Changelog archive

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.

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

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

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.

Bug fixes

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
