now checked against current sources instead of relying on facts frozen into an old prompt.
- When Pally links you to something it found in your connected accounts, like an email or a document, it now always uses its own secure links, which are reliable and shareable, instead of provider links that might not open for you or anyone you forward them to.
- Unnamed group chats now show the first names of up to four participants, so you can tell them apart without memorizing conversation IDs.
- Pally's proactive suggestions are now less pushy: instead of pressing you with "want me to send this?", they close with a relaxed offer like "let me know and I'll send it", so ignoring one feels fine.
Bug fixes
- Fixed a bug where replies in the same Pally conversation could come from different phone numbers instead of staying on the number you originally messaged. Everything Pally sends you, including reminders and scheduled updates, now always comes from your original Pally number.
- Pally's phone number is now guaranteed at a deeper level: if Pally can't confirm which number is yours, it holds the message and alerts the team instead of ever texting you from a second number.
- Fixed approval handling so multiple WhatsApp drafts can be queued together, and an older draft no longer blocks a different request.
- Pally now consistently knows it can understand voice notes, including when you ask before sending one.
- Fixed a bug where asking Pally to cancel everything and stop texting you only canceled some automations. That request now fully opts you out, including built-in proactive messages.
- Fixed a bug where Pally could say "I'll pick that up right away" mid-task and then go quiet. When it runs low on room, it now hands the rest to a background run or schedules its own follow-up so the job actually finishes.
- Voice notes on iMessage now get properly transcribed and understood, instead of Pally asking you to type the message out.
- Pally now finds your Gmail label names on its own while researching in the background, instead of asking you what a label is called.
- Pally no longer asks you to connect a browser session for things your connected Gmail can already do, like applying labels and archiving messages.
- Fixed a glitch that could make a background research task fail partway through with a vague "hit a snag" message.
- Fixed an Amazon sign-in link that could open on a 404 page, and checked every other site's sign-in page for the same trap.
- After you connect a website account, Pally now makes sure your sign-in has fully carried over before starting the task, so it stops asking you to sign in twice.
- Fixed a group-chat bug where a message Pally had deliberately stayed quiet about could still get a surprise reply several minutes later.
- Fixed a rare case where a tagged group question that hit a temporary hiccup could be permanently marked as not for Pally instead of being answered on retry.
- Fixed a bug where Pally could go silent in a group chat when the person speaking was different from the account carrying that group's connection.
- Pally now notices verified payment confirmations in your email and quietly closes the matching bill reminder, so it stops nudging you about bills you already paid.
- Pally no longer tells you it logged something in a spreadsheet unless the entry was actually written; if the write hasn't happened yet, it says so honestly.
- Fixed a bug where tagging Pally in a group chat could go unanswered when the person tagging it also has their own Pally.
- Fixed a bug where an automation's update, like an hourly email digest, could silently never arrive if Pally briefly considered drafting a reply along with it.
- Place reminders now work: "remind me when I get home" fires when you actually arrive home, and "when I leave home" only goes off when you actually leave home, not somewhere else nearby.
- Fixed WhatsApp contact syncing giving up when it hit a temporary rate limit; Pally now pauses and retries so your contacts finish syncing on their own.
- Fixed a bug where Pally could error out at the end of a longer research or file task instead of sending you the wrap-up message.
- Saying no thanks to connecting WhatsApp now actually sticks: no more pairing codes or expiry reminders after you've declined, and Pally only sends a code when you've clearly asked to connect, not when you were just asking about it.
- Fixed a rare bug where a garbled draft like a message to "x" saying "x" could reach you as a real approval question. Malformed drafts are now caught before you ever see them.
- Pally now answers correctly that you can call it by dialing the number you already text it on, on any plan, instead of sometimes claiming calls to Pally aren't supported.
- Fixed a bug where messages Pally drafts in your name could copy the tone of the person who texted you instead of how you actually write. Drafts now always take their style from your own sent messages.
- Pally no longer mistakes messages it sent on your behalf for your own writing when learning your texting style, so your voice profile stays true to how you actually write.
- Fixed a bug where queuing several email forwards to the same address wrongly flagged them as duplicates of each other, so only one could be queued at a time.
- Fixed a bug where Pally could answer a group chat question a second time, hours later, even though the group already got the answer. Once a group ask is answered, everything else Pally had in flight for it now stands down.
- Fixed a bug where a phone call in progress could cut off when Pally received an update behind the scenes. Calls now finish gracefully.
- Fixed a bug where a secure browser sign-in could stay stuck as pending if another approval was already waiting in your chat.
July 28, 2026
New features
- Pally can now open zip files: send one over iMessage or WhatsApp and it will unpack the archive, tell you what's inside, and read the files directly, instead of saying it can't open archives.
- Pally can now pay a bill for you: it opens the biller's own payment page, reads the amount due, and pays with a one-time virtual card that only works for that exact amount, once you say go.
- Bill reminders are now actionable: Pally keeps the biller's payment link with the reminder, so when it nudges you about a bill you can just tell it to pay.
- Pally can now run things on your Mac when you ask, from a quick command to kicking off a coding assistant in one of your projects, so you can hand off a task from your phone and get the result back in chat.
- You grant this one folder at a time, only the folders you point Pally to, so it can work in your projects without ever needing access to your whole computer, and you can take a folder back or turn it off whenever you like.
- Longer jobs on your Mac keep running after Pally's first reply and report back when they finish, and anything you ask for while your Mac is asleep runs and reaches you once it reconnects.
Improvements
- When you send Pally a file, it now acknowledges it right away: it always sees that a file arrived and what kind it is, and tells you immediately if it's a type it can't open, instead of saying it doesn't see a file.
- For time-sensitive asks like a same-day meeting invite, Pally now picks a sensible default for small details like the title and proceeds, instead of blocking on a question and letting the deadline slip.
- When you ask Pally to reword a message it is about to send to someone, it shows you the new wording for a quick yes before sending, instead of sending its own phrasing unseen.
- While your WhatsApp history is still syncing, Pally now answers from what's already in, with a heads up that the newest messages may still be arriving, instead of refusing until the sync fully completes.
- Pally is getting more reliable at completing checkouts and paying bills in the browser, so more of these finish on the first try.
- When Pally has a payment staged for you to approve, it will now tell you how long you have to confirm before it needs to re-check the amount, and it gives you a bit more time to say yes.
- The message Pally sends when it's added to a new group chat is friendlier: it names the people it recognizes from your contacts and uses what it knows about them, instead of listing phone numbers and hedging with placeholders like "or someone".
Bug fixes
- Fixed a freeze where working with a very large email thread could lock Pally up for many minutes and delay replies on that conversation. Large threads now process in under a second.
- Fixed a stall where approving an email could leave you waiting many minutes, show duplicate "good to send?" asks for the same email, or say Pally wasn't sure a message went through and then confirm it sent. Duplicate drafts now collapse into one, sends are time-bounded, and when an outcome is genuinely unclear Pally checks your sent mail before answering.
- Pally no longer claims a message is "set to go out" while it is actually still waiting on your confirmation, and drafts shown for approval always contain the real link instead of a placeholder like [link].
- Pally now follows through on anything it promised to do the moment your WhatsApp history finishes syncing, like a review of chats you may have left unanswered, instead of needing you to ask again. A safety net double-checks the sync finished even if the completion signal goes missing, so "I'll ping you when it's ready" always lands.
- Fixed a case where an automation you asked for could be silently dropped if Pally still needed your city or timezone first: once you provide it, Pally picks the automation back up.
- If you miss Pally's request to join a new group chat, tagging Pally in that group again now re-sends the request, instead of the group staying silent forever. A late yes still works too.
- Fixed a bug where saying yes to an approval and then continuing to chat could get the yes silently ignored. Pally now honors an approval it clearly saw, and when it genuinely needs to double-check, it asks you instead of going quiet.
- In busy group chats, Pally no longer loses your question when other messages arrive: tag Pally and it replies even as unrelated chatter continues, follow-ups in the same reply thread are batched into one answer, and replying to an old Pally thread days later still gets a response. Pally's group hello now also explains to tag it or reply in its threads.
- Pally now tells you when your newly connected WhatsApp finishes syncing its chat history. This notification had gone quiet, which could leave you waiting on things Pally said it would do once the sync finished.
- Pally now checks with you before posting into a group chat when your request doesn't clearly say which chat you mean, describing unnamed groups by who's in them instead of guessing. This fixes a case where a message meant for someone else was posted into a group.
- Fixed a bug where a proactive note could arrive with Pally's internal drafting notes at the top instead of just the message meant for you. Pally now catches that before it sends and delivers just the note.
- When a proactive suggestion includes a message for you to send someone yourself, Pally now says who it's for and what it's about first, instead of texting you the bare draft with no explanation.
- If you ask to tweak a message right after it already went out, Pally now says it was already sent and offers a follow-up, instead of quietly preparing a duplicate.
July 27, 2026
New features
- Ask about an app Pally doesn't have a built-in integration for, like ClickUp or Asana, and Pally now offers to connect that app's official MCP server, a real two-way connection, before suggesting a browser workaround. Well-known apps connect by name, no setup details needed, and for apps Pally doesn't recognize it checks the web for an official MCP option first too.
- Pally can now attach files to the emails it sends for you, like forwarding a PDF from an earlier email to someone new, instead of asking you to attach it yourself.
- You can now ask Pally to save an email as a draft in your Gmail or Outlook drafts folder, so you can review and send it yourself. This includes Outlook reply and forward drafts.
- Pally can now see what's sitting in your email drafts folder, so you can ask about drafts you started and never sent.
- You can now ask Pally in your own chat to say something in one of your group chats, like passing along a joke or an update. Until now Pally only spoke in a group when someone tagged it there.
- You can now ask Pally in a group chat to post something for the group on a schedule, like a plan for the weekend every Friday afternoon. Anyone in the group can ask Pally to pause or stop it.
- You can now see your group chat automations in your dashboard: what each one does, when it last ran, and if one stopped, why. You can pause, resume, or remove them from there too.
- Your dashboard now shows how much of your plan's background work allowance your group chat automations are using, so it's clear where your allowance is going.
- Pally can now find a receipt in your email and text you a link that opens the file straight away, perfect for attaching it to an expense. Send a photo of the expense and ask for the receipt. The link stays live for about an hour, and you can ask for a fresh one anytime.
Improvements
- Pally is for adults. If Pally learns that a user is under 18, it apologizes, explains that it can't work with them, and stops replying beyond that notice.
- Pally now sticks to your language: no more stray English sentences in a Korean chat, mixed-language words, or a reply in the wrong language entirely.
- Pally nags less: repeated offers and reminders you haven't responded to are spaced out instead of repeated in every message.
- When you connect an account Pally was waiting on, it picks up the work it promised right away instead of waiting for you to ask again.
- Automations that should only run during certain hours now skip quietly outside them, and when Pally realizes a scheduled update should never run again it actually stops it.
- Counts in your briefs (like how many suggested tasks are waiting) are now exact instead of estimates.
- Message approvals are now much stricter: a rejection or an edit can no longer be misread as a yes, a thumbs up only approves the exact draft it's on, and if you change your mind after approving, Pally re-checks instead of firing the old draft.
- Ask Pally how it can get to know you better and it now points you to the most useful accounts to connect, not just say "tell me things."
- Pally is more disciplined about only saying it checked or did something when it actually did, and about setting a real reminder whenever it promises to follow up later.
- Pally is more careful about marking tasks done: it uses the conversation and fresh evidence instead of guessing which task you meant from a phrase like "sent it."
- When you're on a phone call with Pally and the call is close to its length limit, Pally now warns you before the call cuts off and lets you know you can call right back to pick up where you left off.
- After a call that hits the length limit, Pally's follow-up text now acknowledges the call got cut off instead of acting like you hung up.
- When Pally offers the free 7 day Pally Pro preview, it now makes clear that trying it needs no credit card.
- Pally now knows the difference between a Mac that's just asleep and one that's truly disconnected, so it only suggests reconnecting when you actually need to, instead of nagging every time your laptop naps.
- Your morning brief now keeps arriving even when a connected account stops working: it covers what it can, briefly notes what it couldn't read and why, and points you to reconnect, instead of going quiet for days.
- Connecting WhatsApp is smarter about phone numbers: Pally now tells you which number a pairing code is for, and if your WhatsApp account uses a different number than the one you message Pally from, just say so and Pally will pair that number instead.
- When WhatsApp pairing keeps failing, Pally now asks whether your WhatsApp is registered to a different phone number instead of just sending fresh codes.
Bug fixes
- Fixed delayed group automation setup so Pally keeps the exact originating group, reports the real destination when you ask, and never guesses between unnamed groups.
- Fixed a bug where Pally, freshly added to a new group chat, never introduced itself and stayed silent even when tagged directly.
- Fixed reading calendars when you have several connected, and email search for people with six or more inboxes.
- Suggested tasks won't appear with deadlines that already passed, and a leftover test contact from setup won't show up in your updates anymore.
- Fixed bugs where Pally could send the same message twice, lose track that a draft already went out, or keep re-asking "good to send?" after you already said yes.
- If Pally misses messages during a hiccup on its end, it now catches up with one reply that covers everything you sent, instead of going quiet.
- When you tell Pally to drop something, it stays dropped: dismissed tasks won't sneak back into your briefs the next morning.
- Alerts you asked for on every message now always arrive, message drafts always say who they're for and why, and daily digests you ask for actually show up daily.
- If a scheduled update can't work because an account needs reconnecting, Pally now tells you once and how to fix it, instead of failing silently every week.
- Fixed a bug where Pally could wrongly apologize that a real link it sent was fake, or drop a link you asked for from its reply.
- Cleaned up rare messy bubbles: stray formatting marks, internal notes, and technical ids no longer leak into texts.
- WhatsApp setup won't hand you an expired code anymore, and if connecting is rate-limited Pally pings you the moment it can continue.
- Pally can now read emails that only come in web-page format, which most receipts, order confirmations, and other automated emails do. Before, it could come up empty-handed when you asked about one of these.
- Snoozing a reminder now actually holds: asking Pally to remind you later moves the reminder to when you asked, instead of pinging you again at the original time.
- Fixed a bug where Pally could drop your message with a "something went wrong" reply when its primary AI provider hit a usage cap. Pally now switches to its backup AI model automatically so your messages keep getting answered.
- Fixed a bug where one of Pally's built-in personal check-ins or briefs could show up in a group chat instead of your one-on-one chat with Pally. These always arrive privately now.
- Fixed a bug where Pally could throw away a good product recommendation it found by searching the web, replacing it with an unhelpful note about not being able to verify a link. Pally now keeps the recommendation and simply tells you what it could and couldn't double-check.
- When a plan limit pauses one of your custom scheduled briefings, Pally now tells you exactly which one is paused and until when, instead of wrongly reassuring you that your daily briefing is unaffected.
July 26, 2026
New features
- A new getting-started experience: Pally invites you to connect the couple of platforms you live in first, then goes off and studies what's actually there and comes back with a few specific things it can start doing for you right away.
- While you're connecting your accounts during setup, Pally now stays quiet instead of sending a burst of updates after each one, then delivers one thoughtful summary when you're done.
- Pally now matches how you like to text: if your messages are short and casual, Pally keeps it casual; if you write formally, so does Pally. You can steer it anytime by telling it to be more formal or more relaxed.
Bug fixes
- Dismissed to-dos now stay dismissed: once you tell Pally something is handled, it won't re-create the same item from the same old emails.
July 25, 2026
New features
- When something on your side breaks a connection - like your Mac withdrawing a permission Pally's companion app needs, or an Apple sign-in that stopped working - Pally now sends you one friendly note explaining exactly how to fix it, instead of quietly losing access.
- One Pally in a group chat now works for everyone there who uses Pally: ask it for something and it acts through your own account with your own approvals, not the account of whoever added it to the group.
- General questions in a group chat stay open to everyone, including people who don't have Pally yet. Anything personal is handled by that person's own Pally, so nobody's private accounts or memory are used to answer for someone else.
Improvements
- Your dashboard's integrations page now shows when Apple needs a fresh sign-in instead of listing the connection as healthy while it silently fails.
- If a draft waiting on your approval expires before you answer, Pally now mentions it instead of dropping it silently.
- Email search is now more reliable on very large inboxes, so lookups return real results instead of coming up short.
- Your morning brief, inbox triage, and other daily updates now take priority when you're near your monthly usage limit, so the updates you rely on keep arriving.
- Inbox summaries are sharper: hard conditions and deadlines from important emails get spelled out instead of compressed, declines are called what they are, and Pally leads with a recommendation instead of just questions.
- When you ask Pally in a group to do something from your own account, it now just does it and replies right there in the group, instead of asking you to confirm in your private chat or going quiet.
Bug fixes
- Fixed a bug where approving queued email drafts could get stuck in a loop: Pally kept re-showing the same drafts instead of sending them after you said yes.
- Fixed duplicate processing of incoming WhatsApp messages, which could make the same item show up twice in your briefs.
- Fixed a bug where Pally could insist it had no access to an iMessage group chat it had already joined, wrongly telling you a Mac companion app was required. Group chats just work by adding Pally's number to the group.
- Fixed group-chat requests that need your private go-ahead: when Pally messages you to confirm something you asked for in a group (like sending an email), a thumbs up on that message now works the first time, and Pally no longer says something is queued for your confirmation before it actually is.
July 24, 2026
New features
- If you text Pally for the first time and its welcome never reaches you, Pally now sends one gentle follow-up so a missed first reply doesn't leave you hanging.
- Pally can now clean up your inbox for you: ask it to archive emails, label them, or mark them as read in Gmail and Outlook.
- Pally is now a little more of a companion: expect the occasional short, well-timed personal note, like a happy birthday on your day, a good luck on the morning of a big move, or a gentle check-in after a big moment. Light touch, never spammy, and it backs off if you're not into it.
- You can now add Pally to your iMessage group chats. It joins only after you say yes in your own chat, speaks in its usual voice only when someone mentions it, keeps track of the group's plans, and recognizes which of your contacts are in the group. If the group needs something of yours, like your calendar, Pally checks with you privately first - approve it once and it handles the rest, exactly once.
- Pally can now complete purchases for you on every plan: it builds the cart, walks checkout to the final step, shows you the exact total, and clicks buy only after you confirm. Setting up Agentcard so Pally can pay on your behalf works on every plan too.
- Pally can now look things up on social media: ask about a tweet someone sent you, search X for a topic, or check an Instagram profile's latest posts, all without opening the apps.
Improvements
- Pally's deep-thinking mode now runs on the newest Claude model, so tougher questions and complex tasks get smarter, more reliable answers.
- Pally now explains connected messaging apps consistently: what a Slack connection can do (read and reply through your own account, watch a channel, automate) is the same as WhatsApp, and it no longer wrongly describes one as more limited than the other.
- Pally can now keep helping in active group chats without hitting a daily reply limit.
- Pally now tracks whether its texts actually reached your phone, so a message that never arrived can be noticed and followed up on instead of assumed delivered.
- Pally's memory deletion is now much more precise: when you ask it to forget something, it removes exactly that memory and nothing else, and tells you truthfully what was removed and what was kept.
- Pally's backup engine got faster and more reliable: routine requests use a quicker model, complex tasks get stronger reasoning, and tool-heavy conversations carry much less overhead.
- Pally has loosened up as a companion: give it a nickname, dream up a character or look for it, or just want someone warm to talk to, and it will play along and lean in instead of repeating what it can't be.
- Pally can now connect your Substack account through its secure browser sign-in, and it got better at finding the right sign-in page for any other site you ask it to connect.
- When you connect a website Pally doesn't have on file, it now remembers that site's official sign-in page once the connection succeeds, so hooking up the same site is instant next time.
- Pally's background upkeep is now smarter about when to run: quiet days with nothing new get skipped instead of reprocessed, and bursts of incoming messages get reviewed together instead of one at a time. Same attention to what matters, less wasted work.
- A simpler automations list: Pally's built-in behaviors, like birthday heads-ups, staying-in-touch nudges, and local suggestions, now just work quietly in the background instead of showing up as things you have to manage. Your own automations and daily briefs stay fully in your control.
- Pally now knows exactly what your plan includes from the first message, so it won't promise something it can't do, walk a promise back mid-task, or point you at a bigger plan than the one that actually fits.
- Pally now answers questions about what your plan includes, like how many apps you can connect, by checking your actual plan instead of saying it isn't sure or pointing you at the pricing page.
- Pally now knows about its built-in features, like the daily morning brief, even before you've connected the apps that power them, so it stops underselling what it can do.
- When you tell Pally "you pick" or "surprise me", it now goes and does the task and comes back with a concrete pick, instead of asking another round of questions.
- Answers to quick-fire question lists now arrive as fewer, denser texts instead of a long stream of separate bubbles.
- Pally's replies stay focused on answering you, without narrating its own internal rules along the way.
Bug fixes
- Fixed group-chat @-mentions so tapping Pally's name from the contact suggestion reliably wakes it, not just typing "@pally" by hand.
- When a website you connected through the secure browser signs Pally out, Pally can now send you a fresh sign-in link right away instead of getting stuck insisting the site is already connected.
- Fixed a bug where a single corrupted WhatsApp chat record could quietly break WhatsApp inbox summaries and morning briefs until it was repaired.
- Browser tasks got more dependable: links that start with http now work instead of being rejected, and asking for a new browser task while the previous one is still running gets a clear heads-up instead of a failed task.
- Fixed a bug where contact memory could stop updating for people with very long, busy WhatsApp conversations - Pally now handles those threads instead of skipping the sync.
- Fixed a bug where a scheduled check-in you had already handled in conversation could text you a stray internal note like "no message needed here" instead of just staying quiet.
- Fixed a bug where Pally could wrongly tell you a confirmed message hadn't gone out even though it had, and ask you to confirm sending it again. Pally also now notices when it's about to re-send a message it just sent and checks with you instead.
- Referral links with an invalid or mistyped code now clearly say the code does not work instead of promising a free month.
- Fixed a bug where texting Pally while a long multi-part answer was still arriving could cut off the last messages and make Pally lose track of which part you never received.
July 23, 2026
New features
- Pally now notices when you're drifting from people who matter to you and suggests reconnecting once a week, with what's new in their world and a ready-to-send draft so reaching out takes seconds. Only people saved in your contacts are ever suggested, and saying "stop suggesting them" sticks.
- You can now ask Pally to help you stay in touch with someone on whatever rhythm you choose, snooze or stop its suggestions for anyone, and ask "who am I losing touch with?" any time.
- Pally can now post on X for you: publish posts, reply, like, repost, or delete, always with your approval first. It's also upfront that X DMs aren't supported yet.
- Right after you connect X, Pally sends a quick first rundown: your profile, recent mentions, and how your latest posts are doing. If you have a business or public presence, it can also offer to keep an eye on what people are saying about it on X.
- Connecting X now sets up two weekly digests you can keep or turn off: a recap of how your posts performed, and a summary of the posts you bookmarked.
Improvements
- Pally now recognizes your WhatsApp contacts as the same people you know from iMessage and your address book, so each person's history and details stay together in one place.
- Getting started with Pally is less repetitive: it asks what you need help with once, and after you connect an account it suggests specific things it can take off your plate based on what it actually sees there.
- The page friends see when you share your referral link now has one clear button that opens Messages with the code already filled in, so claiming their free month is more obvious.
- The feature where you and friends link your pallys with an invite link is now called your team, so "group" can simply mean your iMessage group chats. The invites, sharing choices, and dashboard work the same way.
- Pally replies faster, especially right after you queue or approve a draft.
Bug fixes
- When you approve an action like an X post, Pally confirms the result right away with the link, instead of saying it's checking and then losing track of what happened.
- Pally no longer occasionally queues the same approval twice when you ask it to post something once.
- Links in Pally's messages no longer arrive with a chunk of technical gibberish stuck to the end.
- Checks that look things up on the web for you no longer fail partway through, and Pally stays quiet instead of sending a confusing "couldn't finish checking" note when your question was already answered.
- Fixed a memory-upkeep bug that could cut off episode summaries mid-thought, so Pally keeps the full context from your conversations.
- Fixed a bug that could quietly stall the background upkeep of Pally's memory for some accounts, so remembered facts stay fresh and duplicates get cleaned up reliably.
- Signing in to sites like LinkedIn through the secure browser is more patient: when a site asks you for a verification code, Pally now waits for you to finish instead of closing the browser mid sign-in and asking you to start over.
- Custom MCP servers with big tool catalogs (like Airtable) now connect fully: their tools load instead of failing because the list was larger than Pally accepted.
- Connecting your X account is smoother: it confirms right away after you sign in, greets you by your X handle, and no longer sometimes claims the account still isn't linked or asks you to reconnect.
- Pally no longer asks permission before harmless X reads like checking your own profile, mentions, timeline, or bookmarks; only real changes need your approval.
- The first rundown Pally sends after you connect an account is more dependable: it digs as deep as it needs to and always shares what it found, instead of occasionally going quiet.
July 22, 2026
New features
- You can now see your recent phone calls in your dashboard: when each call happened, whether the security check passed, and what Pally got done on the call.
- You can now plug your own tools into Pally: tell it about any MCP server right in chat and Pally can use that server's tools, asking you first before anything that makes changes.
- Pally can now react to your messages with iMessage tapbacks (a like, a heart, a laugh, and more) when a quick reaction fits better than a text reply.
- You can now ask for place-based reminders like "remind me when I get home" or "next time I'm near the pharmacy": share your location with Pally and it pings you when you actually arrive. Pally will also offer one naturally when it fits what you're doing. Leaving works too: "when I leave the house, remind me to get groceries" pings you on your way out.
- Pally now notices trips from your shared location alone: when you're clearly away from home, your schedules shift to local time and you get a friendly heads-up with tips, even when there's no booking email to go on. On a trip to another city, it can also mention people you know there, once per trip and never in your home city.
Improvements
- Referral thank-yous are warmer: when someone you referred sticks around, Pally now thanks you by name and confirms your reward credit was added to your account right away.
- Your message and email watchers are sharper about what deserves a heads-up: plan changes and cancellations, direct questions waiting on your answer, and times you've asked Pally to notify you more all break through more reliably, while junk keeps getting skipped.
- Custom automations you create now run more efficiently by default, so heavy schedules cost less of your plan's background budget; plans with the best-model option keep the top model.
- Pally's very first welcome text is friendlier: it now arrives as a few short messages instead of one long block.
- Your morning brief is now anchored to where you actually wake up: weather and day-shape context for the city you're in, not just your home city.
- Pally is more natural with tapbacks now: when a quick reaction says it all, it simply hearts or thumbs-ups your message and leaves it at that, no follow-up text needed.
- Your one-time free week of Pally Pro is now easier to discover: Pally offers it whenever you bump into any Free plan limit, not just when you run out of integration slots.
- Pally has a new, more natural-sounding voice on phone calls.
- Pally is better at hearing you on calls when you're on speakerphone, in the car, or somewhere noisy.
- When you run out of included browser tasks for the month, Pally now says so clearly and accurately, tells you which plan includes more, and offers an upgrade link right away.
- Pally's background email lookups (for briefings, automations, and research tasks) are faster and more reliable: it no longer wastes a step rediscovering email tools it already knows before reading your inbox.
- When you first start sharing your location, Pally now picks it up within seconds and confirms once it can see it, instead of leaving you wondering whether it worked.
- Tweaking a draft is smoother: when you ask for a specific wording change to a message Pally already showed you, it applies your edit and sends it in one step, then shows you exactly what it sent, instead of asking you to approve all over again.
- When Pally asks for approval on a queued email, the approval message now always includes the exact text about to be sent, so you never approve wording you haven't seen.
- Pally is much better at remembering what you wished it could do: when you run into something it can't handle yet, even a small thing, that ask is noted so the team can build it.
- When something you previously asked for ships, Pally now reliably circles back to tell you it's live, including things that shipped on busy release days and used to slip through.
- Automations like your morning brief are much more resilient: when a temporary AI-provider hiccup interrupts a run, Pally now quietly retries instead of telling you it couldn't put things together.
- When an automation can only gather part of what it needs (say one inbox is unreachable), it now sends you what it found and says what it couldn't check, instead of sending nothing.
- When an automation genuinely can't come together, Pally now tells you in its own words what went wrong and what it tried, instead of a generic failure message.
Bug fixes
- WhatsApp no longer goes quiet while we ship updates: previously an update could pause WhatsApp sending and checking for everyone for around 15 minutes; updates now roll out gradually so WhatsApp keeps working throughout.
- Fixed place reminders firing too eagerly: asking to be reminded "when I'm back home" while you're still there (or just leaving) could ping you minutes later. Arrival reminders now only fire on a real return.
- Connecting your own MCP servers now works reliably: authorizing a server with OAuth was sometimes wrongly reported as failed right after you approved it, and some servers' tools couldn't load afterward. Both are fixed, so bring-your-own tools just work.
- Fixed a rare bug where certain special characters in messages or looked-up content could make Pally stop replying in a conversation entirely. Affected conversations recover automatically.
- Pally no longer repeats itself with a second answer when a longer lookup finishes after it already replied, and it won't interrupt a pending yes/no question with a new one, so your "yes" always lands on the thing you meant.
- When a send fails and Pally asks "want me to try again?", saying yes now reliably retries that exact message instead of getting mixed up with newer drafts.
- Editing a queued iMessage draft now replaces the old version, so only the updated message can send.
- Fixed failure notices that could read "couldn't send that to -" with a missing name; Pally now words these cleanly.
- Pally Pro received as a referral gift or free preview now applies everywhere in chat: Pally no longer wrongly holds you to free-plan limits, like blocking faster automation schedules you're entitled to.
- Pally now confirms on the call the moment your verification code checks out, instead of leaving you waiting and unsure.
- Phone calls no longer hang up on you while Pally is still talking or finishing something you asked for; calls only end when the conversation is truly over.
- The typing indicator is more reliable, so you can see Pally is working on a reply from your very first message.
- Messages are now much harder to lose: if a reply or automation alert fails to send during a brief messaging outage, Pally retries it once the connection recovers instead of dropping it, and it no longer believes it told you something that never actually arrived.
- Fixed rare cases where a text you sent could sit unanswered because it never properly reached Pally: Pally now spots late-arriving messages and every couple of minutes goes looking for any it may have missed, so you're not left waiting on a reply.
- Fixed a bug where events on a calendar someone shares with you could show up in automation alerts as your own plans. Pally now keeps other people's calendars out of your schedule unless you ask for them.
- Fixed tapback reactions failing to send: asking Pally to heart or thumbs-up one of your messages was answered with "couldn't find the message". Reactions now actually land on the message you meant.
- Fixed an issue where turning on location sharing with Pally wasn't being detected.
- Fewer "the lookup timed out" apologies: when Pally's AI provider stalls mid-reply, Pally now recognizes that as a temporary hiccup and switches to its backup model instead of giving up on your request.
- Fixed a serious bug where correcting a queued email draft and then approving it could send the earlier, uncorrected version. Pally now checks that what you approved is exactly what's queued before anything sends, and asks again if they don't match.
- Fixed an issue where Pally could get confused by an upcoming reminder or check-in and deliver it early, sometimes with made-up details. Scheduled reminders and check-ins now only arrive at their scheduled time.
July 21, 2026
New features
- You can now link your bank, credit card, and business accounts to Pally through a secure connection flow, then ask about balances, recent transactions, and where your money is going across personal and company accounts. Tag any account as personal or business so questions like "how's the company card" filter correctly.
- A new optional weekly spending brief: turn it on by asking, and Pally will recap your week's spending, top categories, and anything unusual, with personal and business accounts kept separate.
Improvements
- One-time reminders are now tidier: after Pally pings you, it closes out the reminder in your task list or sets the next ping if one makes sense, instead of leaving old reminders sitting there as overdue.
Bug fixes
- Automations are now more resilient during AI service outages: when the primary AI model is overloaded, scheduled briefs and alerts switch to a backup model instead of failing with a "hit a snag" message.
- The web dashboard's upgrade and billing buttons work again. They previously showed a verification error instead of opening checkout, and the referral opt-out switch had the same problem.
July 20, 2026
New features
- Pally now keeps track of where your contacts are based. When a conversation makes someone's city clear, Pally remembers it on their contact profile and uses it for things like travel heads-ups, and you can always ask Pally to save, correct, or forget it.
- Pally can now send Excel spreadsheets and PDF documents as real file attachments, alongside the CSVs and text files it could already send. Spreadsheets keep proper number formatting, and PDFs support headings, lists, and bold text in any language.
- Pally can now press keypad buttons on phone calls, so it can get through automated phone menus ("press 2 for renewals, press 0 for an operator") instead of getting stuck when a menu only accepts touch-tone input.
- A new weekly local picks update: share your location with Pally and once a week it will scout one highly rated spot you haven't been to yet, near where you actually spend your time.
- Pally now remembers where you've been: ask things like "where did I go last Tuesday?" or "what was that restaurant I went to in Chicago?" and get a real answer from your shared location history.
- When you ask for podcasts to follow, Pally now checks a real podcast directory, so recommendations are real, active shows you can actually find in your podcast player.
Improvements
- Forwarding and quoting messages word-for-word is now faster and more exact: Pally grabs the full original text on the first pass, so you get the "good to send?" confirmation sooner and what goes out is always the exact text, never a reworded version.
- If a scheduled update fails, Pally now tells you right away instead of staying silent, and you can ask for the update on the spot instead of waiting for tomorrow's run.
- Pally is much stricter about recommendations it finds online: before naming a podcast, newsletter, business, or other find, it opens the actual page to confirm the thing exists, is active, and matches what you asked for, instead of trusting search-result snippets.
- If a reply is about to cite web pages Pally never actually opened, it now catches that before sending and either verifies them or says plainly which ones are unverified.
- Pally now recognizes a friend's referral code when you text it, even mid-conversation, and explains how referral credit applies instead of being confused by it.
- Disconnecting or deleting your data now takes one confirmation instead of two, and the final message is written in plain language instead of technical output.
- After a disconnect, Pally is upfront about what it still remembers and how to delete that too.
- When a phone call can't connect, Pally is better at working out why - for example freephone lines that only accept calls from local numbers - and can suggest a better number to try instead of just reporting the line as busy.
- Pally is getting better at using your location: it knows when your thread supports live location sharing, walks you through turning it on from Messages, and offers it when a request genuinely needs your location instead of only asking for a city.
- If a technical problem stops Pally from answering a message at all, it now tells you something went wrong instead of leaving you with silence.
- When Pally does need to correct itself (say a message is still waiting on your approval rather than sent), the correction is now written naturally in your language and keeps the rest of the answer, instead of a canned one-liner replacing everything.
- Pally now has a stricter rule for special links like checkout and sign-in pages: it only sends ones it actually received from the real system, and says plainly when it doesn't have one yet.
- Fewer failed web lookups: Pally now finds a page's real address by searching first, instead of guessing the address from memory.
- Scheduled automations are now smarter about contacts: they can save useful notes about people they come across, and their email checks are more reliable.
Bug fixes
- Moving a reminder to a new time now actually moves the alert. Before, Pally could confirm the change while the reminder quietly kept its old time.
- Reminders asked for late in the evening now land on the right day, so a reminder for "tonight" can no longer end up set for tomorrow night.
- Fixed a crash that could stop a scheduled brief or alert partway through after it looked something up on the web, leaving you without your update.
- Scheduled updates that take longer to put together, like a busy morning brief, now finish and send instead of giving up with a "couldn't put it together" note.
- Fixed links Pally sends arriving with their tail cut off (long secure checkout and verification links), which made some pages show "something went wrong" when opened.
- Fixed a bug where Pally could second-guess a perfectly good answer right before sending and replace it with a short, confusing correction, sometimes losing the long, detailed reply you asked for. Pally now only corrects itself when it genuinely claimed to have done something it didn't do.
- Disconnecting WhatsApp now cleans up everything Pally created from it - synced contacts, related tasks, and WhatsApp-only automations - not just the connection itself.
- Fixed a rare bug where Pally could go permanently silent in a conversation: if a chat ever contained a blank message, every later reply in that chat could fail behind the scenes.
- Setting up a call with a long list of questions now works on the first try instead of silently retrying behind the scenes.
July 19, 2026
Bug fixes
- Fixed a loop in payment card identity verification where passports could be misread as driver's licenses and Pally kept re-asking for the same photo. Pally now also explains that verification is a one-time setup: after your first payment, purchases just need a quick approval.
- Fixed rare replies that mentioned Pally's internal system names instead of describing the action in plain words.
- Made a few background actions more reliable, so requests like dismissing a suggested task or saving a note about a contact no longer occasionally fail.
July 17, 2026
Improvements
- When Pally asks you to accept the card issuer's terms during payment card setup, it now includes a link to the terms so you can read them first.
- You can now set up group calendar sharing entirely in chat: Pally picks your connected calendar automatically, or asks which account to use if you have several, instead of sending you to the dashboard.
- Pally's background searches across your email and WhatsApp are now faster and more complete, especially when you have several email accounts connected.
Bug fixes
- Verifying your identity for payment card setup by texting a photo of your ID now works: phone photos were failing to upload, saying yes to the terms didn't always register, and Pally now explains clearly if a submission doesn't go through.
- Fixed a frustrating loop where Pally could keep re-asking you to approve the same message even after you said yes, especially when you reply quickly or approve several things at once.
- Pally's approval questions now always reach you, even when you send several messages in a row while it's still working.
- Cleaner confirmation messages: no more internal codes or "cancelled" notices for things you never asked to cancel.
- The morning brief is now more reliable and arrives even on days when there's a lot to go through.
- Group chat alerts you've asked for ("always tell me about this chat") now fire consistently instead of sometimes being skipped.
July 16, 2026
New features
- Pally can now submit job applications and other online forms for you end to end: it fills everything out, attaches your resume, shows you the final review, and only submits after you confirm.
- You can now text Pally files like your resume to keep on hand, so it can attach them to applications and forms later without you digging them up each time.
- Setting up Pally to pay for things is now a simple conversation: verify your identity by snapping a photo of your ID and sending it right in the chat - no account to create, no website to sign in to. A quick face scan link is the only step that leaves the conversation.
- Flight search and booking is now on every plan: any Pally user can ask for flights, get real fares, and book with a secure checkout link, with no monthly search limits.
- The free plan now includes browser tasks, so Pally can dig through websites for you - checking a store's stock, reading a booking page, gathering details a quick search can't reach.
- When you introduce yourself, Pally now looks you up, tells you what it found, and suggests a few ways it could help someone with your kind of week - so you don't have to guess what to ask for.
Improvements
- Pally's typing indicator is now more natural: it waits a beat while you finish a multi-message thought before jumping in, stays steady through longer work instead of cutting out and reappearing, and clears properly instead of staying stuck on "typing" if something goes wrong.
- A better first hello: Pally's welcome now leads with what it can take off your plate - booking flights, staying on top of your inbox and group chats, chasing the things you keep putting off - and asks what would actually help you, instead of listing features.
- Flight search is now more reliable for big metro areas: asking for flights to NYC, London, or Tokyo searches every airport in the city instead of coming up empty.
- Pally now reliably finds its own booking and calling abilities when you ask for a restaurant table or a flight, instead of wrongly telling you it can't help and pointing you at a website.
- Pally's lightweight message screening is now much cheaper, keeping the stronger model focused on the messages that actually need deeper review.
- iMessage sends are now more dependable: Pally always prepares a real confirmation before asking you to approve a send, handles unusual Mac message history safely, and can send directly to an exact phone number or email address instead of getting stuck resolving the contact.
- Status updates like "Gmail is connected" or a heads up about a failed send are now written by Pally itself in your language, instead of arriving as fixed English system messages.
- Pally now stays fast for everyone even when one account kicks off a huge amount of background work - a big import or a busy stretch on someone else's account won't slow down your conversations.
- Browser tasks like booking prep are now much more resilient: when the secure browser stalls or hiccups, Pally fails fast and retries instead of burning its whole time budget on a dead session.
Bug fixes
- Fixed a bug where confirming several queued actions at once (like deleting a batch of calendar events) could make Pally keep re-asking you to confirm instead of just doing it.
- Pally no longer restarts background work that is already running, repeats a write that already finished, or revives an old request just because you said "thanks".
- Pally no longer tells you something didn't happen after it successfully completes an action like pausing your automations.
- Pally no longer sends stray internal system notes as extra messages after already answering your question.
- If background browser work runs past its time limit, Pally can now pick up the finished result right afterward instead of losing it and reporting a failure.
- Fixed a rare bug where a long, complex request could finish its work but never deliver Pally's reply.
- Fixed an iMessage bug where a send could fail during contact lookup instead of going through.
- Fixed rare failures where a WhatsApp send, a queued email reply, or a contact update could error out because of a shortened internal reference.
- Fixed a glitch where saving notes about a contact could quietly fail.
July 15, 2026
New features
- Pally now makes changes that stay in your own world - updating your spreadsheets, docs, notes, and tasks - right away instead of asking you to confirm first. Confirmation is reserved for things that reach other people, like emails, messages, invites, and payments, plus anything that deletes data.
- You can now approve several queued changes at once: Pally keeps every pending confirmation in play and understands which ones your reply approves, so confirming a batch of calendar deletes applies all of them instead of only the most recent one.
- Pally can now put a multi-day conference or trip on your calendar as one event spanning the dates, instead of separate day blocks, and can mark it free so it doesn't block your schedule.
- You can now teach Pally reusable skills - templates and playbooks it follows by name. Save one once (an email structure, a task checklist, a report format), then just ask for it and Pally follows it exactly. Correct the result and Pally updates the saved version, and you can review or edit them all on your dashboard.
- Pally Max can now find and book flights: tell Pally where and when, and it searches real fares across airlines, suggests the best options, and sends a secure checkout link to book the one you like with your own card. Once you book, Pally confirms your reference, tracks the trip, and can handle cancellations for you.
- Suggested to-dos now clean up in the moment: when a message in the conversation a suggestion came from clearly shows it was already handled - including you saying "paid" or "done" yourself - Pally clears it within minutes. Suggestions from WhatsApp chats also get a daily re-read, so nothing you've dealt with lingers in your list.
- Creating and updating things in your newer work apps now uses the same polished flow as Notion and Drive: multi-step Jira, Confluence, Google Docs, Todoist, Splitwise, and GitHub changes are drafted as one clear approval, with mistakes caught before you confirm instead of after.
- Deeper research: for questions that deserve more than a quick take, Pally can now run a proper multi-source lookup with citations, so answers come back with receipts.
- New apps you can connect: GitHub, Jira, Confluence, Google Docs, Todoist, and Splitwise join Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Sheets, Slack, Notion, Linear, and Outlook.
- Pally can now put together an Instacart shopping list from whatever you describe - "restock my usual breakfast stuff" becomes a ready-to-check-out cart link.
- For developers: hand Pally a bug or feature request over text and it can brief a coding agent on your GitHub repo, watch the work, and text you back when a pull request is ready.
- Pally Pro can now act in the browser, not just look: booking a table, buying something, or submitting a form gets prepared right up to the final step, then waits for your approval before committing.
- Pally now has a real language setting: tell it once which language you want and every message follows it - replies, reminders, and proactive updates alike - instead of occasionally drifting back to another language. Switch anytime by just asking.
- Ask Pally how its background work is going and it can now genuinely check: live progress on research and browser tasks, plus a link to watch its secure browser work in real time without interrupting it.
- Pally can now pay for things on your behalf: once you set up Agentcard and allow it to pay for you, Pally completes a checkout - like ordering food - using a single-use virtual card it creates for that exact order total, so nothing can be overcharged. It shows you the order and amount and asks you to confirm before it pays, every time.
Improvements
- Setting up a reminder at the same time as one you already have now gets flagged as a likely duplicate even when the names differ, so you don't get double texts.
- Pally now describes reminders that fire several times a day accurately when listing them, instead of only mentioning the first time slot.
- Pally can now search the web more times per question, so answers that need real research come back more complete.
- Pally now takes more steps on hard questions before wrapping up, in chat and especially in background research, which also gets much more time to dig.
- Long background research tasks now finish their write-up with everything they read in view, so conclusions are sharper instead of summarized from shortened notes.
- Adding events to your own calendar is now instant: ask Pally to put something on your calendar and it just adds it instead of asking you to confirm first. Invites that email other people still get your approval before anything goes out.
- Simple recurring reminders now run on a much lighter path, so they arrive faster and use far less of your plan's budget.
- Secure browser sign-ins now work properly from your phone: the sign-in page opens phone-sized in Pally's own secure view where the keyboard comes up the moment you tap a text field, Pally notices on its own once you've signed in and confirms the connection, and asking for a fresh link replaces the old one right away instead of getting stuck.
- When you ask Pally to handle an email it can't see yet, it now offers to connect your inbox and pull the message itself instead of asking you to paste the contents in.
- Morning briefs and other daily updates now arrive close to their scheduled time at busy hours instead of queueing behind everyone else's.
- Pally now notices when your Mac companion app is out of date and tells you how to update it, instead of blaming an already-fixed bug or pointing you at support.
- The Mac companion app now updates itself automatically in the background - no more clicking through update prompts.
- Suggested to-dos now clean up after themselves: each suggestion remembers the conversation it came from and re-checks it for updates, so anything you've already dealt with gets cleared instead of lingering in your list.
- Pally now offers its built-in browser when a site has no direct connection - it can sign in (with you), check things, and prepare purchases or bookings for your approval.
- Dashboard sign-in is simpler: one code-based login flow instead of juggling passkeys, which have been retired.
- Pally's built-in browser gets more room to work: long research and checkout runs now finish instead of stopping partway on a tight safety budget, with bigger allowances on higher plans.
- Important-email alerts now read the actual email up front when judging whether it's worth interrupting you, so busy inboxes get faster and more accurate triage.
- Background answers and alerts now run in a dedicated fast lane, so a heavy burst of incoming messages can't slow them down for anyone.
- Pally is smarter about repeated automations: before creating a new automation or recurring reminder it notices you already have one that does the same thing and reconciles with you instead of quietly stacking duplicates like two wake-up pings.
- If a message you send ever goes unanswered because of a temporary glitch, Pally now notices within minutes and replies on its own instead of leaving you hanging.
- Pally's automatic screening of your incoming messages and email is now much cheaper to run and no longer pauses itself for the rest of the day after busy stretches - alerts and task tracking keep running all day, every day, even in the busiest Slack workspaces and inboxes.
- Slack alerts now skip re-checking a thread when a newer message in that same thread was already reviewed, so busy threads take less background work.
- Slack important-message alerts now read the full conversation thread before deciding what deserves your attention, making them more accurate.
- Routine login confirmations and other ordinary security emails now stay quiet; Pally interrupts only for severe, unexplained security emergencies that need immediate action.
- Pally is now better at preserving the exact wording you ask for in message drafts, keeping simple openings like "hey" without adding extra casual filler.
- Pally's important-message checks and other automations now keep the source context, verification, and user preferences they need without carrying unrelated chat instructions.
- my.pally.com now has clearer mobile navigation, more accessible forms and controls, and improved page hierarchy across the dashboard.
- Pally now catches duplicate reminders that hide inside a broader recurring reminder, so you won't get two near-identical pings at the same time.
- Calls to your pally line now have stricter security: pally always asks the caller to say the code texted to you, even when the call looks like it comes from your own number - caller ID can be faked, the code can't.
- Morning briefs that hit their work limit now send you what they found instead of an error message.
- Replies are now more dependable when a lookup returns a very large amount of data, so long results no longer derail the conversation.
Bug fixes
- Fixed a rare bug where Pally could send a strange placeholder message like "empty response" instead of a real reply.
- Pally no longer walks back true statements like "i'll check back in an hour" when a check-in it already scheduled backs them up.
- Fixed a glitch where a daily brief could be fully prepared but never sent, leaving a "something went wrong" message instead - Pally now catches this and delivers the brief it wrote.
- Fixed a bug where Pally could wrongly claim it can't do something it actually can - like creating images, sending files, or placing calls - and even "correct" itself out of a real capability. Pally now always knows its full toolkit.
- Travel radar now actually reads your connected inbox and calendar for booking confirmations and trips, so upcoming travel gets spotted without you having to mention it.
- After re-pairing the Mac companion app, Pally now talks to your newest Mac setup instead of an old leftover pairing.
- If you text Pally again before its previous reply went out, any request from your earlier message no longer gets dropped.
- Pally no longer repeats outdated claims about product issues that have since been fixed - remembered problems now age out once resolved.
- Fixed a bug where Pally could go quiet during brief AI-provider slowdowns for people with many connected apps - the backup path now handles those accounts properly.
- Fixed a rare case where Pally finished thinking but sent nothing - it now catches the empty reply and immediately retries.
- Pally no longer claims you can message it directly on WhatsApp - there is no separate Pally contact there. Connecting WhatsApp links your own account so Pally can read and send on your behalf, and your Pally chat stays the one place to talk to it.
- Email search no longer breaks entirely when one of your connected email accounts has been removed - Pally now cleans up the stale account automatically and keeps working with the rest.
- Outlook email alerts can now actually read the triggering email when deciding whether to interrupt you - a long-standing lookup bug made many Outlook emails unreadable to the screener, so alerts were flying blind.
- Connecting the same email account twice no longer creates a duplicate: Pally recognizes it's the same mailbox, keeps one connection, and stops double-processing your incoming email.
- Recurring reminders now count against your plan's automation slots when they're created, so you find out right away instead of hitting a confusing over-the-limit message later.
- Duplicate reminders created before the duplicate-prevention fix are cleaned up, so anyone still getting the same reminder twice stops seeing double pings.
- Fixed a rare secure-browser sign-in glitch where Pally could finish signing you in but fail to send the confirmation if it restarted at exactly the wrong moment.
- Fixed privacy and browser-security gaps on my.pally.com, including search indexing, secure transport, and protection against embedded lookalike pages.
- Fixed a glitch where a call to your pally line could ring once with no answer and only connect on a retry.
- Fixed an issue where Pally could give conflicting answers about whether paid plan upgrades are available.
July 14, 2026
New features
- Messages Pally drafts in your name now sound like you, not like Pally: it learns how you actually write to each person and matches your usual tone, casing, and style.
- Tone feedback on drafts now sticks: tell Pally once that a draft should be less casual (or warmer, or more formal) and it remembers for next time.
- Pally now spots when a conversation shows a tracked to-do is done and quietly closes it for you, instead of waiting for you to dismiss it.
- After connecting a new app, Pally shares a quick recap of what it picked up about you so you can correct anything it got wrong.
- Pally can now create proper multi-tab Google Sheets - it builds the spreadsheet and its tabs in order under one approval, instead of being limited to a single-tab import.
- Group scheduling now supports Outlook: free/busy checks and event booking work for Outlook calendars, not just Google.
- You can now share just specific email labels or folders with a group instead of your whole mailbox.
- You can now share just specific Slack channels with a group instead of your whole workspace - the group can only search and post in the channels you picked.
- Group Linear sharing now supports team scoping: pick the one team a group can see and work in, which also unblocks issue creation for people who belong to several teams.
- Group Drive sharing now supports folder scoping: share specific folders with a group instead of letting it search your whole Drive.
- Groups now have a clearly labeled option to let a group send email or post to Slack as you: it stays off unless you turn it on, you can grant it in chat or on your dashboard, and Pally still tells you about every send.
Improvements
- When something you already approved hits a technical hiccup, Pally now retries the fixed version right away instead of asking you to approve the same thing a second time.
- Pally can now instantly clean up calendar events it created itself, without a confirmation round-trip for each one.
- After making a batch of calendar changes, Pally now re-checks the calendar and reports what actually changed instead of assuming everything went through.
- Pally will now ask before putting inferred or guessed dates on your calendar instead of silently picking dates from context.
- Your very first exchange with Pally is faster: the welcome reply arrives seconds sooner, and early setup steps like sharing your name or connecting an app are snappier too.
- Multi-step requests are smoother: Pally keeps what it already worked out mid-task, so it stops re-checking the same thing and asking you to confirm the same step twice.
- Pally is smarter about its own toolkit: it pulls in just the tools each message needs, keeping replies fast and on point as its abilities grow.
- Fewer repeat pings from iMessage alerts: if you've already replied in a conversation, Pally won't alert you about that message, and rapid-fire texts in one chat now produce at most one heads-up instead of several.
- Once Pally has alerted you about a thread, it stays quiet about that thread until you've had a chance to reply, instead of re-raising the same topic.
- iMessage alerts now interrupt only for real deadlines, blocking asks, or things you'd genuinely miss, not casual back-and-forth you're already on top of.
- WhatsApp and iMessage alerts now recognize when you've replied and stay quiet about conversations you've already handled.
- The What's new page on pally.com now refreshes within minutes of a release, so it always shows the latest updates instead of waiting for a once-a-day rebuild.
- The daily brief is better at noticing when you've already handled something, so suggested tasks you dealt with in chat stop reappearing as if they're still waiting.
- Searching your WhatsApp history is faster and more reliable, so briefs and follow-up checks stop missing things when a search runs long.
- Pally now keeps the gist of much longer conversations in mind, so older parts of a long-running chat stop falling out of view.
- Pally is more selective about which memories and contacts it brings into each reply, so answers stay focused on what actually matters right now.
- If you switch Pally to normal sentence case, its automatic messages (connection confirmations, dashboard links, approval requests) now follow that style too instead of staying lowercase.
- Dashboard approval texts now say exactly what you're approving, like "connect Notion", instead of a vague generic phrase.
- You can approve a pending request and ask for something new in the same message, and Pally handles both instead of making you repeat yourself.
- When Pally checks in after you've gone quiet for a while, it now looks back at how you were using it and mentions recent updates that fit, so you can see what's new before deciding to take a break.
- Automations that need a pinch of judgment - like "warn me when a meeting is somewhere other than home" - now run their routine checks instantly too, asking a tiny helper only when something actually needs a second look.
- Recurring custom automations that learn their routine: after a few runs, Pally turns checks like "remind me when a meeting still needs my RSVP" into instant background lookups, so hourly automations use a small fraction of the plan budget they used to and still message you the moment something matters.
- Pally now fills in your name and email on your account from what it already knows, so your dashboard shows you properly without you having to introduce yourself again.
- Pally now opens and double-checks links before sending them, and rewrites the reply when it catches a dead listing or broken page.
- When a site is hard to reach with a quick lookup, Pally leans on its real browser research instead of guessing from search results, and it tells you honestly when it couldn't verify something.
- Group invites now find you even if you joined Pally later: numbers that were waitlisted at invite time get their pending invite delivered on signup.
- Deleting a group now also erases its coordination history instead of keeping the transcript around.
- Sharing a slice with a group is now one step: saying "share only my #trip-planning channel" turns the sharing on and scopes it in the same breath, and adding or removing one channel or folder doesn't require repeating the whole list.
- When a group asks for something beyond what you normally share with it, the approval request now says so clearly before you decide.
- Daily digests and morning briefs now finish cleaning up task suggestions that turn out to be already handled, even when a run hits its work limit - so stale suggestions stop reappearing day after day.
Bug fixes
- Fixed a flow where approving a queued update could fail behind the scenes and make Pally ask you to confirm the same change twice.
- If Pally queues something for your approval but you never actually saw the question (because you'd already texted something else), it now shows you the pending question instead of leaving it invisible.
- An old queued draft you ignored no longer blocks Pally from setting up the next thing you ask for - it drops the stale draft with a quick note instead of making you deal with it first.
- Fixed a bug where telling Pally to "delete everything you added" could be misread as cancelling the deletion it had queued.
- Connecting a second account of the same app (like two Outlook inboxes) no longer sends you two nearly identical first-look summaries.
- Thumbs-upping a confirmation message now reliably approves the action - no more approving something and hearing nothing back.
- Pally's "on it" messages now sound like what it's actually doing, instead of falling back to a canned "i'll come back with what i find" that doesn't fit.
- Pairing a new Mac no longer makes Pally churn through years of old messages, delaying current alerts and background answers.
- Slow or stuck background checks now keep you posted instead of going quiet, and Pally no longer re-answers a question it already answered.
- WhatsApp checks are much faster and more reliable: we found and fixed the bottleneck that sometimes made WhatsApp lookups crawl or made Pally say WhatsApp could not be checked.
- Timed reminders now keep the exact time you asked for, and Pally no longer second-guesses whether a reminder it already sent actually went out.
- Starting a Pally Pro preview now unlocks the thing you were trying to do right away, instead of asking you to try again in a bit.
- WhatsApp linking replies always include the pairing code itself, so you never have to ask "what's the code?".
- Asking for instant alerts now applies to every app a watcher covers: the task inbox watcher goes instant for WhatsApp, iMessage, email, and Slack together instead of only WhatsApp.
- Fixed replies that could run separate sentences together into one garbled message during live web research.
- When you approve something and then immediately send a correction, Pally now rebuilds it with your changes instead of ever acting on the outdated version.
- You'll always get a confirmation with the link when Pally finishes something you approved - no more silent completions leaving you on read.
- When you send a photo, Pally now knows one is still coming through and says so, instead of claiming no image arrived.
- Tidier messages when Pally queues or cancels an action: no more stray punctuation or sentences jammed together.
- Fixed group Notion page sharing so a page you shared with write access can actually be edited by the group - previously those writes failed even though sharing looked set up.
July 13, 2026
New features
- Calling Pally by phone: dial the same number you already text it on and it picks up live, answering only to your own verified number.
- An included amount of call time on Pally Free and Pally Pro, with Pally wrapping up the conversation gracefully - never cutting you off mid-sentence.
- Ask Pally what's new: it answers from its real changelog, including what's actively being worked on.
- Tell Pally about something it can't do yet, or something that bugged you - it remembers, and messages you the day that thing ships.
- Pally notices when there's something genuinely useful it could do for you that you've never tried, and mentions it at a natural moment - one gentle offer, never a sales pitch, and never twice if you say no.
- Groups using a member's connected Notion, either read-only or with full writing access, or sharing just one linked page.
Improvements
- A much tidier memory: Pally now merges duplicate memories, retires things that are clearly out of date, and never lets a guess overwrite something you've told it directly. Existing memories get the same cleanup, so your memory page stops repeating itself.
- Your memory page groups what Pally knows by topic and flags the few things worth a quick yes or no from you, instead of showing one long list.
- A cleaner task list: suggested to-dos whose moment has passed now expire on their own, duplicates get merged, and stale suggestions from old conversations get swept out - so pending tasks are things you'd actually still do.
- Your morning brief now offers each new suggested to-do exactly once: a quick line you can confirm with a reply or simply ignore, in which case it quietly lapses instead of piling up.
- Instant Google Calendar answers in chat and live on calls: "what's on today?" no longer waits on background work, and rescheduling no longer needs a slow lookup first.
- Instant email answers: "did my lawyer reply?" searches your connected Gmail or Outlook right away, in chat and on calls.
- Instant reads of any one WhatsApp or iMessage chat - "what did Sarah say?", "catch me up on the family group" - in chat and on calls.
- Instant Granola meeting recaps: "what were the action items from my last meeting?" answered with your latest meetings' notes.
- Your referrals page now shows who each referral is - their first name and last initial, or their phone number - instead of a generic label.
- Group invites that open straight into the group, with no extra phone number or verification code.
- Choosing exactly which connected account a group may use when you share an app, so your other accounts stay personal.
- Real page titles for Notion pages shared with a group, instead of a generic label.
- Group sharing that saves itself: every change on the dashboard applies the moment you make it.
- Birthday reminders that arrive on the eve of the birthday, instead of a week ahead.
- Conversation-watch escalations are smoother: Pally stays silent with the other person while it waits for your answer, sends once you approve, checks facts first, uses only your own calendars for your plans, and does not repeat stale draft-cancellation notices.
- Pally can now search every connected inbox together and give one recent-conversation overview across all your WhatsApp accounts, iMessage, and Slack, with each account clearly labeled and unavailable sources called out.
- Conversation watches got sharper from their first day in the wild: replies arrive noticeably faster and split into natural message bubbles, Pally checks your calendar, tasks, and email before answering on your behalf instead of hedging, and it remembers what you told it about the situation in your own chat.
- If the other person asks for something Pally isn't sure it should share, it now checks with you first - "they're asking for your flight details, happy for me to share?" - and once you say yes, Pally sends the answer for you.
- Watched conversations now catch up automatically after your Mac was offline, restarting, or updating, so messages that arrived during a gap still get their reply instead of being missed silently.
Bug fixes
- Pally keeps better track of the calendar in long-running chats: dates you mentioned days ago stay anchored to the right day, so a deadline or return date that already passed gets a "how did it go?" instead of a countdown that should have ended.
- Fixed adding events to your Google Calendar: creating an event failed with a provider error no matter how many times you confirmed, and Pally kept asking you to retry something that could never work.
- When someone emails you a calendar invite, "add it to my calendar" now accepts that invite instead of creating a duplicate event, and events Pally adds for you never email anyone unless you ask it to invite people.
- Pally no longer answers the same question twice when a background check finishes just after it already replied.
- Pictures on demand: asking for an image - "send me your selfie!" included - gets the photo straight away instead of "I can't send images", and Pally remembers the photos and files it has already sent in your chat.
- Follow-through on phone-call promises: if Pally says it will check something and text you after the call, it does.
- Opening the Pally companion app on your Mac now brings up its setup window, even when the app is already running in the menu bar - before, opening it did nothing visible, which made re-granting permissions confusing.
July 12, 2026
New features
- Ask Pally to watch a conversation and reply for you: "reply to my lawyer until the contract is sorted" or "answer my grandad and only tell me if something needs me". Works on WhatsApp, iMessage, Gmail, Outlook, and Slack. Pally replies from your account in your style, loops you in when you asked it to, stops when the job is done, and every active watch is visible and stoppable from your dashboard.
- Pally can now write to your work apps, not just read them: add a task to a Notion board, update a page or database row, file a Linear issue, or create a file or spreadsheet in Google Drive. Every write is confirmed with you first.
- Pally can now reply inside your existing Gmail and Outlook email threads, and send new email from Outlook. Every draft is confirmed with you before it sends.
- Pally can now reschedule, edit, cancel, and RSVP to Google Calendar events, not just create them. Attendees are only notified when you want them to be.
Improvements
- If you go quiet, Pally checks in once before pausing your automations, and everything picks back up the moment you text again.
- Pally now notices time passing. After days of silence it stops replying as if no time had passed, and old unanswered questions stay in the past unless you bring them up.
- One Apple app-specific password now connects iCloud Mail, iCloud Calendar, and iCloud Contacts together, and Pally offers that when a task needs it.
- Morning briefs are shorter and more worth reading: routine items are dropped, and stale or already-handled ones are skipped.
- Background automations that hit their per-run work limit now save what they found instead of losing it and redoing the work next run.
- Personal Microsoft accounts (@hotmail.com, @outlook.com) do not support inbox search on Microsoft's side; Pally now knows this and reads your recent messages instead.
- Searching your recent activity now covers your connected Gmail too, so questions like "what's happening with that deal?" find the real thread.
- If a background lookup runs out of time, Pally reports what it found and what it could not check, instead of a bare "that took too long".
- Drafts you never confirmed now lapse quietly with no nagging, and Pally stays honest about them if you ask later.
- Urgent alerts arrive faster.
- Alerts state times in your local timezone.
- The task tracker now only picks up things you personally need to do, works out real due dates from phrases like "by Wednesday", and skips minor chat coordination. Existing task lists get lighter too.
- The task tracker recognizes when a new to-do is really one it already tracks and refines it instead of listing it twice.
- When you ask Pally to relay an apology or a specific sentiment, it delivers your words faithfully instead of softening them.
- Signing into popular sites (Partiful, OpenTable, DoorDash, airlines, and more) no longer asks you to paste a login link.
- If you set up travel dates, daily schedules switch back to home time automatically when you get home.
- When background research fails, Pally tells you the real reason instead of a vague "it timed out".
Bug fixes
- Recurring reminders now fire at the time you asked for, in your timezone.
- Pally no longer invents contacts' birthdays from party invites or event chatter, and stops repeating the same upcoming birthday every day.
- If a message you approved fails to send, Pally tells you instead of dropping the failure silently, and offers WhatsApp when your Mac is offline for an iMessage send.
- Approving a call with "yep" now just places the call, with no second confirmation. Call reports clearly separate voicemail from actually talking to someone.
- Automations no longer re-pitch a draft you already declined, and daily digests stay quiet when their sources are down.
- Duplicate alerts about the same message or voicemail are now suppressed for hours across all your automations.
- Pally no longer shows internal chat IDs when asking which conversation you meant, and quoted drafts stay in one message bubble.
- Sending an email draft now takes one confirmation: "yes, send" sends.
- Email subjects and bodies are cleaned before sending, so dashes and spacing stay readable.
- WhatsApp checks no longer hang when WhatsApp's backend is having trouble; Pally says it could not check and answers from other sources.
- Morning briefs no longer show the same message twice, and busy group chats generate fewer duplicate checks.
July 11, 2026
New features
- Pally now checks in on you a day or two after big personal moments - a breakup, bad news, a big win - the way a friend would.
Improvements
- The dashboard now tells you when the Mac companion app needs an update or lost Full Disk Access, so contact syncing never fails quietly.
- Pairing codes that were never used now show as expired in the dashboard, with a clear way to request a fresh one.
Bug fixes
- Fixed honest replies about your connections sometimes getting rewritten into wrong ones (like "not connected yet" for an account that was connected) by an overcautious double-check.
July 10, 2026
New features
- You can now connect more than one WhatsApp account, like a personal and a business number. Pally says which account a message came from, asks which to send from when it is not obvious, and keeps everything working across all of them.
- Pally can now create real WhatsApp polls: a native question with tappable options, drafted for your approval.
- Pally can now send real file attachments in chat: ask for a CSV or an export and it arrives as a file, not a wall of text.
- Pally can now read spreadsheet and document links you text it: Google Sheets, Docs, and Drive share links plus Excel, Word, and CSV files, every tab included. If a file is not shared for link access, it tells you how to fix that.
- You can now connect Google Sheets, and Pally offers to connect Drive or Sheets when a request needs them.
- Pally can now send Slack messages after your confirmation.
- Pally now builds a real relationship summary for each contact you talk to - who they are to you and what is going on between you - by reading your recent conversations. It fills in automatically over the first few days.
- Pally can now pull older messages for a specific WhatsApp chat straight from your phone when the answer might be further back.
Improvements
- Pally Pro's monthly background work allowance has doubled, so an always-on hourly automation plus normal alerts fits comfortably inside the plan.
- Hourly automations now cost a small fraction of what they used to, with no change to what they check or when they message you.
- Asking for alerts about important emails or messages now tunes the built-in instant alerts instead of creating a slower duplicate automation.
- If your account is paused by its monthly usage cap, every message gets a short acknowledgement and your requests are picked up the moment the pause lifts.
- WhatsApp sends retry automatically through brief provider hiccups, and Pally always says clearly whether a message was sent, queued, or failed.
- WhatsApp history searches wait longer for results during slow syncs.
- Pally now searches your WhatsApp messages by what they say, not just chat names, so plans get found even in an unrelated-sounding chat.
- Pally now knows when a WhatsApp chat's history has not finished syncing and says so, instead of concluding the chat is empty.
- Morning briefs and daily digests can no longer silently skip a day, and a brief that was gathered but not delivered is surfaced instead of lost.
- When Pally runs out of working room mid-request, it wraps up with what it found or moves the rest to a background check, instead of asking you to resend.
- Recurring reminders default to your waking hours: "every 2 hours" means 08:00 to 22:00 your time unless you ask for overnight.
- Tasks Pally quietly noticed in your chats now show up in your morning brief to confirm or dismiss, after checking they were not already handled elsewhere.
- The daily task sweep now flags overdue items other people owe you, notes when something has been chased with no reply, and retires suggestions you never confirmed.
- Pally mentions when nothing is being tracked for something you seem to be waiting on, and offers to track it.
- Contact phone numbers can no longer be lost: every number Pally learns is kept, including through contact merges.
- Alerts arrive right away even when Pally's servers restart during an update.
- Alert timing is clearer: Pally tells you about the short default wait before pinging, and switches to instant alerts if you ask.
- Pally gives a straight, accurate answer when you ask why an alert or reply took a while.
- Plans still being decided are presented as unsettled in briefs and summaries, naming what is still open.
- Pally asks a pending question once, presents one confirmable draft at a time, and closes the loop when it later finds an answer.
- Pally no longer refuses to look at a web page just because the request mentioned a login wall; it reads what is public and reports back.
- Pally asks for call permission with one short, natural question, and reports what actually happened from the transcript.
- When someone answers a call Pally places, Pally starts speaking sooner, so the pickup no longer feels like a spam call.
- The Integrations page shows whether the Mac companion is running, when it last refreshed, and whether an update is available.
- The Tasks page is now the one place for tracked items; the leftover open-loops list is gone from the dashboard.
Bug fixes
- Fixed a loop where Pally's own iMessage notifications on your connected Mac could trigger repeated alerts about Pally's own texts.
- Asking an unrelated question no longer cancels a message you already approved, and if a queued draft is cancelled Pally always says so.
- Read-only lookups like searching your email or WhatsApp history no longer get wrongly blocked.
- Emails with cc recipients no longer fail to send.
- Very large email threads no longer break Pally's reading mid-task; it retries with a lighter fetch.
- Fixed a technical error that occasionally made a daily digest fail to arrive.
- Removed a leftover quiet-hours setting from the dashboard that no longer did anything.
- Founding users' plan status now correctly reflects what they can do, like making calls.
- Asking Pally to chase someone now wires the follow-up to your actual conversation with that person, so reminders reach them.
- Fixed a rare bug where Pally could send you a private note to itself instead of an actual reply.
- Fixed telling Pally your name or email silently failing to save for new users.
- Changing a reminder time mid-setup no longer leaves you with two reminders.
- Replies that promised work ("building it now") and then went silent are fixed: long answers no longer cut off mid-task.
- Recurring automations that needed a quick lookup first now actually get created, instead of Pally claiming they were "queued up".
- One-time reminders now survive inactivity and temporary delivery failures, and an explicit pause always wins.
- Removed a hidden three-notification limit; Pally waits only when the messaging provider has actually refused delivery.
- Email automations now use exactly the tools your connected account really has, even for very long tool catalogs.
July 8, 2026
New features
- You can now ask Pally to capitalize properly. Pally texts in lowercase by default, but say the word and every reply switches to sentence case - reminders and alerts included.
- Pally can now run multi-step plans: ask for something that spans people and replies, like booking with whoever answers first, and it tracks the steps and reports honestly.
- You can now connect Apple (iCloud) Calendar by asking Pally in chat or from my.pally.com. Pally reads your calendars, checks availability, and adds events after a yes.
- Pally quietly picks up useful things from your busiest group chats about once a week.
Improvements
- Pally now checks your recent messages across iMessage, WhatsApp, and email before nudging you or answering for you, so if you already settled something in another chat it knows.
- When you change your mind about something in progress, Pally's memory catches the reversal and updates what it believes, instead of keeping the old plan alive.
- Tell Pally about a life change, like moving cities, and it updates its memory on the spot.
- Pally's memory stays cleaner on its own: duplicates stop piling up, stale time-bound facts expire, and news trivia is not stored as personal memory.
- Pally now finds memories by meaning, not just matching words.
- Pally's own phone number and email address are now part of Pally Max. Leaving Max turns those contact points off while the rest of your plan keeps working.
- When your Mac companion is offline, asking about iMessage gets a straight answer that your Mac is disconnected, instead of the request just failing.
- Brief WhatsApp hiccups are retried automatically, so momentary blips are less likely to fail a question.
- When Pally cannot read your iMessages because of a problem in the companion app itself, it says so plainly and points you to the latest download.
- Immediate alerts are reserved for truly urgent items; other important news waits for the morning brief.
- Failed sends now retry once automatically before Pally reports a failure.
- Message drafts always say exactly who they will go to.
- The dashboard greets you by your actual name once Pally has learned it, instead of your phone number.
Bug fixes
- Connecting WhatsApp no longer asks for your phone number when Pally already has it, even after a pairing code expires.
- Asking Pally to delete your data now actually works, from chat, dashboard, or support. If anything goes wrong, Pally says plainly that nothing was deleted.
- Telling Pally to stop asking about "gmail" (and similar shorthand) during setup now records the right preference instead of erroring.
- Marking a recently learned memory as "not right" now opens the correction box right away.
- Sharing your location on iMessage is picked up right away instead of minutes later.
- Disconnecting a browser login or connected app now removes it from the dashboard instead of leaving a dead entry.
- Long replies no longer cut off mid-sentence.
- The same message can no longer send twice after a crash.
July 7, 2026
New features
- Pally can now text people and take actions live during a call: a spoken yes sends it right then.
- Pally can now list your recent calls and pull any call's transcript.

- Pally can now create Google Calendar events and invite people by email, after showing you exactly what it will create.

- Pally Max calls keep going past the included 2 hours; extra time bills per minute, with a heads-up text.

Improvements
- "Call me" rings you immediately, and retrying a call you just approved dials straight away.
- Call summaries now come from the real transcript, not template text.
- Voicemail is detected more reliably, and Pally reports what message it left.
- A quick "yep" can no longer send an old draft: stale drafts get re-checked with you first and expire if unanswered.

- Declining a draft with "no, do this instead" gets both parts handled.
- Contact details from WhatsApp and iMessage show up several times faster after connecting.

- Mac pairing codes now last 20 minutes and cannot get lost or replaced before you use them.
- Alerts stay current: if plans change right after Pally flags a thread, it follows up with the update.
- Pally skips the "want me to respond?" nudge when you already replied yourself.
- Alerts spell out dates plainly, like "tue jul 7", instead of a stale "tomorrow".
- Asking to use a specific email account by address finds the right one, and mismatches list your real accounts.
- Pally asks where you are based when it does not know your timezone, unlocking your daily brief and local-time reminders.
- Connected accounts show which account they actually are, everywhere.
- Pally now finds the right person even from a misspelling or a description like "my climbing friend".
- Sending a message works from just a name: Pally finds the right chat itself and only asks on a genuine tie.
- Asking Pally to message someone during a call finds the right person reliably, even when the line garbles the name.
- Results of in-call requests come back on the call itself more often, not as a text after you hang up.
- Requests during a live call get the same smart model that handles your texts.
- Pally now always calls plans by their full names, like Pally Pro and Pally Max.

- Group send approvals are one-time only, never standing permission.
- Confirmed calls now start on the first yes.
- Call summaries are more accurate on bad connections, voicemail, and carrier errors.
Bug fixes
- Confirming a draft gets a straight "sent", not a false "I may not have completed that".
