August 2026

New features, improvements, and fixes shipped to Pally this month.

August 25, 2026

Improvements

Automations and website errands now use less of your allowance through faster checks, lighter browsing, and more accurate web-cost tracking.

August 24, 2026

Improvements

Morning briefs now gather a fuller recent picture before writing, so busy days keep important messages, meetings, and follow-ups without repeated lookups.
You can now search across every connected email inbox in one request.
Your weekly what's-new update now leads with the changes most relevant to you, not just the newest ones.
Check-ins and task follow-ups now stay quiet when nothing changed, saving your usage for work that matters.
Website errands got smarter: Pally remembers each site's quirks - like a stubborn calendar widget - so the next visit skips the struggle.
A long website task that hits its limit now pauses with its page saved and continues from that exact spot instead of starting over.
Long-running tasks send short real progress updates about what is actually happening, not just "still working".
If Pally's main AI provider has an outage, live requests switch to a backup model instantly instead of failing.
Morning briefs skip routine sign-in notices, unremarkable meetings, and invites with nothing to decide - only items you would act on today earn a line.
Point Pally at an MCP server you run yourself and it connects after one heads-up about credentials, instead of declining.
The extra "-> sent" and "-> waiting on your go-ahead" status lines are gone; Pally's own reply carries the outcome.

Bug fixes

A newer message that changes or stops an action now prevents Pally from claiming the older action succeeded.
Delivery receipts now keep their final state when provider events arrive out of order.
Retried files now return to the same chat and channel that requested them.
Page access stays correct when several membership updates happen at once.
A reply that gets rewritten before sending can only mention actions that actually ran; rewrites no longer invent fresh follow-ups.
A provider outage on Pally's side can no longer be misreported as a problem with your account or a website's sign-in.
Saying "no" while Pally is mid-task now stops the action before it runs instead of arriving a moment too late.
One yes is enough: if a website session times out before your approval lands, the retry keeps your approval instead of asking again.
Photo and file sends never claim a delivery that is not confirmed, and undelivered attachments are detected and re-sent.

August 23, 2026

Improvements

Free and Pro plans include more monthly usage before any limits apply.
The moment you reach your monthly included usage, Pally now tells you what changes and the exact date it resets - no more silent slowdowns.
Built-in checks like birthday and travel reminders now skip quietly when there is nothing to check, leaving more of your included usage for real work.
Incoming messages are reviewed once instead of several times over, making message alerts cheaper without missing anything.
Relaxed, casual chats automatically run on a leaner, faster model, so your included usage goes further.
Verification codes Pally forwards now arrive as their own message, so one tap copies exactly the code.
Tell Pally something changed - like moving to a new city - and every later answer updates; outdated facts stop resurfacing, and "forget that" works.
Ask "what's still outstanding?" and the answer comes from your live task list, including follow-ups Pally is watching for you.
Deliveries, promises, and replies Pally tracks now update the moment they happen, and only the matching item changes.
During provider hiccups, background work quietly retries and picks up where it left off instead of rushing out a degraded result.

Bug fixes

Approval rules you enable now reliably auto-approve their matching actions; when a rule cannot apply, Pally says exactly why.
Internal system tokens are stopped before they can ever reach you as a message.
A budget override now always adds room on top of your plan and never lowers what the plan already includes.
Scheduled updates like morning briefs recover from a rare mid-run rejection instead of quietly skipping that run.
A message that failed to send is never reported as sent, and the failure shows up honestly with a way to retry.
Correcting the recipient mid-draft now sticks: the message can no longer go to the person you corrected away from.
Approving a draft you were shown earlier works in one step again, and every draft queues exactly one approval.
Content inside emails, pages, or tool results can never trigger Pally to send a message on its own.
Feedback you give an automation now actually reaches and improves it.

August 22, 2026

New features

Before a purchase, Pally now checks everything it needs - saved login, payment method, verification - and asks for anything missing in one message.
Files Pally finds in your Google Drive or creates itself now save with a reusable reference, so they attach to any email or form without re-uploading.

Improvements

Saying yes binds to the exact draft you saw: an older message can never approve a newer draft, and a wrong chat target is caught before you approve.
Calendars Pally can't edit, like imported Partiful events, now say so up front along with what works instead - no more retry loops.
Correct a draft's tone once and it sticks: tone notes now save per contact and shape every future draft to that person.
Ambiguous WhatsApp groups now show who is in them, so the right group gets picked the first time.
Billing answers now come from your real charge history, and the billing page says plainly where to cancel.
A sign-in code you text now goes into the same browser session that asked for it, so one code finishes the job.
Each website Pally signs into keeps its own browser profile, so repeat visits stay signed in and skip repeat verification codes.
After you add funds for a purchase, Pally quietly retries it and confirms when it goes through - no more asking whether the payment page worked.
Pally's memory is more dependable: standing rules you set are always honored, important facts stick, and outdated ones fade.
Live sign-in links are retired: Pally signs in with your saved vault logins instead, and old links now explain that plainly.

Bug fixes

Pally no longer confirms a reminder it did not actually save; a missed save is caught the moment it happens.
Turning suggestions off now also stops the getting-started tips.
Deleting a saved login now also removes the browser profile Pally created from it.
Updates deferred while you were mid-conversation now keep their original purpose when they arrive.
Standing rules stay in their own always-followed section of Pally's memory instead of being copied into profile notes.

August 21, 2026

New features

Pally events: ask Pally about upcoming Pally-hosted events, RSVP right from chat, and get a QR ticket for the door.
Pally notices when you save a new contact and offers to remember who they are or set a keep-in-touch reminder.
At your plan's connection limit, ask Pally to swap one connected app for another and it happens in one step.
Pay-as-you-go for Pally Max: past your included allowance, keep going with prepaid credits added in small increments. One approval covers auto top-up, you can switch it off anytime, and work never stops mid-task.
One simple monthly usage allowance now covers everything Pally does for you - chat, automations, background work, and lookups - shown in easy percent terms instead of confusing separate budgets.
You can now call Pally on every plan, with a fair monthly allowance of call minutes included.
Pally now handles web errands end to end: it signs in with your saved logins, pays with your vault card or a one-time card, remembers your delivery addresses, and texts you a photo of the cart for approval before it pays.

Improvements

Browser screenshots and email proofs now save as tidy PDF files, ready to file into your Drive.
Several photos or files sent in one go now get a single reply for the whole set instead of an answer per item.
Saying yes to a queued message now counts the first time, even when the draft sat for hours - no more repeated approval asks.
Telling Pally to stop now silences everything, morning briefs and meeting prep included, until you turn them back on.
WhatsApp answers now say how fresh and complete the chat history they read was.
Pally knows exactly which numbers it texts from and can call out a message pretending to be from Pally.
Pally Max is now half its previous price, and existing Max subscribers were moved to the lower price automatically.
Long research and browsing errands now survive updates and interruptions: Pally resumes where it left off and always reports back instead of going quiet.
Estimates for how long background work will take are now honest about longer tasks.
Pally's own email address now uses your name when possible, so new addresses are easy to recognize and share.
When your allowance runs out, chatting with Pally keeps working and Pally explains what paused and when it resets; background work waits until your plan renews.
Everyone already past the new allowance this month got a one-time boost until their plan renews, so nothing stopped on day one.
Replies inside connected AI apps (like Claude) now arrive exactly as Pally wrote them, with no added commentary.
Approval rules now cover scheduled emails: a campaign you pre-approved sends on schedule without asking again for each message.
Briefs and proactive updates wait for a pause in your conversation instead of interrupting mid-exchange.
You can turn the "Sent with Pally" email line on or off from your dashboard.
When your plan changes or a gift ends, Pally mentions your referral link so you know how to earn credit.
Group chats jump into games and memes on the first ask and remember notes about each member.

Bug fixes

Sending a question and a follow-up seconds apart no longer gets an answer that misses the second message - Pally combines them into one reply.
A failed send now produces one clear note naming the message, instead of repeated vague alerts.
Deleting your data now also ends the getting-started tips.
Your saved email signature choice applies to every send.
Reconnecting an app from the dashboard shows a clear retry instead of a generic error.
Mac terminal approval rules now cover commands run from any folder inside an approved project.
Adding an attachment to a pending email now updates the right draft and shows the actual sender.
Web purchases now complete reliably after your yes, and a matching cart no longer gets refused over wording differences.

August 20, 2026

New features

Connect Pally to AI apps that support MCP connectors, like Claude: link with a short code you text to Pally, then chat with your Pally from inside the app.
Pally can now look at photos in your Apple Photos library, so what it says about your pictures comes from the photos themselves, and what it learns sticks.
Ask for several photos and they now arrive together in one set, in the order Pally describes them.
Pally now notices the jobs it does best for people like you and can offer to set one up, like an inbox command center or a family planner, starting with a real first result.
Your dashboard has a new "Ways Pally can help" section with suggestions drawn from how you already use Pally.

Improvements

Links to places now arrive as short, friendly links that open cleanly in your maps app.
Multi-part web questions search in parallel and come back faster.
Email alerts now notice replies to threads you are waiting on, and alert explanations stick to what the email actually says.
Approvals and drafts hold up better in long conversations, and emailed timestamps now show in your local time.
Background work now uses the right level of AI for your plan and each job, so routine work uses less of your allowance.
Repeating custom automations can now learn a safe faster check after successful runs, while uncertain results still get a full review.

Bug fixes

Email approvals now always show the subject and every attachment with its filename, and asking Pally to re-queue the same email no longer creates a second approval.
Photos sent from your library can be saved and re-sent again.
A quick typo correction right after a question no longer triggers a second full answer.
Large task lists no longer force every incoming message through the full task-watcher review.
Fixed an outage that stopped morning briefs, check-ins, reminders, and other proactive updates from arriving.

August 19, 2026

New features

Pally can now really edit photos you send: change hair or clothing, swap a background, or remove objects, not just crop and resize.
You can now give an attachment a clean filename when Pally emails it for you.
Pally now transcribes voice notes it reads in WhatsApp and iMessage, keeps the audio, and makes the transcript searchable.
You can now sign up for one specific thing, like daily affirmations or important-email alerts, and Pally sets it up in your very first conversation.

Improvements

Pally's first hello now offers one clear starting point: connect an app for an immediate payoff, or hand over the admin task you hate doing most.
Background tasks now use the right level of AI for each job, so routine work uses much less of your plan allowance.
Flight searches now keep every live option and show complete outbound and return flight details.
Web errands like sign-ins and checkouts get past more site protections and recover from stalls more reliably.
Pally can now save and edit much larger files sent in chat.
Approval rules you set now apply to automations and background work too, so pre-approved sends go out without asking again.
Reminders only count as done once the message has actually reached you, and they arrive even when other nudges are turned down.
Email searches now read every matching message instead of stopping early, and hand truly huge jobs to a background task.
If you prefer single-message replies, they now arrive as one message everywhere, including watched conversations.
iMessages approved while your Mac is offline now send automatically when it reconnects, exactly once.
Connection pages recover in place: if a sign-in fails you can retry right there, and apps that cannot connect yet are no longer offered.
Pally reports what actually happened: an action it cannot confirm is never described as sent or failed.
Web research keeps working when a search provider runs out of capacity, and says which source answered.

Bug fixes

Editing and deleting Apple Calendar events works again.
Your plan now shows correctly when Pro came from a referral or a gift, with its end date, and a gift month cannot be applied twice.
Terminal commands you already approved no longer ask again because of a home-folder path or a similar command name.
Pally keeps your role straight in the deals and documents it reads, so it stops mixing you up with the other side of a conversation.
Email approvals now always show the attachments being sent, and appear fully in your language.
Fixed a rare case where a sent email was reported as failed, which could cause a duplicate send.
Background tasks paused by plan limits now resume reliably after your budget resets.
Progress updates in group chats no longer cause an extra follow-up message.
Briefs are better at not repeating items you have already seen.

August 18, 2026

New features

You can set each automation's priority and see its requested and effective cadence in chat or the dashboard.

Improvements

New conversations start with one useful task or a reply-ready example instead of a setup interview.
Pally now weighs recent interruptions, quiet hours, waiting approvals, notification preferences, and automation priority before sending discretionary alerts.
Broad connected-app searches now explain what Pally checked and whether the result was complete, partial, or unavailable.
Questions about your location and recent meetings now get instant answers instead of waiting on background work.
If an AI provider hiccups mid-reply, Pally now recovers in the same turn instead of going quiet.
Long conversations stay focused, and detailed guidance loads only when it is relevant.

Bug fixes

Weekly Pally updates now keep their useful detail and arrive as separate, readable bullet messages.
Splitwise no longer appears as connectable while its sign-in is unavailable.
Separate reminder times no longer disappear as duplicates, and a quiet chat no longer pauses your automations.
Replacement verification codes coalesce cleanly, while reusable passwords and other lasting secrets are never relayed as one-time codes.
Questions about a waiting approval cannot send it accidentally, and an expired referenced draft is recreated before Pally asks again.

August 16, 2026

Improvements

Adding Pally to a group chat works right away again, and its replies land in the right thread.
App-connect links no longer expire on you: every link now opens a page that keeps working, with a retry button right there. Pally also stopped pushing replacement links when you haven't clicked yet.
Checkout and sign-in errands in Pally's browser are steadier: sessions recover from brief hiccups instead of starting over.

Bug fixes

Fixed Apple Calendar reads that could fail intermittently.
Asking Pally to disconnect an app now finds the right control every time.

August 15, 2026

New features

When a command on your Mac asks for a password or other input, Pally now hands you a secure one-time page to type it from anywhere, and feeds it straight to the waiting prompt.
Custom pipelines Pally builds can now finish app sign-ins without your terminal: providers redirect to a secure Pally page and your pipeline picks up the result automatically.
Pally can now write API keys and credentials directly into a project's settings file on your Mac, without the values ever appearing in chat.

Improvements

Important-email alerts now arrive within seconds of the email landing.
When several messages arrive while Pally is replying, you now get one coherent answer that covers them all, instead of dropped or repeated replies.
Approving a drafted message is sturdier: an approved draft sends reliably, even when you approve it a while later.
Pally now stays aware of a much larger approval queue, so batch work like queuing 100 LinkedIn rejections stays organized with one tidy summary instead of a wall of texts.

August 14, 2026

New features

Every Sunday evening, Pally now sends you a short recap of what shipped in Pally that week. You can pause it anytime.
Full auto mode is here: with one clear confirmation, Pally can act for you without asking each time, within spending limits you set. Everything it does on its own shows in a new Activity feed on your dashboard, and you can say "pause full auto" anytime.
You can now set standing permissions in plain language, like "coding work never needs approval, but always check before messaging anyone", and Pally follows them everywhere.
Pally now has a secure page for handing over API keys and passwords, so you never paste secrets into chat. Keys are checked the moment you provide them, and you can see and revoke them from your dashboard.
When Pally builds you a custom pipeline, it can use Pally's own transcription and summarization, so you don't need your own AI accounts.

Improvements

Building things with Pally on your Mac asks for permission far less: one project approval covers the work, simple look-only checks always run, and long builds no longer get cut off early.
New app integrations are quicker and less fiddly: Pally verifies its approach will work before building and collects everything it needs from you up front in one list.
Pally now texts you the moment an important email lands, like a document to sign, a payment problem, or a direct ask from a real person.
Alerts arrive once per item, and Pally no longer follows up on its own unless you asked it to keep chasing something.
Your morning brief is leaner: no more counts of skipped items, lists of lingering open loops, or housekeeping notes.
Pally no longer alerts you about notifications sent by your other AI assistants.
Temporary requests like "mute alerts for 24 hours" now expire on time instead of sticking around.

Bug fixes

Fixed repeated retry notices about a message that was never actually queued.
Several waiting confirmations now arrive as one reminder instead of a string of separate texts.

August 13, 2026

New features

You can now book the exact flight you picked in chat: Pally sends a secure checkout that opens on your chosen flight at the live price, then confirms the booking and tracks changes. Cancellations refund straight back to your card.
Email signatures are here: manage your Gmail and Outlook signatures from your dashboard, let Pally suggest one from your past sent emails, and new emails Pally sends use them automatically.

Improvements

Connected-app status now keeps public read sources available and labels every WhatsApp account clearly, even when an account has no custom name.
Outlook signature detection now retries temporary provider failures and never overwrites a signature you save while detection runs.
HTML emails keep their formatting while removing internal identifiers and implementation errors before Pally sends them.
Booking a flight is smoother and safer: checkout opens with your details pre-filled, times show in each airport's local time, and a booking that fails after payment refunds automatically.
Pally can now clear big batches of LinkedIn connection requests in one go, and calmly explains when it spreads actions out to protect your account.
Pally stays sharp through AI-provider outages: backup replies keep full quality and work in progress carries over instead of failing.
Results from WhatsApp and other connected apps come back complete and readable, so Pally reasons from cleaner information.
Pally reports connections more truthfully: Apple Mail and Calendar count correctly, and "connected" reflects live proof, not just saved setup.
Calendar reads keep useful event links while bounding huge attendee lists, so one crowded event cannot hide the rest.
Pally now gives accurate Mac companion directions for setup, updates, and quitting through the Pally icon in the menu bar.
Coding tasks keep reporting progress through companion app updates, and can use temporary scratch files without asking approval for each one.
The exact text you approve is the exact text that sends, never a paraphrase.
Verification codes Pally relays keep their context line, and when your Mac is offline Pally always tells you a request is queued.
Pally never mistakes its own texts for spam, and its phone-line health monitoring got stronger.
Location sharing now runs fully through Pally's new iMessage provider; affected users got a one-time prompt to share again.
Emails Pally sends from your Gmail or Outlook now carry a small "Sent with Pally" link, so recipients can discover Pally.

Bug fixes

The email signature editor now locks while it saves or removes a signature, so changes made during the request cannot disappear.
Fixed a stretched Apple ID field on the dashboard's Apple connection form.
Saying yes to a queued message just works: one confirmation sends it, a simultaneous text can't drop your answer, and a queued send can no longer quietly expire unasked.
Coding tasks can finish the whole job: sessions can ask permission to push branches and open pull requests, long sessions no longer hit a silent time limit, and any base branch spelling works.
Pally now notices when a coding task is stalled or waiting on your approval and tells you how to continue.
Outlook calendar searches match attendee names, and empty results from large reads no longer look like missing data.
Outlook calendar reads show the correct recurring events, exact totals for large date ranges, and correct times for events saved with Windows-style timezones.
Deleting your Pally account no longer silently blocks signing up again with the same phone number, and deletion removes your name and contact details right away.
Backup AI keeps custom automations running during provider outages.
Existing iMessage group chats stay connected when Pally moves a phone line to its new messaging provider.
Asking Pally to delete your account, unsubscribe, or connect an app now reliably reaches the right action.
The same verification code is never relayed twice in a row, and repeating background updates are deduplicated.
Stronger filters keep internal notes, placeholders, and system phrasing out of your messages, and offline errors name the right thing.

August 12, 2026

New features

Pally now works with Microsoft 365 and Outlook calendars: reading your schedule, briefing your day, prepping meetings, and creating events, just like Google and Apple.
You can now stop or redirect a longer errand while it runs: say "stop looking" or "actually only Italian places" and Pally adjusts on the spot.
When Pally shows you options like restaurants or hotels, it can include photos.
Custom automations can now send photos, files, and tapbacks, and generate images, just like the main chat.
In group chats, generated videos and songs can be delivered in the thread or privately to just you.
Pally can now send Apple Calendar invites with real invitation emails, and create true all-day events.
You can now connect Square: appointments, payments, and customer info, with your confirmation before any change.
Coding sessions now live in their own tidy Pally folder on your Mac: each task gets a fresh copy cloned from GitHub, and the first task on a repo asks which branch to build from and remembers.

Improvements

Smarter Outlook email alerts: Pally checks the whole thread, including your replies, so it stops nudging about emails you already handled.
Longer errands are faster and more communicative: several checks run at once, the best options arrive within minutes, and progress updates and time estimates are honest and specific.
Pally is better at finding the right capability for a request, so actions no longer disappear behind a wrong "I can't do that".
Connecting Apple is more forgiving: an early-pasted app password is still captured securely, and disconnecting says up front that iCloud mail, calendar, and contacts share one connection.
Pally remembers how you want it to talk to you, from style preferences to your language, across tips and background messages too.
Send confirmations are now bulletproof: every send carries a receipt from the real send record, shown once with the recipient's real name, so Pally can never claim something went out when it didn't.
Merging two contacts now asks you to confirm the exact records first.
Pally repeats itself less: connection updates arrive as one message, unanswered check-ins stop repeating identically, and watchers that promise to check less often actually do.

Bug fixes

Fixed a setup gap where some users never got their morning brief created; once Pally knows your city, your brief starts and saved alerts reach you.
Approving a queued message is dependable: no endless re-asking, a quick follow-up text can't drop your yes, the draft is always shown, and waiting messages never quietly time out.
Contact records stay clean: no duplicate contacts from partial names, renames that wiped summaries, invented reminders, or facts folded onto the wrong person.
Multi-day trips and all-day events show the right end date everywhere, and birthdays show in your own timezone.
Briefs finish their own pass and never silently skip a day.
Emails can't mention an attachment that isn't attached, and a send from a specific account uses exactly that account or checks with you first.
Replies no longer arrive late behind an internal double-check retry, and background errands finish their write-ups reliably.
A connected app stuck showing as disconnected after a setup glitch now restores itself.
Forwarded verification codes always arrive complete: the code plus what it's for.
Fixed Mac disconnect failing at the last step, a rare iCloud hiccup duplicating a calendar event, some phone calls failing to start, and an iMessage bug where an international number without its leading plus sign broke proactive messages.
Reminders always produce a message at the promised time, generated images are confirmed delivered, and a misconfigured group chat gets told about instead of silence.

August 11, 2026

New features

Pally can now actually read what your coding sessions are saying: ask "what did the review find?" and it quotes the real output, and it alerts you promptly when a session finishes or needs you.
You can now pick the AI model for a coding session, and Pally shows which model each session runs.
Pally is much better at public research: Reddit, TikTok, Google Maps listings and reviews, Amazon products and prices, plus deeper company and people research.
Pally can now read YouTube video transcripts: send a link and ask for a summary.
You can now ask Pally to generate AI videos and full songs, approving the exact price first, billed at provider cost with no markup.
Pally now picks up your birthday from your conversations in any language and saves it to your profile.

Improvements

Every connected app now has a proper disconnect from chat, deleting its kept data and stopping the background helpers that depend on it.
Automation feedback is smarter: "stop pulling from Slack" adjusts the automation the way you meant.
Morning briefs remember what was recently resolved, so Pally won't chase something it already settled.
Proactive alerts always carry the substance of what Pally found, not just a suggested reply.
Approval requests spell out exactly who a message is going to before you say yes.
Connection status is clearer and more honest, and plan limits and pricing read accurately in your currency.

Bug fixes

Connections are steadier: a brief Apple hiccup no longer demands a new app password, silently broken apps get noticed proactively, and half-finished connections complete themselves.
Nothing sends without a clear yes to that exact action, and an approved action actually runs instead of expiring or getting lost.
Pally checks its own work before claiming something was sent or saved, and failed background work always tells you what happened.
Fixed Apple Calendar event updates and deletions, and stopped duplicate events.
Messages are cleaner in your language: no internal shorthand, raw codes, untranslated template lines, or stray foreign snippets.
Texting STOP after an unprompted message now immediately pauses proactive messages.
Proactive updates repeat less: no identical hourly lists, duplicate notices, or surprise pairing codes.
Fixed group chats that never replied because of how their chat identity was registered.
Coding task status is truthful about lost sessions instead of showing "running" for days.

August 10, 2026

New features

Flight booking is back: real bookable options, a secure checkout link, automatic confirmation, and Pally watches for airline changes to your trip.
Pally can now use your Mac for you, right from chat: look at the screen, click and type, open apps, and run commands, with you deciding how much runs without asking first.
Coding sessions now survive the Mac companion app restarting.
You can now connect Granola and X straight from the dashboard's app catalog.

Improvements

Pre-meeting briefs are much richer: each person's background, notable writing, press, recent posts, and what you have in common.
GitHub coding tasks work with whichever coding agent you use: @codex, @copilot, or any other bot, not only @claude.
Questions about a specific link come back quicker, and a smarter web reader gets past more blocked pages to the actual article.
Every connected app shows which account it belongs to, and Pally knows each connected email account's address.
Connection answers are live: LinkedIn pairing status included, and Apple health checks test your real credentials.
Browser errands now open phone-sized pages, so a tab Pally hands you fits your screen and you can actually see and type.
Removed the Sunday evening weekly recap message; Pally now only reaches out when there is something genuinely useful to say.
Pally paces its LinkedIn activity to protect your account, only reads your own network, and tells you when a rate-limited request is queued and for roughly how long.

Bug fixes

Coding sessions only ask before real changes (reading is always safe), and session status is accurate instead of a stale "starting up" or a stuck "running".
Fixed a confusing error page that could appear right after successfully connecting an app.
Background research reads your connected work apps directly instead of browsing the public site, and notices connections with missing permissions.
Fixed tagging Pally in a group showing it typing and then never replying.
Older connected accounts now show which account they are instead of a generic name.
Pally confirms LinkedIn actually completed a message or connection request before saying it's sent.

August 9, 2026

New features

Pally Max users can have Pally act on every new email or message automatically; other plans can do the same on an hourly schedule.
Coding sessions gained full lifecycle controls: run Claude Code or Codex, say "let it run" to skip step-by-step approvals, run battery-quiet sessions, cancel or remove sessions with full cleanup, and idle projects tidy themselves up after a heads-up.
Pally's background work now has full powers: long tasks finish jobs end to end with the same approval rules, instead of coming back read-only.
You can now hand Pally a whole list, like a hundred items to research, and it works through every one as a single long job with a first-example check-in.
After you connect your first account, Pally looks you up properly and opens with a friendly "here's what I found out about you".
You can now ask Pally to file a bug report: say "report this bug" and Pally records what went wrong for the team and confirms it's filed.

Improvements

Pally is much better at long, deep tasks: tight internal step limits are gone, and paid plans have much bigger monthly budgets for background work.
When something will take a while, Pally says so once up front, updates you only when something meaningful happens, and messages you when it's done. No filler.
Pally is much better at reading your LinkedIn, and it now watches LinkedIn for you: important DMs get flagged, your morning brief covers LinkedIn, and it catches up after your Mac was asleep.
Calendar answers are more reliable: leaner reads mean busy weeks and long event lists no longer get cut off.
Briefs are sharper: must-send briefs always arrive, they can mention what was filtered out as noise, and Pally checks whether you already handled something before reminding you.
When your proactive messages are paused, Pally offers to switch the right ones back on instead of promising alerts that can't fire.
Pally learns your name automatically from connected accounts, and asks early if it can't find one.
Big results from connected work apps come back clean and complete instead of cut off.
When Pally can't attach a finished file to your chat, it texts you the content itself.

Bug fixes

Missing Google permissions are caught right when you connect, instead of failing later.
Pally reliably finds its own tools for searching connected apps, instead of wrongly saying it can't.
Solo calendar events are truly attendee-free, and a Google Meet link is only added when you ask.
Pally tells you right away when it can't post to a group chat, and picks the right group when two share a name.
Location sharing under an Apple ID email now links up properly, and affected users get a check-in to reconnect it.
Receipt-forwarding automations actually forward instead of quietly expiring.
Pally digs in and retries before saying something isn't possible, and a retried action you already approved actually runs.
Pausing proactive messages covers every kind, stale "first look" recaps stopped, and a glitch that could cut a brief short is fixed.
Repeating events on your Apple Calendar show up on the right days.
Pally no longer says something was submitted while still working on it, and stopped offering features your plan doesn't include.
Scheduled tips got fixes: correct numbering, deferred tips still send, and a draft that would read as an internal note gets rewritten first.
Fixed garbled or missing Granola meeting reads, and an iCloud Mail glitch that wrongly called short emails empty.

August 8, 2026

New features

Pally now keeps real trackers for you: calories, workouts, medications, sleep, anything you'd use a spreadsheet for, with accurate totals and trends, browsable in your dashboard.

Starting coding agents is smoother: Pally knows which repos are on your Mac, offers to clone missing ones, and folder access sticks once approved.
Pally double-checks before nudging you: it re-reads the conversation, counts voice-note replies as replies, checks inboxes fresh, and accounts for time passed when drafting late replies.
Browser errands are more autonomous and honest: sign-in links only when needed, plain explanations when something goes wrong, and no refusing a confirmed checkout over harmless observations.
Pally comes back with something useful from your first connected account within minutes, and its first reply just does the thing instead of asking you to connect more first.

WhatsApp pairing instructions arrive as separate short texts so nothing gets lost.

August 7, 2026

August 6, 2026

New features

Plans with friends that still need a confirmation are a top priority over routine email noise.
When you travel, briefs, reminders, and "tonight" follow the timezone you're actually in.

Group chats: Pally chimes in whenever a message says its name, and a simple "yes please" confirms an automation change.

Important-email alerts cover all your connected accounts, judge each email the moment it arrives instead of on a delay, and use Pally's own judgment instead of rigid keyword filters.
Pally is better at understanding requests phrased your own way: connecting apps, current-info lookups, and dashboard asks rely on judgment, not keyword matching.
