July 2026

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

July 31, 2026

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?".
• Fixed new-email sends from connected Outlook accounts failing at the last step.
• "Stop asking before repeat actions" truly sticks for batches and follow-up sends.
• Fixed parts of multi-part requests being silently skipped, and a stray broken character stalling background learning.
• Urgent deadline-critical alerts can no longer be swallowed by the anti-spam cooldown.
• Saying yes to something Pally just offered does that exact thing, a false "your Mac is offline" error is gone, and pairing codes only arrive when you actually asked to connect.

July 30, 2026

New features

• Pally can now reschedule and cancel events on your Apple (iCloud) calendar.
• You can now connect Microsoft Teams, with one Microsoft sign-in covering Outlook and Teams.
• You can now approve a message to send at a specific time.

Improvements

• WhatsApp connection health is double-checked in the background, pairing-code expiry is always announced, and drops after setup get flagged right away.
• 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

• A delayed first message still gets a reply with an apology, instead of silence forever.
• All-day and multi-day calendar edits store true all-day events, and events always land in your local timezone.
• 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.
• Undelivered replies get noticed and re-sent, and re-sending only happens when a message truly never arrived.
• Busy morning briefs finish and send instead of a canned snag message.
• Slack alerts keep details that exist only in Slack's structured blocks.
• Approved actions always get a completion message, even if you text mid-work.
• WhatsApp setup can't be undone by an expired older code, and the connect flow comes up reliably in chat.
• Browser handoffs show the whole live page cleanly on phones, and stuck "draft still being prepared" purchase approvals are fixed.
• Large email jobs like a full receipt batch continue across every page.
• 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.

July 29, 2026

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.
• Standing approvals arrive: approvals you've given for a goal are honored by background helpers, and repeat approvals may earn an offer of a standing rule, always reported and revocable.
• 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.
• Getting started is show-not-tell: connect accounts and Pally comes back having already done one useful thing.
• A short weekly recap on Sunday evenings of what Pally quietly handled.
• Pally can find specialized external tools on demand, preferring specialist data sources for structured facts.
• You can grant Mac folder access right from chat, including Apple-protected folders via the Mac's own prompt.
• Finer dashboard controls over check-ins, campaign codes for a free month of Pally Pro, and direct service updates from Pally's team that respect unsubscribes.

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.

July 28, 2026

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.

July 27, 2026

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.
• Dismissed tasks stay dropped, requested alerts always arrive, and failing scheduled updates say so once with a fix instead of failing silently every week.
• 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.

July 26, 2026

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.

July 25, 2026

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.
• Your daily updates take priority near your monthly usage limit.
• Inbox summaries spell out hard conditions and deadlines and lead with a recommendation.
• Group asks from your own account just run and reply in the group.

Bug fixes

• Fixed queued email approvals looping instead of sending, duplicate WhatsApp items in briefs, and group approval thumbs-ups not registering the first time.
• Pally no longer insists it lacks access to an iMessage group it already joined.

July 24, 2026

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.
• Group chats no longer hit a daily reply limit.

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".

July 23, 2026

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 replies faster, especially right after you queue or approve a draft.

Bug fixes

• Approved X posts confirm right away with the link, and the same post can't be queued twice.
• Links no longer arrive with technical gibberish stuck to the end.
• Web checks no longer fail partway or send confusing "couldn't finish" notes after answering.
• Fixed memory upkeep cutting off summaries mid-thought or quietly stalling for some accounts.
• Secure-browser sign-ins wait for verification codes instead of closing mid sign-in.
• Custom MCP servers with big tool catalogs connect fully, and X connections confirm smoothly with no false "still not linked".
• Harmless X reads don't ask permission; only real changes do.
• First rundowns after connecting an account always share what they found.

July 22, 2026

New features

• You can now see your recent phone calls in your dashboard.
• You can now plug your own tools into Pally: tell it about any MCP server in chat.
• 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.

Bug fixes

• WhatsApp no longer goes quiet during Pally's own updates; rollouts are gradual.
• Place reminders only fire on a real arrival, not while you're still there.
• Bring-your-own MCP servers connect reliably, including OAuth and tool loading.
• Fixed rare special characters making Pally stop replying in a conversation.
• No duplicate answers when a longer lookup finishes late, and retries target the exact failed message.
• Edited queued drafts fully replace the old version, and failure notices word names cleanly.
• Referred and gifted Pally Pro applies everywhere in chat.
• 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.

July 21, 2026

New features

• You can now link your bank, credit card, and business accounts through a secure flow, then ask about balances, transactions, and spending, with personal and business kept separate.
• An optional weekly spending brief: your week's spending, top categories, and anything unusual.

Improvements

• One-time reminders close themselves out after pinging you instead of lingering as overdue.

Bug fixes

• Scheduled briefs and alerts switch to a backup AI model during outages instead of failing.
• The dashboard's upgrade, billing, and referral buttons work again.

July 20, 2026

New features

• Pally now remembers where your contacts are based, and where you've been: ask "what was that restaurant I went to in Chicago?" and get a real answer.
• Pally can now send Excel spreadsheets and PDF documents as real attachments.
• Pally can now press keypad buttons on phone calls, so automated phone menus don't stop it.
• A weekly local picks update: one highly rated spot near where you actually spend time.
• Podcast recommendations come from a real directory, so they're real, active shows.

Improvements

• Forwarding and quoting word-for-word is faster and exact, and failed scheduled updates tell you right away.
• Pally is much stricter about online recommendations: it opens the actual page to confirm a thing exists before naming it, and flags anything unverified.
• Referral codes are recognized even mid-conversation.
• Disconnecting or deleting data takes one confirmation in plain language, with honesty about what's still remembered.
• Better call diagnostics when a number can't connect, and better location guidance when a request genuinely needs it.
• If a technical problem stops a reply entirely, Pally says something went wrong instead of silence.
• Special links like checkouts are only ever real ones from the real system.
• Scheduled automations can save notes about people they come across.

Bug fixes

• Moving a reminder actually moves the alert, and evening reminders land on the right day.
• Fixed crashes and give-ups in scheduled briefs, so busy updates finish and send.
• Long secure links no longer arrive with their tail cut off.
• Fixed Pally replacing a good long answer with a short confusing correction; it only corrects itself over genuinely false claims.
• Disconnecting WhatsApp cleans up everything Pally created from it.
• Fixed a blank message permanently silencing a conversation, and long question lists for calls failing on the first try.

July 19, 2026

Bug fixes

• Fixed a loop where passports were misread as driver's licenses during payment card verification, with clearer one-time-setup explanations.

July 17, 2026

Improvements

• Background searches across email and WhatsApp are faster and more complete.

Bug fixes

July 16, 2026

New features

• Flight search and booking is now on every plan, with no monthly search limits, and the free plan now includes browser tasks.
• When you introduce yourself, Pally looks you up and suggests ways it could help someone with your kind of week.

Improvements

• The typing indicator is more natural: it waits while you finish a thought, stays steady through long work, and clears properly.
• A better first hello that leads with what Pally can take off your plate.
• Flight search covers every airport in a metro area, and Pally reliably finds its own booking and calling abilities.
• iMessage sends are more dependable, and status updates arrive in your language instead of fixed English messages.
• Pally stays fast for everyone even when one account kicks off huge background work, and stalled browser sessions fail fast and retry.

Bug fixes

• Confirming several queued actions at once works instead of re-asking.
• Pally no longer restarts running work, repeats finished writes, or revives old requests from a "thanks".
• No more stray internal notes after an answer, or false "that didn't happen" claims after success.
• Finished browser work that ran past its time limit gets picked up instead of lost.
• Fixed rare failures in iMessage contact lookup, WhatsApp sends, queued replies, and contact notes.

July 15, 2026

New features

• Changes that stay in your own world, like updating your docs and tasks, now happen right away; confirmation is reserved for things that reach other people or delete data.
• You can approve several queued changes at once.
• You can now teach Pally reusable skills: save a template or playbook once, ask for it by name, and edit them on your dashboard.

• A real language setting: tell Pally once and every message follows it.
• Pally can now pay for things with a single-use virtual card created for the exact order total, confirmed with you every time.
• Ask how background work is going and Pally genuinely checks, including a live view of its browser work.

Improvements

• Multi-day events save as one spanning event, duplicate reminders get caught even with different names, and reminders that fire several times a day are described accurately.
• Deeper web research: more searches per question, more steps on hard questions, and write-ups done with everything read in view.
• Adding events to your own calendar is instant; only invites that email others need approval.
• Secure browser sign-ins work properly from your phone, and Pally notices on its own once you've signed in.
• Simple recurring reminders run on a much lighter path, and briefs arrive close to schedule at busy hours.
• The Mac companion updates itself automatically, and Pally notices when it's out of date.
• Pally offers its built-in browser for sites with no direct connection, with more room for long research and checkout runs.
• Alerts and background answers run in a dedicated fast lane, and message screening no longer pauses itself after busy stretches.
• Important-email alerts read the actual email up front, and Slack alerts read the full thread before deciding.
• Duplicate automations get noticed and reconciled instead of quietly stacking.
• Unanswered messages caused by glitches get noticed and answered within minutes.

• Pally no longer walks back true statements, claims it can't do things it can, or repeats outdated claims about already-fixed issues.

• Re-pairing the Mac companion talks to your newest setup, not an old pairing.
• Quick follow-up texts can't drop your earlier request.
• Fixed AI-provider slowdowns silencing accounts with many connected apps.

• Email search survives a removed account, and connecting the same mailbox twice no longer duplicates processing.
• Outlook alert screening can actually read the triggering email.
• Recurring reminders count against your plan when created, and existing duplicate reminders were cleaned up.
• Fixed privacy and browser-security gaps on my.pally.com, plus a sign-in confirmation that could get lost in a restart.
• Fixed calls that rang once with no answer, and conflicting answers about plan upgrades.

July 14, 2026

New features

• Messages Pally drafts in your name now sound like you: it learns how you write to each person and matches your tone and style, and tone feedback sticks.
• Pally spots when a conversation shows a to-do is done and quietly closes it.
• After connecting a new app, Pally recaps what it picked up so you can correct it.
• Group sharing got precise: specific email labels, Slack channels, Drive folders, and Linear teams instead of whole accounts, plus a clearly labeled off-by-default option to let a group send as you.
• Pally can now create proper multi-tab Google Sheets, and group scheduling supports Outlook.

Improvements

• Approved things that hit a technical hiccup retry on their own instead of re-asking you.
• Pally can instantly clean up calendar events it created, re-checks batches to report what actually changed, and asks before putting guessed dates on your calendar.
• Your first exchange with Pally is faster, and multi-step requests stop re-checking the same thing.
• Fewer repeat pings: replied conversations stay quiet, rapid-fire texts produce one heads-up, and alerts interrupt only for real deadlines and blocking asks.
• Pally keeps the gist of much longer conversations in mind, and picks the memories and contacts that matter for each reply.
• Your case style applies to automatic messages too, and dashboard approval texts say exactly what you're approving.
• You can approve a pending request and ask for something new in one message.
• Automations that need judgment run their routine checks instantly, and recurring automations learn their routine, costing a small fraction of the budget they used to.
• Pally fills in your name and email on your account from what it knows.
• Links get opened and double-checked before sending, with honest notes when something can't be verified.
• Group invites reach people who joined Pally later, sharing a slice of an app is one step, and deleting a group erases its history.
• Digests finish cleaning up already-handled suggestions even on busy runs.

Bug fixes

• Approvals are sturdier: no double-confirmations, invisible pending questions, stale drafts blocking new requests, or "delete everything" being misread.
• Thumbs-upping a confirmation reliably approves it, with a confirmation and link when work finishes.

July 13, 2026

New features

• Calling Pally by phone: dial the number you already text and it picks up live, with included call time on Free and Pro.

• Pally notices genuinely useful things you've never tried and mentions one at a natural moment.
• Groups can use a member's connected Notion.

Improvements

• A much tidier memory: duplicates merged, stale facts retired, guesses never overwriting what you said, and a memory page grouped by topic.
• A cleaner task list: expired suggestions lapse, duplicates merge, and your brief offers each new to-do exactly once.
• Instant answers in chat and on calls: Google Calendar, email, any one WhatsApp or iMessage chat, and Granola meeting recaps.
• Conversation watches got sharper: faster replies in your style, fact checks first, silence while waiting on your answer, and automatic catch-up after your Mac was offline.
• If the other person asks for something sensitive, Pally checks with you first.
• Referrals and groups: your referrals page shows who each referral is, invites open straight into the group, you choose exactly which account a group may use, and dashboard changes apply instantly.

Bug fixes

• Dates mentioned days ago stay anchored right, so passed deadlines get "how did it go?" instead of a countdown.

• Opening the Mac companion always brings up its window.

July 12, 2026

Improvements

• Paused accounts acknowledge every message and pick requests up when the pause lifts.
• WhatsApp is sturdier: sends retry through hiccups with clear status, searches match message content not just chat names, and unsynced history is called out instead of read as empty.
• Briefs can't silently skip a day, and gathered-but-undelivered briefs get surfaced.

Improvements

• Stale drafts can't be fired by a quick "yep"; they get re-checked and expire.
• Pally can always say what's waiting on your approval, and "no, do this instead" gets both parts handled.
