Changelog

What's new in Pally: new features, improvements, and bug fixes, day by day.

Actively working on

• Pally handles everyday chat more efficiently while retaining reliable tool use.

• Pally checks listing photos before using them in recommendations.
• Pally creates richer files in isolated workspaces and delivers them in chat.

2026-09-11

Improvements

• Pally shows a draft once and never asks you to approve the same message again.
• When an approved send or delete does not go through, Pally tells you right away instead of reacting with a thumbs-up.
• A revised draft always reaches you; Pally no longer answers "revising" without the draft.
• WhatsApp messages report exactly what was delivered; a cut message is never reported as sent.
• Archived and moved Outlook emails are verified before Pally says they are done.
• Scheduled and email automations follow the current schedule and tell you when a send needs one approval.
• Browser errands keep going after a page fails to load and report the exact site error.
• Phone calls wait for the person to finish their greeting before Pally speaks.
• Ask Pally to stop reacting to messages and the reactions stay off.

Bug fixes

• Connecting Gmail, Google Calendar, Outlook, or Square no longer fails after a prior connection.
• Tapbacks show as reactions only; Pally no longer writes "you reacted" text in replies.
• Messages that got stuck in delivery are answered instead of dropped.
• Apple Calendar events are confirmed after creation, and Pally tells you if one did not stick.
• Referral credit and plan changes apply reliably, and stopping Pally messages also ends the paid plan.
• Emails no longer go out with placeholder text after a retry.
• Account deletion retries transient failures and records why a step failed.

2026-09-10

New features

• Pally watches booked flights for lower fares and seeks eligible travel credit online.
• Restaurant tables, event tickets, home listings, fare calendars, and retail prices load live from major sites without a slow browser session.
• Flights include bookable fares from a second supplier, each with its own secure checkout, listed with every other price for that trip.
• Browser errands reuse a verified way of using a site from an earlier visit and draw on shared public site observations.
• Entry to a Pally event needs one connected account plus your name, email, and company and role, or a LinkedIn link.

Improvements

• Verification codes you text for a custom MCP server are submitted right away.

• Replies use fewer internal verification steps while preserving confirmed actions and delivery checks.
• Pally can react with a fitting emoji while it works on your reply.
• Missed iMessages can be recovered after an interruption without repeating messages already handled.
• Flight confirmations use a branded Pally mailbox with readable details and local times.
• Browser errands preserve progress, recover after sign-in, handle site dialogs, and verify completed actions.
• Confirmed bookings and purchases report every detail you asked for, not just a short summary.
• Meeting briefs and posts you ask Pally to send arrive as one message, with any links last.
• Reading further pages of a connected account keeps the same account selected and never mistakes one page for the full result.
• Pally continues unfinished work after an interruption without asking you to resend the request.
• Pally can run independent errands together and return each completed result.
• Pally keeps each confirmation attached to the exact action while that work continues.
• Saved memory is easier to find, correct, and delete. You can also erase selected chat history.

Bug fixes

• Long email threads no longer stall background work.
• Texts to SMS contacts from your Mac explain a failed send accurately instead of claiming it went through, and reach green-bubble numbers.

2026-09-09

Improvements

• Pally can open PDF and other attachments from your Gmail messages.
• Sign-in links now state the time by which you need to open them, and Pally offers a fresh link after a missed one.
• Automation receipts show the saved schedule and run window with its timezone, so a requested timing change is confirmed or clearly not applied.

Bug fixes

• Automations that use a saved playbook run again; a catalog bug stopped them before sending.
• Email drafts always come back to you instead of a silent pause.
• Promised automation notifications arrive, and conditional alerts stay quiet only when their conditions fail.
• Voice notes and imported messages remain usable when storage or transport limits are reached.
• Calendar follow-ups keep the created event and email replies keep their source account.
• Appointment and sign-in guidance is grounded in confirmed records and live connection results.

2026-09-08

New features

• Teammates' Pallys can pick up a to-do you hand them. You choose which teammates may send, it runs in their own chat with their rules, and you get a one-line outcome back.

Improvements

• Upgrading mid-cycle now credits the part of your current allowance you did not use, the new plan starts fresh that day, and the confirmation states the charge, credit, and renewal date.
• Plan and referral notices are paced per line, and asking Pally to stop takes effect at once, before any follow-up question.

Bug fixes

• Email checks now show inbox status and retain verified results for each mailbox action.
• Pre-meeting briefs now cover busy calendars and keep valid meetings when a calendar read is incomplete.
• Replies and alerts now use the complete final answer, avoiding unfinished text from an intermediate step.
• Traffic pauses no longer silence reminders or trigger outage notices without evidence of a provider failure.
• Saved email drafts report success accurately, without unnecessary retries.
• Your personal page now loads its banner and illustrated observations reliably.
• Recurring emails keep the approved sender, reach the intended recipients, and report what actually sent.
• Pally sends complete replies and stays quiet while your number is repaired.
• Changing team instruction permissions preserves earlier declines.
• Team tasks resume after an interruption.
• Plan changes preserve your credit and keep one active subscription.
• Internal wake-up notes are never sent as messages.

2026-09-07

New features

• Your personal page: Pally writes about you in its own voice, with the people and moments it knows. A separate share card is the only thing a share link shows.

Improvements

• Pally keeps working a request through other routes and states only facts it actually found.
• Website errands: a browser held between steps now idles instead of running, so long tasks cost less.
• A site that asks you to sign in again inside a task is remembered, so Pally does not repeat that sign-in.
• Travel mode follows where you actually are. A trip closes when your location shows you are home, and your own word about your timezone counts.
• Memory keeps facts current. Each fact carries its evidence, and a newer fact replaces an older one on the same topic.
• Upgrading your plan mid-cycle changes your subscription in place and charges only the prorated difference.

Bug fixes

• Your account keeps one active plan, and a late payment preserves your usage window.
• Email searches now say whether each message is a draft, sent, or received, so an unsent draft is never counted as a reply you sent.
• Calendar reads exclude colleagues' shared calendars again and show each meeting's organizer and attendees, so a meeting you are not in is never called a conflict.
• Email and Slack alerts read the full thread again before deciding, so a reply you already sent is not flagged.
• A queued email or message draft appears once in a reply, even when Pally also asks about another action.
• Deleting a second email right after the first no longer gets stuck asking you to confirm again.
• A saved website sign-in that no longer exists sends you to a fresh sign-in instead of retrying forever.
• Spreadsheet updates are confirmed as saved instead of second-guessed when the sheet stores a date or number.
• Stopping reminders for a task you already finished no longer fails.
• Excel files with empty merged cells now open.
• Email and Slack alert decisions no longer fail when no saved notification rule applies to the message.
• Reading a WhatsApp chat now names the detail it needs instead of failing with an unclear scope error.
• LinkedIn reads say when your Mac companion app needs an update instead of showing a raw error.
• Automations that must notify you now finish their last step instead of failing.
• An automation that screens a message and acts in the same run no longer fails partway.
• A calendar or email permission error now stops the job and says what to reconnect instead of retrying.
• Automations that send or file email now use the right tool instead of failing.

2026-09-06

New features

• Ask Pally for a voice note or an audio reply, and it sends one in chat.
• Flights you can manage after booking: add bags and seats at checkout or later, change dates, answer an airline schedule change, hold a fare and pay later, and get a confirmation email. Travelers you have flown with prefill next time.
• Name your connected email accounts, pick one as the default, and choose per account whether Pally drafts replies. Each account keeps its own notification filter.
• Max users outside the US can get a local number for Pally's outbound calls.
• Send Pally a voice note and it reads the transcript.

Improvements

• When several email accounts are connected and none is the default, Pally asks which one to send from instead of guessing.
• Email approvals show just the recipient, subject, and your text, and Pally answers your yes or no right away.
• Email reads show recent messages with their attachments, and a search opens the exact message you name.
• Calendar reads list every event and pick up exactly where the last page ended.
• Drive: one search, uploads that tell you when a same-name file already exists, and files you can name or rename on the way in.
• Website errands move faster between steps. A saved sign-in signs you back in when a site asks again, and a one-time code from the site is relayed to you in chat.
• Background jobs deliver each follow-up result, and Pally keeps one list of what is still open.
• Pally answers questions about connected accounts and filters from a live read, not from memory.
• The task list states how many automations are active, and deleting an automation says it was deleted.

Bug fixes

• Sends that hit a temporary hiccup wait and retry instead of failing.
• A reconnected app shows the account you just signed in with, not the old one.
• A site that cannot be reached no longer triggers a new sign-in link.

2026-09-05

Improvements

• When a song or video generator declines a request, Pally tells you what happened and offers a next step, even if you were mid-conversation when the result came back.
• Songs now come from MiniMax: one complete song from your prompt and optional lyrics.
• Generated images now come from MiniMax, delivered as a photo in your chat as before.

Bug fixes

• Stale card reminders in older chats no longer block making a song or video.

2026-09-04

New features

• Connect Square and Pally can read your appointment calendar: ask for any day and it lists each booking with the client, service, and staff, ready to copy into your sheets or reminders.

Improvements

• AI music and video generation is included in every plan: songs and clips count toward your monthly usage allowance instead of asking for a card first.

2026-09-03

New features

• Pally Pages: ask Pally to build a small website, like an RSVP page, a scoreboard, or a signup sheet, and it hosts the page at your own pally.site address and updates it when you tell it something new.

Improvements

• Flight answers are now specific: each option shows the price, flight numbers, times, and every layover, with filters for airline, layover length, and departure time.
• Website sign-ins that pause on a verification step now hand that step to you instead of timing out, and a new link never replaces a sign-in already in progress. A sign-in in progress also survives a Pally restart and picks up where it left off.
• Calendar readouts now name the weekday with each date and say which calendar an event belongs to, so shared calendars are never mistaken for yours.
• Pally now knows what Outlook cannot do, like marking mail read or applying labels, and offers the supported alternative instead of promising it.
• Text Pally from a pally.com guide or recipe and it starts with the help that page promised.
• When your carrier may not be delivering Pally's replies, Pally says so plainly instead of guessing at a reason.
• Saved cards come straight from your live card vault, and the save-card link arrives ready to open.
• A card saved through the vault page now registers with Pally right away, so the errand that needed it can continue.
• Website sign-ins now stick: a browser task can no longer overwrite a saved sign-in, and the card-save link no longer needs an emailed code.
• Pally now runs every web task on one browser service. Sign-ins saved on the old service need one fresh sign-in.
• Pally now reacts to more of your iMessages with a fitting tapback instead of always replying in text.
• One usage limit per plan: when you reach it, chat keeps working on a faster model and background work waits for your renewal, an upgrade, or a raised limit. The separate spending cap is gone.
• If one connected account appears under two Pally numbers, Pally now asks which number to keep instead of mixing them up.
• Share your LinkedIn profile in chat and Pally actually looks it up; a corrected link replaces the old one instead of piling up.
• Reply to Pally inside an iMessage thread and the answer lands back in that same thread, even when it arrives while Pally is mid-task.
• Connecting WhatsApp: once you say you're on the link screen, Pally sends just the pairing code right away, with no repeated steps.

Bug fixes

• Approved songs and videos finish in the background and arrive in chat.
• Asking Pally to run a scheduled job again right now always delivers it, even when today's edition already went out.
• A reply Pally could not queue no longer surfaces as a database error; it says which email reference it needs.
• Group chats Pally has left no longer receive scheduled follow-ups.
• Reminders and scheduled jobs you set now always arrive; Pally can no longer decide to skip one at delivery time.
• Background heads-ups can no longer arrive as a stray internal word; the real note is sent instead.
• When Pally forwards a sign-in code from your email, the note now says the code follows instead of telling you to check your inbox.
• LinkedIn profile lookups that take longer than a minute now wait for the profile instead of reporting that nothing came back.
• Card details fit any checkout form, and stuck checkouts recover instead of stalling.
• A saved-card check that cannot reach the card vault no longer stops your task follow-ups; Pally uses what it already knows and tells you when a card needs re-checking.
• Pally checks its evidence before replying even when its model provider rejects a request or responds slowly, so it no longer reports an error it never hit.
• Deleting an account now also cancels its subscription, so a removed account is never billed again.

2026-09-02

New features

• When a website emails a sign-in code, Pally now fetches it from your connected inbox and enters it, so reconnecting saved sites finishes without you.

Improvements

• Text Pally while it works and it reads the new message right away, so an approved email goes out on the first yes and a thumbs-up never stalls it.
• Email approvals now list everyone on the To, CC, and BCC lines before you say yes.
• Replies come back faster on long conversations thanks to prompt caching.
• Website sign-ins repair themselves in the background and before errands start, and each website keeps one sign-in across its subdomains.
• Background work now rides out model-provider outages by switching to a backup route instead of giving up partway.
• After finishing a job for you, Pally may point out one useful next step, like connecting the account that unlocks the next one.
• Fewer hiccups behind the scenes: reminders, briefs, trackers, and email actions work the first time, and contact memory keeps up during busy syncs.
• Forwarded emails now say what they carry, and sending someone a document attaches the real file.
• Text Pally mid-task and it picks up where it left off, finishing the step it was on instead of starting over.
• Emails go out from the account the original message arrived on, and every approval shows the From address first.
• Email alerts follow your saved rules: an always-notify rule cannot be overridden, and quiet decisions stay quiet.

Bug fixes

• Pally no longer says an email is on its way before it is actually sent.
• Work Outlook alerts now fire on threads you started, matching Gmail.
• Deleting an Outlook email asks for the same confirmation as Gmail.
• Clearing a website sign-in now removes the saved credentials everywhere, and a site that truly needs you asks once instead of repeatedly.
• Auto-send rules now also apply when an approved email goes out as a reply in an existing thread, so scheduled batches stop stalling for confirmation.
• Fixed a bug that deleted new reminders and scheduled jobs moments after they were created and told you they never started; everything you set up now stays set up.
• Setting up a new account connection right after signing in no longer occasionally reports a failure for a connection that actually worked.
• Mailbox moves land where you asked; a moved email no longer lingers in the inbox.
• Pally texts you from your current Pally number, never an older one it once used.
• Scheduled follow-ups that missed their moment now expire quietly instead of arriving weeks late.
• Calendar events are created and deleted exactly once, even when Pally hits a hiccup right after the change goes through, so you never see a duplicate.

2026-09-01

Improvements

• Clearer, straighter answers when you ask how Pally handles your data or who is behind the product, including exactly who can see your messages.
• Pally's first message now does something useful right away: a working connect link, a concrete first offer, or one sharp question - never a wall of options.
• Recurring alerts and inbox streams start only after you say yes, and weekly updates go only to people actually using Pally.
• Setup codes arrive only when you're ready to enter them, setup links no longer dead-end, and choosing iMessage always gets a reply.
• Pally says something is connected, scheduled, or sent only after checking it actually is, and your first reminder or brief is verified to fire.
• "Ignore that topic" and "only message me when it's done" now stick everywhere, including briefs and watches.
• Everything Pally writes, and every draft it writes in your name, sounds more like a person.
• Send several asks at once and Pally sorts them cleanly: big research runs in the background and returns threaded to the right message, while quick questions get answered right away instead of dropped.
• A calmer first week: brand-new users get fewer unprompted pings, and setup that stalls picks itself back up.
• Pally now recognizes call screening and answers it, instead of treating the screener like voicemail.

Bug fixes

• Filing emails into folders now works every time, including moving a message out of spam straight into the right folder.
• Scheduled batches now start the moment their sending window opens and finish the whole list instead of quietly stopping partway.
• Approving a browser purchase after its checkout page expired now works: Pally rebuilds the exact approved page and completes the action instead of asking you to start over.
• New subscriptions now register reliably even when payment confirmations arrive out of order during signup.
• Saving a card no longer loops on a connect request, and checkout verification codes are picked up from your messages the moment they arrive.
• A promised goodbye now holds: once Pally says it will stop texting, nothing more arrives until you text first.

2026-08-31

New features

• Download a complete copy of everything Pally holds for you - conversations, memory, contacts, files and transcripts, tasks, and the record of what Pally did on your behalf.
• Account deletion now removes everything and verifies the removal completed - billing records the law requires and messages you shared into shared groups are the only carve-outs.
• A separate ask that needs real work can run alongside the current one, and its answer threads back to the message that asked.
• Your email signature now lands on replies and threaded drafts too, not just brand-new emails.
• Shop on your own store accounts: Pally signs in with your saved login and checks out with the card that store already has.

Improvements

• PDFs Pally builds for you now carry your photos and logos, not just text.
• Calls start crisply with no dead-air pause, and automated phone menus get real answers instead of stalling.
• Joining a team is easier: invite pages load reliably and phone numbers from any country work.
• Team calendars and automations stay scoped to their team, and leaving a team is handled cleanly.
• Phone calls sound more natural and stop cleanly the moment you cut in, with no lingering tail of stale audio.
• Pally's behind-the-scenes quality checks got more careful.
• Several alerts held during one busy stretch now arrive as one combined catch-up message once things settle.
• Replies that say a message was sent are now checked against what actually happened before they go out.
• Long, busy chats get read and summarized more reliably.

Bug fixes

• Alerts held while you are mid-conversation now always arrive once things settle instead of quietly disappearing.
• Texted login and 2FA codes now come through the moment they land, even while Pally is busy with other work.
• Sending several texts in a row no longer goes quiet: Pally acknowledges each interruption, folds corrections into the work in progress, and never throws away a finished answer.
• Standing rules that promise a timed follow-up now create a real schedule the moment you enable them, with a built-in double-check, so the promised nudge actually fires.
• Follow-up nudges reuse your original message's exact link and details instead of regenerating them.
• Questions about a standing rule's history are answered from its real record - when it was created, changed, and last used.
• Your texts no longer wait behind a long-running background job in the same conversation: long work steps aside and reports back when it finishes.
• Asking to file an email now truly moves it out of your inbox instead of only adding a label.
• One email now means one approval: duplicate copies of the same draft are gone, and a plain yes against several open asks no longer leaves emails stuck.
• Drive edits that would gut a document are held for your say-so, and Drive stops re-asking about the same change.
• Editing a Google Doc can no longer wipe its content: every edit is re-read and verified after it lands.
• Scheduling replies anchor to the message you just sent and re-check your calendar instead of answering from memory.
• Asking Pally to call you now works on every Pally number, and it answers honestly about what is callable.
• Approvals always show the current version of what will be sent, even after you change details mid-flow.

2026-08-30

New features

• React to messages with any emoji, and reply inside a message thread so your answer lands on the exact message it belongs to.
• Photos and files now reach SMS-only friends directly over MMS instead of as a link.
• Save a card once and approve each purchase with a quick Face ID tap on your phone.

Improvements

• Pally thinks harder before every reply.
• Ask what you have used and what is left, and the answer is exact, including the day your allowance resets.
• Top-up suggestions are now sized to how you actually use Pally.
• Seasonal jobs come back on their own: a job that ended for the season offers its next edition when the time returns.
• In your first week, Pally helps you set up one standing job that fits how you work.
• When an app will not connect, Pally offers a working alternative instead of a dead end.
• Reading an email now shows its attachments, so questions about attached files get real answers.
• Long website errands report what they are actually doing, keep their place through interruptions, and finish honestly.
• After a quiet stretch ends with finished work, Pally can offer one fitting next thing it can do instead of going silent.

Bug fixes

• Duplicate contact cards created by an old sync defect are cleaned up, and facts learned in chat now attach to the right person.
• Asking for quiet now sticks everywhere; stray notifications no longer slip out after you ask Pally to stop.
• Your plan's usage limits now apply consistently across scheduled updates, group chats, and system notices.
• Reminders that fired during a provider outage but never reached you can now be recovered and delivered instead of being lost.
• A wave of trust fixes from reading real conversations: fewer false confirmations, honest failure notices, and fewer repeated messages.
• Texting Pally from your email address now reaches your existing account instead of starting a blank new one.

2026-08-28

Improvements

• Group chats now read the room: replies match each group's energy and inside jokes.
• Outbound calls sound more human: natural pacing, graceful handling of holds and wary answerers, and no robotic artifacts.

Bug fixes

• Paying a credit top-up invoice yourself on the payment page now adds the credit to your balance and turns pay-as-you-go on right away.
• The first pay-as-you-go purchase no longer fails when your card is saved with your subscription.
• Long-time contacts are no longer announced as newly added: new-contact check-ins now mention only people you actually just met, and earlier wrong flags are cleared.
• Photos and files in chats save and send more reliably: fewer stuck or repeated operations, and storage-limit messages now state the real limits.

2026-08-25

Improvements

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

2026-08-24

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.
• 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.
• 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.

2026-08-23

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.
• 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".
• 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.

2026-08-22

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.

2026-08-21

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.

• Pally's own email address now uses your name when possible, so new addresses are easy to recognize and share.

2026-08-20

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.

2026-08-19

• 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.

• 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.

• Web research keeps working when a search provider runs out of capacity, and says which source answered.

Bug fixes

2026-08-18

2026-08-16

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.

2026-08-15

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.

• 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.

2026-08-14

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.

• 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.

2026-08-13

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.

2026-08-12

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.

2026-08-11

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.

2026-08-10

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.

2026-08-09

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.

• Solo calendar events are truly attendee-free, and a Google Meet link is only added when you ask.

• 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.

2026-08-08

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.
• Pally can now work with your LinkedIn through your paired Mac: reading DMs, helping with replies, sending after your approval, and finding connections by meaning.
• Send a PDF into a group chat and Pally can read it for everyone, including scanned documents with no text layer.
• Pally can now actually unsubscribe you from unwanted emails using the email's own unsubscribe mechanism, with a dashboard page listing every unsubscribe it has done.

Improvements

• Look-only commands on your Mac just run; anything that changes, sends, or deletes still asks first.
• Pally is much better at reading PDFs and documents: straight from Google Drive, through shared links, with the full text of long documents.
• Custom automations now have the same deep Slack and iMessage reading abilities as Pally itself.
• 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.
• Onboarding is smarter: tips pick up where you left off in your language, expired links get refreshed proactively, and Pally is upfront that the Mac companion needs only a couple of folder grants, never full disk access.
• WhatsApp pairing instructions arrive as separate short texts so nothing gets lost.
• When your feedback on a draft is ambiguous, Pally asks what you meant.

Bug fixes

• Alerts from a connected account can't silently stop: Pally notices a broken subscription, repairs it, and tells you if it can't.
• Scheduled recaps deliver the whole update you asked for.
• Rapid back-to-back texts read as one thought instead of "looks like your message got cut off".
• Reminders always carry the actual reminder text, never a stub like "done."

• A quick "ok" to a tip acts on that tip, and duplicate intros and connect links during your first days are gone.

2026-08-07

New features

• You can now personalize your referral link with a custom code; old links keep working.
• Ask Pally to refer a specific friend: it drafts a personal intro you approve and sends it from your own accounts, then closes the loop when they join.
• Pally can now work with your Apple Notes: grant its Mac companion just your Notes folder and you can search, ask about, create, and edit notes right from chat.

Improvements

• When something on Pally's side keeps failing, you hear about it each time you're affected, not once followed by silence.
• Pally is much less pushy about setup: no suggesting apps you've said no to, and connections only come up when actually needed.
• Browser sign-ins now persist across tasks, and shopping, tickets, and reservations get all the way to the final review step far more reliably, keeping their place through follow-ups like "actually make it two tickets".
• Pally always knows the full extent of what it can do: "can you...?" checks its real, live ability list.
• Hitting your monthly usage limit no longer cuts you off from chatting; Pally can explain what's paused and help you upgrade.
• Background work now runs on the same top-tier intelligence as live chat, and genuinely hard asks get deeper reasoning.
• Better recall in long conversations, and short follow-ups like "yes, book it" connect to what you were just discussing.
• Pally is more concise and faster: straight answers first, less waiting, and huge or stuck lookups no longer drag the whole reply.
• When you text something from your email, like a sign-in code, Pally sends just the answer without tacking on links.

Bug fixes

• Messages sent while your plan was fully paused now get answered when reduced service kicks in.
• Mac companion setup always includes the correct download link, and Pally double-checks its own links before texting them.
• "Checking now, back in a sec" is always followed by an actual check.
• A quick "yeah" can no longer approve an older queued message by mistake; approvals stick to what you're actually replying to.
• Location reminders say up front when Share My Location isn't set up, and start working the moment it is.
• Fixed browser tasks breaking entirely after a staged purchase expired unconfirmed.
• Quick reminders are precise: scheduled from the moment you asked, with mistakes caught before confirming.
• Pally can tell you exactly which automations count toward your limit, "try again" retries the thing you just asked about, and a stray "---" divider glitch is cleaned up.

2026-08-06

New features

• Pally now shares its contact card automatically with its first message.
• Pally can now run coding agents on your Mac: start Claude Code or Codex on separate copies of a project from chat, steer mid-run, and get pinged only when a session finishes, fails, or needs you. Risky commands ask first; sessions survive restarts.
• Pally in group chats now has the full toolkit: it can use your own connected apps on your own plan, with private answers to your DM and approvals still yours.
• Group chats got more personal: Pally can use your location for your own asks sharing only a general area, deliver sensitive files privately to your DM, and keep a real memory of the group's decisions and plans.
• Friends can join Pally right from a group chat with the usual referral perks, and anyone in a group can schedule personal updates posted into it.
• Pally can now send real photos: pictures of a restaurant or product arrive as actual photos, and recommendations come with a couple of photos for a feel.

• Your morning brief now tracks the few most important open loops for you, with a quick way to drop any.
• Pally now knows when its messaging provider has an outage and can warn you about delays.

Improvements

• Onboarding tips are friendlier and hands-on: each leads with Pally doing the thing for you.
• Updates in your own exact format keep your emojis and layout, and arrive as one message when you asked for one.
• Approval requests show what and to whom first, with "good to send?" at the end, and dictated exact messages send without re-confirming.
• When you tell Pally it missed an important email, it learns what mattered so the same kind gets surfaced next time.
• 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.
• Pally is quicker to say it's on it, and typing dots show only while it's actually writing.
• Group chats: Pally chimes in whenever a message says its name, and a simple "yes please" confirms an automation change.

• Ask about your LinkedIn network and Pally offers a real way to help via your connections export.
• Interrupted browser errands now pick up where they left off instead of starting over.

Bug fixes

• Pally's contact card always carries the exact number your chat is on.

• Auto-send contacts no longer stop to ask permission, and automations watching a specific email account fire reliably.
• Pally no longer mentions a suspicious "injection attempt" that never existed.
• Texts from your Mac use the contact's existing service (iMessage, RCS, or SMS) instead of always trying iMessage.
• Saying goodbye registers everywhere, so you stop getting active-user attention.

2026-08-05

• You can now connect Zoom for scheduling, updating, and cancelling meetings.

• Alerts and briefs now come with the work already done: a ready-to-approve draft or a concrete proposed time when someone's waiting on you, across email, WhatsApp, iMessage, and Slack.
• Pally keeps a precise log of every action it takes: ask "did you send that email?" and get a straight answer, including an honest "that wasn't me".

Improvements

• You can now text with Pally from Android phones: RCS and SMS as well as iMessage.
• The monthly caps on web research and browser tasks are gone on every plan.
• Web research is faster and more powerful, with stronger citations, and Pally can read many sites that used to block it.
• Email search on personal Hotmail and Outlook accounts digs much deeper and says how far back it looked.
• Codes you need to copy always arrive as their own message, and a stalled background job tells you instead of going quiet.
• When the same thing keeps needing attention, Pally suggests a lasting fix like a standing rule or unsubscribe.
• If a request needs a higher plan, Pally does the closest included version right away.
• Pally's tone is warmer and more personal, and it learns your tastes before booking or buying, asking once and remembering.
• Alert volume is smarter: it weighs how often it has already interrupted you, routes lower-priority items to your daily brief, and treats "quiet down" as a signal about all alerts.
• Calls pick up where your texts left off, and call summaries plainly say when an in-call request didn't go through.
• Pre-meeting briefs are sharper and cover same-day meetings too.
• Reminders and calendar saves retry through provider hiccups, and Pally replies a few seconds sooner to short questions.

Bug fixes

2026-08-04

New features

• New users get a short daily onboarding tip during their first days, each a concrete idea worth trying; existing users get the series once too.

Improvements

• Email and Slack watching is more dependable: subscriptions are verified at connect and re-checked afterward, so alerts can't silently stop.
• 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.
• Connected custom tools are much more reliable: inputs get checked against the tool's own rules first, and rejected steps get fixed instead of blindly retried.
• Pally is faster and smarter at finding files on your Mac, and more reliable at reading email, Slack, and calendar on the first try.
• Moving in from another assistant is smarter: only skills Pally can actually run come over, and dated notes are read with their date in mind.
• Reminders you've already handled won't fire anyway, and read-only tool steps stop asking approval at every step.
• More honest error messages, and notices about referral credits and call usage read like the rest of your conversation.
• Background work is more dependable during busy stretches, and carrier "message blocked" responses get useful next steps.
• Message alerts catch last-minute changes to today's plans without interrupting for routine chatter.
• Connecting WhatsApp is smoother: expired codes get replaced right away, the code arrives in its own easy-to-copy message, and the security notice is explained up front.
• "Stop texting me for now" pauses everything non-essential, and non-urgent updates wait until morning.
• You can move an approved scheduled message to a different time, including "just send it now".
• Calendar events got more capable: other calendars, repeating events, and reminders, with Meet links only on request.
• Honest calling answers: US-only calling stated up front, and you can test-call Pally anytime.
• Ask for a shared list or export and Pally offers a real shared Google Doc, Sheet, or Notion page it keeps updated.
• Pally won't lecture you about messages to your own friends, and tells you the real reason when a send isn't possible.
• Ask whether an automation actually ran and the answer comes from its real run history.

Bug fixes

• Pally no longer replies to carrier auto-messages, so a blocked number can't trigger an endless loop.
• Failed texts get retried automatically and only while still fresh, and Pally is truthful about which channel a message actually went through.
• Late-night "remind me tomorrow" requests get the exact date read back.
• Fixed an email alert that could text you a stray internal note like "not worth surfacing".
• First replies to brand-new users deliver reliably, and a failed first welcome gets a friendly next-day check-in.
• A garbled or unclear go-ahead gets a clarifying question instead of a send you didn't mean.
• Telling Pally to back off actually switches off nudges everywhere, and dismissing one message won't silence future alerts from that person.
• Fixed a Google connection trap where a missed permission checkbox looked fine and failed later.
• Pally no longer notifies you about its own messages, briefs respect their scheduled time, and you won't get two morning briefs.
• WhatsApp contact syncing survives partial failures without duplicating conversations.
• Free reservation requests can be approved like any other action, and editing one detail of a calendar event no longer touches the rest.
• Cleaner messages: no stray "*" bubbles or garbled dashes, and system notices arrive in your conversation's language.

2026-08-03

New features

• You can now connect Fathom, so Pally can look through your meeting recordings and summaries.
• During your first days, Pally occasionally suggests one thing worth trying based on what it's learned about you.

Improvements

• Approving a draft is much simpler: "sounds good" or a thumbs up just works, and repeated approvals can't double-send.
• Pally's first message gives you a quick sense of what it can actually do.
• Dashboard connections land you back on your integrations page, and browser-powered website checks run faster.

Bug fixes

• Fixed a rare crash that could make Pally go silent on a request, especially with shopping links in the reply.
• All-day calendar events save as true all-day entries.
• Fixed a bug where Pally could send two replies to the same message.

2026-08-02

2026-08-01

New features

• The pally.com website has a new Recipes section: ready-made routines you can start with one text, at pally.com/recipes.
• You can now give Pally one-time access to your whole home folder during Mac setup, and sign out of all devices at once from the dashboard.

Improvements

• Clearer Mac guidance: what to do when the folder-access window can't show, and when the companion app needs an update.
• Pally has much more room to finish long answers without being cut off, and the dashboard navigation got a cleanup.

Bug fixes

• Fixed Mac folder-access requests always failing without showing the Grant Access window, and terminal commands failing in home folders.
• Calendar invites for meetings with someone now actually invite them, instead of quietly creating a solo event.
• Fixed Slack alert automations stuck retrying under rate limits, WhatsApp contact syncing silently stopping, and a must-send update finishing without sending.
• Revising a draft no longer risks a confirmation loop, and near-duplicate task updates save properly.

2026-07-31

New features

• You can now set your own approval rules in plain language, like letting small purchases through without sign-off, applied across email, messaging, and shopping.
• Pally can now edit photos you send it, like resizing, cropping, or converting.

Improvements

• Pally keeps a warm tone once that's the vibe of your chats, and asking it to be sweeter sticks for good.
• Pally is snappier: shorter answers, tighter lists, a more casual voice that adapts to how you text.
• Pally second-guesses its own honest replies less often; redundant rewrite layers are gone.
• Asking to reply or follow up always gets a ready-to-approve draft, and retrying a connection always mints a fresh link.
• Scheduled updates handle busy WhatsApp inboxes without overloading, and the faster email triage now covers Slack and WhatsApp too.
• Outlook alert judgment reads the actual email content, and busy Slack channels get reviewed in batches with pure bot noise demoted automatically.
• Pally is honest about half-finished connections and exactly when calls are possible.
• Long browser jobs always run in the background with progress updates.
• Approval prompts and draft labels show up in your language, and email search says exactly where it could and couldn't look.
• Message delivery tracking is sturdier: delivery and failure signals come straight from the provider, so failed sends get caught and retried.

Bug fixes

• Approving a draft after a wording change sends reliably instead of looping on "good to send?".

• Connections confirm when they actually finish, and your first-day summary arrives in your language without repeats.
• More free secure-browser tasks each month, and Pally's own prep research no longer eats your allowance.
• Saying yes to something Pally proposed counts as a yes.
• Faster first replies for brand-new users, and honest answers about which AI providers power Pally.
• When Pally's card wallet can't cover an approved purchase, you get a secure top-up link in chat, and Pally is upfront that its one-time payment card is US-only for now.
• Proactive suggestions say what they noticed and why, and wait until you've shown you care about a topic yourself.
• If you text a different Pally number, everything follows you there instead of splitting across threads.
• When Pally's primary AI provider hiccups, replies come from a stronger backup model.
• Long-term memory absorbs big bursts of information in stages, so nothing gets squeezed out.

Bug fixes

• Fixed quick follow-up texts making Pally skip your earlier question or drop a send confirmation.
• Fixed rare word-for-word repeats, mid-conversation language switches, and phantom snag reports.

• Your Pally number is permanently recorded and monitored, texts reach email-based iMessage users, and OpenClaw imports bring scheduled routines over too.
• Fixed repeated near-duplicate to-do suggestions, and a quiet pause in background memory updates for very active users.

2026-07-29

New features

• Pre-meeting briefs are now standard for connected calendars: who's there, your history, open threads, and fresh public news about the people you're meeting.
• People you actually meet with become contacts automatically; email alone never creates a contact.
• Pally now looks for workflows you do by hand and offers to take them over end to end, like archiving cold outreach or auto-forwarding receipts.
• When you connect your Mac, Pally imports up to a year of iMessage history so it understands your contacts from day one (on by default, off in the Mac app menu).
• You can now queue a whole batch of email forwards and approve them with a single thumbs up, and Pally can truly forward emails with the original message and attachments.

• Location reminders: ask to be pinged when you arrive at or leave any place.
• Switching from OpenClaw or Hermes takes one click, with your old assistant untouched.
• You can now link two Macs, with Pally using whichever is awake.

Improvements

• Pally suggests connecting an account when it would clearly help, and is better at working out which chat or contact you mean.
• Online purchases confirm only the exact cart and total shown, and reopened checkouts use fresh secure links.
• Pally has more room per request, so bigger multi-step jobs finish in one pass, and background helpers carry more tools for complete deep-dives.
• Pally sees everyone on an email, so "reply-all" and "invite everyone" work, and it knows Superhuman tags are Gmail labels underneath.
• Long emails get skimmed with a fast first pass, so briefs capture every real ask without wading through newsletters.
• Sign-ins mid-purchase hand you Pally's own secure browser link so you pick up where it left off.
• Pally learns the names of places you visit, so reminders can say "the gym".
• Briefs and long tasks wrap up before hitting their limit, and one "stop bringing that up" silences a topic everywhere.
• Pally has a sharper sense of your open loops, and proactive messages are timed around what you're in the middle of.
• "Just pick for me" gets one committed choice with a quick reason.
• Contacts are quietly enriched from your email, so "email Sarah" just works.
• Group answers arrive as inline threaded replies, unnamed groups show member first names, and group chatter can't change Pally's memory of your own preferences.
• Every email or document Pally links uses its own reliable secure links.
• Referral leaderboard spots update the moment a friend signs up.
• Setup is more resilient: failed pairings retry quietly, temporary provider trouble waits instead of declaring failure, and Pally checks in when you're done connecting.
• Personal check-ins are rare, thoughtful, and capped, and they notice when you're mid-conversation.

Bug fixes

• Replies always come from your original Pally number, guaranteed at a deeper level with team alerts on any doubt.
• Multiple WhatsApp drafts can queue together, and an old draft no longer blocks a new request.
• Voice notes on iMessage get properly transcribed, and Pally knows it can understand them.
• "Cancel everything and stop texting me" fully opts you out, including built-in proactive messages.
• When Pally runs low on room mid-task, it hands the rest to a background run instead of going quiet after "I'll pick that up right away".
• Pally finds your Gmail labels itself and no longer asks for a browser session for things Gmail can already do.
• Group chats are more dependable: no surprise late replies to skipped messages, no permanent silence after a temporary hiccup, and tagged questions from people with their own Pally get answered.
• Verified payment confirmations quietly close the matching bill reminder.
• Pally never claims a spreadsheet entry it hasn't written.
• Place reminders fire at the actual place and moment you asked for.
• WhatsApp contact syncing retries through rate limits, and long research tasks deliver their wrap-up instead of erroring at the end.
• Declining WhatsApp truly sticks: no more codes after a no.
• Malformed drafts are caught before you see them, and drafts in your name take their style from your own sent messages, never the other person's.
• Batch email forwards to the same address no longer wrongly flag as duplicates of each other.
• Answered group questions stand down instead of re-answering hours later.
• Phone calls finish gracefully through behind-the-scenes updates, and a secure sign-in can't stay stuck behind another pending approval.

2026-07-28

New features

• Pally can now pay a bill for you: it reads the amount due and pays with a one-time virtual card locked to that exact amount, once you say go. Bill reminders keep the payment link, so "pay it" just works.
• Pally can now run things on your Mac when you ask, from a quick command to kicking off a coding assistant in a project, granted one folder at a time and revocable anytime. Longer jobs keep running and report back.
• Pally can now open zip files and read what's inside.

Improvements

• Files you send are acknowledged right away, including a clear note when a type can't be opened.
• Time-sensitive asks proceed with sensible defaults instead of blocking on small questions.
• Rewording a message you're sending gets a quick yes on the new wording first.
• WhatsApp answers work mid-sync with a heads-up that the newest messages may still be arriving.
• Browser checkouts and bill payments finish on the first try more often, and staged payments tell you how long you have to confirm.
• Group hellos name the people Pally recognizes instead of listing phone numbers.

Bug fixes

• Fixed a freeze where a very large email thread could lock up replies for minutes; large threads now process in under a second.
• Email approvals no longer stall, duplicate, or end unclear: duplicate drafts collapse into one, sends are time-bounded, and genuinely unclear outcomes get checked against your sent mail.
• No more "set to go out" claims for messages still waiting on your confirmation, and approval drafts always contain the real link.
• WhatsApp sync promises are kept: post-sync work happens automatically, with a safety net if the completion signal goes missing, and you're told when history finishes syncing.
• An automation blocked on your city or timezone gets picked back up once you provide it.
• Missed group invites can be revived by tagging Pally again, and a late yes still works.
• A clearly seen approval is honored even if you keep chatting, and Pally asks instead of going quiet when it needs to double-check.
• Busy group chats can't lose your question, follow-ups batch into one answer, and old threads still get responses.
• Pally checks which group you mean before posting when it's ambiguous.
• Proactive notes can't arrive with internal drafting notes attached, drafts for you to send yourself come with context, and a tweak requested after a send gets an honest "already sent" plus a follow-up offer.

2026-07-27

New features

• Ask about an app without a built-in integration, like ClickUp or Asana, and Pally offers to connect that app's official MCP server: a real two-way connection, by name for well-known apps.
• Pally can now attach files to emails it sends, save drafts to your Gmail or Outlook drafts folder, and see what's already sitting in your drafts.
• You can now ask Pally in your own chat to say something in one of your group chats.
• Group chats can have scheduled posts, manageable by anyone in the group, with automations visible in your dashboard alongside their background-work usage.
• Pally can find a receipt in your email and text you a link that opens the file straight away.

Improvements

• Pally is for adults: if it learns a user is under 18, it explains it can't work with them and stops.
• Pally sticks to your language, with no stray English or mixed-language replies.
• Pally nags less, and picks up promised work the moment you connect the account it was waiting on.
• Message approvals are stricter: a rejection or edit can't be misread as a yes, a thumbs up only approves its exact draft, and changed minds get re-checked.
• Automations respect their allowed hours, and counts in your briefs are exact.
• Pally only says it did something when it actually did, and sets a real reminder whenever it promises to follow up.
• Calls near their length limit get a warning first, and the follow-up text acknowledges the cutoff.
• Pally knows a sleeping Mac from a disconnected one, so it only suggests reconnecting when needed.
• Your morning brief keeps arriving when a connected account breaks, noting what it couldn't read.
• WhatsApp pairing is smarter about numbers: codes say which number they're for, and a different WhatsApp number can be paired by just saying so.

Bug fixes

• Delayed group automation setup keeps the exact originating group, and a freshly added Pally introduces itself and answers tags.
• Fixed calendar reads with several connected calendars, and email search for people with many inboxes.
• Fixed duplicate sends, lost track of sent drafts, and endless "good to send?" re-asks.
• Missed messages during a hiccup get one catch-up reply covering everything.

• Fixed wrongly apologizing that a real link was fake, plus stray formatting marks and technical ids leaking into texts.
• WhatsApp setup won't hand you an expired code, and rate-limited connects ping you the moment they can continue.
• Pally can now read web-page-only emails, which most receipts and confirmations are.
• Snoozed reminders actually move, provider usage caps switch to the backup AI instead of dropping your message, and personal check-ins always arrive privately, never in a group.
• A good product recommendation is kept even when a link can't be fully verified, and paused custom briefings are named exactly.

2026-07-26

New features

• A new getting-started experience: connect the couple of platforms you live in first, and Pally studies what's there and comes back with specific things it can start doing, in one thoughtful summary instead of a burst of updates.
• Pally now matches how you like to text: casual if you're casual, formal if you're formal, steerable anytime.

Bug fixes

• Dismissed to-dos stay dismissed instead of being re-created from the same old emails.

2026-07-25

New features

• When something on your side breaks a connection, Pally sends one friendly note explaining exactly how to fix it.
• One Pally in a group chat now works for everyone there who uses Pally, each through their own account and approvals. General questions stay open to everyone; personal ones go through that person's own Pally.

Improvements

• The dashboard shows when Apple needs a fresh sign-in instead of listing a silently failing connection as healthy.
• Expired approval drafts get mentioned instead of dropped, and email search is more reliable on very large inboxes.

Bug fixes

• Pally no longer insists it lacks access to an iMessage group it already joined.

2026-07-24

New features

• You can now add Pally to your iMessage group chats: it joins after your yes, speaks when mentioned, tracks the group's plans, and checks with you privately before using anything of yours.
• Pally can now complete purchases for you on every plan: cart, checkout, exact total, and it clicks buy only after you confirm.
• Pally can now look things up on social media: tweets, X searches, and Instagram profiles.
• Pally is now a little more of a companion: occasional short, well-timed personal notes, light touch, and it backs off if you're not into it.
• If your first text never gets its welcome, Pally follows up once, and it can now clean up your inbox: archive, label, and mark as read in Gmail and Outlook.

Improvements

• Pally's deep-thinking mode runs on the newest Claude model, and its backup engine got faster and more reliable.
• Pally tracks whether its texts actually reached your phone, so lost messages get noticed and followed up.
• Memory deletion is precise: exactly what you asked to forget, with a truthful account of what was removed.
• Pally has loosened up as a companion: nicknames, characters, and warm conversation instead of repeating what it can't be.
• Website connections are smarter: Substack sign-in works, and newly learned sign-in pages are remembered for next time.
• Pally knows exactly what your plan includes from the first message, and answers plan questions from your actual plan.
• Background upkeep skips quiet days and reviews bursts together, and the automations list hides built-in behaviors that just work.
• "You pick" gets a concrete choice, quick-fire question lists get fewer denser texts, and replies stop narrating internal rules.

Bug fixes

• Group @-mentions from the contact suggestion reliably wake Pally.
• A secure-browser site that signs Pally out gets you a fresh sign-in link instead of a stuck "already connected".
• Fixed a corrupted WhatsApp chat record breaking summaries, and contact syncing skipping very long busy threads.
• Browser tasks accept http links, and overlapping browser task requests get a clear heads-up.
• Fixed wrongly claiming a confirmed message hadn't sent, and near-duplicate re-sends now check with you first.
• Invalid referral codes say so instead of promising a free month, and long multi-part answers can't get cut off by a new text.
• Fixed a scheduled check-in texting a stray internal note like "no message needed here".

2026-07-23

New features

• Pally now notices when you're drifting from people who matter and suggests reconnecting once a week, with what's new in their world and a ready-to-send draft. Only saved contacts, and "stop suggesting them" sticks.
• Stay-in-touch rhythms: pick a cadence per person, snooze anyone, and ask "who am I losing touch with?" anytime.
• Pally can now post on X for you: publish, reply, like, repost, or delete, always with approval. Connecting X gets you a first rundown and two optional weekly digests.

Improvements

• WhatsApp contacts are recognized as the same people you know from iMessage and your address book.
• Getting started is less repetitive, and the referral page friends see has one clear claim button.

• Pally can now react to your messages with iMessage tapbacks.
• Place-based reminders: "remind me when I get home" or "next time I'm near the pharmacy", arrival and leaving both.
• Pally now notices trips from your shared location alone: schedules shift to local time, with a friendly heads-up and, once per trip, people you know there.

Improvements

• Message and email watchers are sharper about what deserves a heads-up: cancellations, direct questions, and plan changes break through while junk gets skipped.
• Custom automations run more efficiently by default, and background email lookups are faster.
• A friendlier welcome in short messages, warmer referral thank-yous, and a morning brief anchored to the city you woke up in.
• Pally has a more natural phone voice and hears you better on speaker or in noise.
• Location sharing gets picked up within seconds with a confirmation.
• Draft tweaks are one step: your specific edit gets applied and sent, with the final text shown, and email approvals always include the exact text about to go out.
• Pally remembers what you wished it could do, and circles back the day it ships.
• Automations retry quietly through AI-provider hiccups, deliver partial results honestly, and explain genuine failures in plain words.
• Free-week and browser-task limits are communicated clearly with upgrade paths.

• Calls confirm your verification code promptly and never hang up mid-sentence.
• Messages are much harder to lose: failed sends retry after outages, late-arriving texts get found within minutes, and the typing indicator is dependable.
• Other people's shared calendars stay out of your own plans unless you ask.
• Tapback reactions actually land on the message you meant.
• Fixed a serious bug where correcting a queued email and approving could send the uncorrected version; what you approved is verified against what's queued.
• Scheduled reminders only arrive at their scheduled time, never early with made-up details.

2026-07-21
