August 2026

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

August 13, 2026

New features

You can now book the exact flight you picked in chat: Pally sends a secure checkout that opens right on your chosen flight with the live price, you enter passenger details and pay with your card, and Pally confirms the booking and tracks changes. Cancellations refund straight back to your card.
You can now manage your email signatures from your dashboard: your Gmail signature shows up pre-filled from your Gmail settings and is editable, and your Outlook signature can be typed in or suggested by Pally from your past sent emails.

Improvements

New emails and drafts sent through your connected Gmail or Outlook now include your signature automatically, with no approval step needed. Replies and forwards stay unchanged.
Emails Pally sends from your Gmail or Outlook now carry a small "Sent with Pally" link, so recipients can discover Pally.
WhatsApp context is cleaner: Pally keeps the account, readiness, warnings, and complete message details it needs without carrying provider diagnostics or cutting messages in half.
Pally can now clear big batches of LinkedIn connection requests in one go: accepting or declining requests gets its own much roomier allowance, matching how fast you would work through them yourself.
When Pally spreads LinkedIn actions out to keep your account safe from automation detection, it now explains that calmly and tells you when the batch will finish, instead of sounding like something went wrong.
AI-provider failover now handles cancellations and overlapping requests without reopening unhealthy providers, repeating completed actions, or trusting connected-app text as instructions.
Calendar reads now keep useful event links while bounding large attendee lists, so one crowded event cannot hide the rest.
Pally now reports connections more truthfully: Apple Mail and Calendar count correctly, and connected-app status distinguishes saved setup from live provider proof.
Pally now stays sharp even when its main AI provider has an outage: backup replies keep full quality, work in progress carries over instead of failing, and everything recovers much faster.
Results from connected apps are now cleaner and easier for Pally to reason from: readable fields, complete text, and no broken formatting when a response is long.
Coding tasks keep sending progress and results after a companion app update, instead of silently going quiet.
Coding sessions on your Mac can now use temporary scratch files without asking you to approve each one, so quick checks and experiments keep moving on their own.
Booking a flight is smoother and safer: checkout opens with your details already filled in, flight times always show in each airport's local time, the payment button appears the moment it is ready, and if a booking ever fails after payment you see exactly what was charged and your refund is returned automatically.
The exact text you approve is the exact text that sends: Pally always shows you the real stored draft before sending, never a paraphrase.
Verification codes Pally relays keep their context line, so you always know what a code is for.
Pally now recognizes messages from its own phone lines, so it never mistakes its own texts for spam, and line health monitoring got stronger to keep your messages delivering reliably.
When your Mac is offline and Pally queues a request to run once it reconnects, Pally always tells you it is queued, so nothing happens silently.

Bug fixes

Outlook calendar reads now show the correct recurring events, exact totals for large date ranges, and correct times for events saved with Windows-style timezones. Reads also wait longer when Microsoft responds slowly.
Deleting your Pally account no longer silently blocks you from ever signing up again with the same phone number, and deletion now removes your name and contact details from our records right away.
Fixed a stretched Apple ID field on the dashboard's Apple connection form.
Cloud Mac sign-in retries now stop cleanly if their restart lease is lost, without creating an overlapping setup session.
Outlook calendar searches now match attendee names, and empty results from large connected-app reads no longer look like missing data.
Backup AI now keeps custom automations running during provider outages, even when an automation has a large set of Mac controls.
Cloud Mac setup now uses the correct Screen Sharing route and keeps each hosted Mac awake, so Apple sign-in does not drop mid-setup.
Cloud Mac sign-in retries are now single-use after success, remain retryable after temporary failures, and recover on the same page after an interrupted restart.
Existing iMessage group chats now stay connected when Pally moves a phone line to its new messaging provider.
Pally now notices when a coding task is stalled or waiting for an unanswered approval, explains the state, and tells you how to continue.
Saying yes to a queued message now just works: one clear confirmation sends it, instead of Pally asking you again and again.
Confirmation questions can no longer get lost when you text Pally something else at the same moment, and a queued send can no longer quietly expire without you ever being asked.
Asking Pally to delete your account, unsubscribe from texts, or connect an app now reliably reaches the right built-in action instead of dead-ending.
The same verification code is never relayed twice in a row, and repeating background updates are deduplicated so you never receive the same list every hour.
Stronger filters so internal notes, placeholders, and system phrasing never reach you as a message.
Coding tasks on your Mac can now finish the whole job: Codex sessions could not reach the network to push branches or open pull requests, and could not even ask for permission to. Now they ask you like everything else does.
Long-running coding tasks no longer hit an internal time limit that silently stopped them mid-project. Sessions stay alive while they wait between instructions, stay resumable, and when a session does stop, Pally tells you the real reason.
Starting a coding task from a base branch written like "origin/dev" now works instead of failing to prepare the checkout.
Offline error messages now name the right thing, like a note that couldn't be edited, instead of calling everything a message.

August 12, 2026

New features

Pally now works with Microsoft 365 and Outlook calendars: if your calendar lives in Outlook, Pally can read your schedule, brief you on your day, prep you for meetings, and create events, just like Google and Apple calendars.
You can now stop or redirect a longer errand while it is still running: 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 so you can see what you are choosing between.
Custom automations can now send photos, files, and tapbacks, and generate images, just like the main chat. An automation that finds a photo can actually deliver it.
In group chats, generated videos and songs can now be delivered in the group thread or privately to just you, the same way generated images already work.
Pally can now send Apple Calendar invites: create an event with guests from your iCloud calendar and they get a real invitation email, with your confirmation before anything goes out.
Apple Calendar events can now be true all-day events instead of midnight-to-midnight blocks.
You can now connect Square: Pally can look at appointments, payments, and customer info from your Square account, with your confirmation before any change.
Coding sessions now live in their own tidy Pally folder on your Mac: each task gets its own fresh copy cloned straight from GitHub, and the first task on a repo asks which branch to build from and remembers your answer.

Improvements

Smarter email alerts for Outlook accounts: Pally now checks the whole thread, including your own replies, so it stops nudging you about emails you already handled and catches asks buried earlier in a thread.
Errands that check things on websites, like restaurant availability, are much faster: Pally checks several places at once instead of one at a time.
Pally now shares the best options it has found within a few minutes and asks if you want it to keep digging, instead of going quiet until every check is done.
Time estimates for longer errands are honest and specific, based on how long similar work actually takes, instead of a vague worst case.
Pally sends short progress updates as meaningful steps of a longer errand finish, so you always know where things stand.
Pally is better at finding the right capability for a request, so actions such as deleting data or revising a queued message no longer disappear behind an incorrect "I can't do that" answer.
Connecting Apple is more forgiving: if you paste your app-specific password before Pally is ready, it is still captured securely, kept out of chat history, and the setup carries on instead of silently stalling.
Disconnecting an Apple service now says up front that iCloud mail, calendar, and contacts share one connection, so nothing disappears by surprise.
When you tell Pally how to talk to you, like "no more hearts", it now remembers that preference for good.
Pally's honesty double-check got more accurate: a reply that truthfully says "sent" right after something went out no longer gets flagged and rewritten over stale evidence.
Pally is better at remembering which language you speak: once your language is clear from the conversation, tips, updates, and background messages follow it too.
Send confirmations are now bulletproof: every send carries a receipt generated straight from the real send record, so Pally can never again say something went out when it didn't.
Merging two contacts now asks you to confirm the exact records before anything is combined, so a misidentified merge can't erase a contact by accident.
Send confirmations now show the message once, with the recipient's real name and number, and no internal technical codes.
Pally repeats itself less: connection updates arrive as one message instead of a burst, and unanswered check-ins no longer repeat identically hour after hour.
Watchers that promise to check less often now actually slow themselves down.

Bug fixes

Fixed a setup gap where some users never got their morning brief created, which also meant alerts saved for the next brief were never delivered. Once Pally knows your city, your brief starts and saved alerts reach you.
Fixed a display issue where Outlook accounts showed a placeholder name instead of your email address.
Multi-day trips and all-day events now show the right end date everywhere: no more "back Monday" when you actually get home Sunday, and no false schedule-conflict warnings built on that off-by-one day.
Fixed a rare iCloud hiccup that could put the same calendar event on your calendar twice.
Fixed Mac disconnect: asking Pally to disconnect a Mac was failing at the last step and leaving the connection behind.
Fixed a delay where a reply could arrive noticeably late while an internal double-check retried the whole turn.
Background errands finish their write-ups reliably again; the cleanup pass that tidies a summary was quietly timing out.
Fixed a rare iMessage delivery bug where an international phone number without its leading + made every proactive message fail.
Fixed contact bugs that could scramble your CRM: no more duplicate contacts from partial names, renames that wiped summaries, or keep-in-touch reminders invented for unknown names.
Birthdays now show in your own timezone, so you won't be told a birthday is "tomorrow" when it's already today for you.
Contact facts extracted from a chat no longer vanish on a network hiccup or get folded onto a coworker who shares a first name.
Fixed a bug where Pally kept re-asking you to confirm a queued message no matter how clearly you said yes.
Fixed cases where a quick follow-up text made Pally drop your approval of a queued message; your yes sticks even when you double-text.
Messages you asked Pally to send no longer quietly time out waiting for a go-ahead; Pally keeps them alive and follows up until you decide.
A connected app that got stuck showing as disconnected after a setup glitch now restores itself automatically.
Forwarded verification codes now always arrive complete: the code plus what it's for, never a bare number or a message with the code missing.
Fixed a bug where Pally could ask "good to send?" without showing the draft it was asking about.
Fixed a bug where a brief could deliver only half its sources after a hiccup and ask you to run it again; briefs now finish their own pass.
Fixed a bug where a brief you set to always deliver could silently skip a day.
Pally can no longer send an email that mentions an attachment without the file actually attached.
Asking Pally to send from a specific email account now guarantees exactly that account is used, or Pally checks with you first; it never silently sends from a different one.
Fixed a bug where some phone calls failed to start.
Pally now confirms generated images actually reached your chat instead of assuming they did.
Reminders you ask for now always produce a message at the promised time; they can no longer silently skip.
If a group chat Pally joined isn't set up right, it now tells you instead of going quiet.

August 11, 2026

New features

Pally can now actually read what your coding sessions are saying and doing: ask "what did the review find?" and it quotes the real output instead of a one-line status, and it alerts you promptly when a session finishes or needs your input.
Pally now picks up your birthday from your conversations in any language and saves it to your profile.
Pally can now read YouTube video transcripts: send a YouTube link and ask for a summary or the key points.
Pally is much better at public research now: Reddit threads, TikTok posts, Google Maps business listings and reviews, and Amazon product details, prices, and reviews.
Pally can now research companies and people in more depth, with enriched public data and company news.
You can now ask Pally to generate AI videos and full songs. You approve the exact price before anything runs, and it's billed at provider cost with no markup on any plan.
You can now pick the AI model for a coding session: say "use opus" or any model you like when starting one, and Pally shows which model each session is actually running. Without a pick, your Mac's own defaults apply.

Improvements

Every connected app now has a proper disconnect: you can disconnect Apple iCloud, Granola, LinkedIn, bank accounts, and everything else right from chat, and Pally deletes the data it kept from that app.
Disconnecting an app also stops the background helpers that depend on it, so Pally won't keep nudging you to reconnect something you chose to turn off.
Automation feedback is smarter: telling an automation things like "stop pulling from Slack" now adjusts it the way you meant, instead of sometimes doing the opposite.
Morning briefs and recaps now remember what was recently resolved, so Pally won't offer to chase something it already settled for you yesterday.
Proactive alerts now always carry the substance of what Pally found, not just a suggested reply.
Approval requests now spell out exactly who a message or email is going to, name and number or address, before you say yes.
Connection status while linking your accounts is clearer and more honest: "connected" only appears once it's truly working, and a failed link gets you a fresh sign-in link.
Plan limits and pricing read accurately now, including the right currency and what your plan's connection slots actually allow.

Bug fixes

iCloud connections are steadier: a brief Apple-side hiccup no longer makes Pally ask you for a brand-new app-specific password; it double-checks before ever asking you to reconnect.
Pally now notices on its own when a connected app like Gmail or Google Calendar has silently broken, instead of discovering it mid-request at the worst moment.
Fixed connect links: finishing sign-in on an older link still counts, and connections that got stuck half-finished now complete themselves without a new link.
Fixed a serious gap where Pally could treat an unrelated reply as a go-ahead and send something you hadn't approved; nothing goes out now without a clear yes to that exact action.
When you approve an action it now actually runs: approved sends no longer quietly expire or get lost when another message arrives at the same time.
Fixed cases where Pally said something was sent, scheduled, or saved when it hadn't actually happened; Pally now checks its own work before claiming it's done.
Background work that fails now always tells you what happened instead of going quiet or claiming success.
Fixed Apple Calendar event updates and deletions, which could fail outright, and stopped duplicate calendar events from being created.
Messages are cleaner now: internal shorthand, raw phone-number codes, and untranslated English template lines no longer appear in your chats, whatever language you speak.
Fixed stray foreign-language snippets occasionally slipping into replies.
Texting STOP after an unprompted message now immediately pauses Pally's proactive messages.
Proactive updates repeat less: no more identical hourly lists, duplicate notices, or surprise pairing codes you didn't ask for.
Fixed group chats where Pally never replied at all: some groups were silently skipped because of how their chat identity was registered. Every group chat replies reliably again.
Coding task status is now truthful about lost sessions: if your Mac no longer has a session (say after an update hiccup), Pally notices on its next check and marks the task honestly instead of showing "running" for days.

August 10, 2026

New features

Flight booking is back: ask for flights and Pally finds real bookable options, then sends a secure checkout link to complete the booking. Once you book, Pally confirms it automatically and watches for airline changes to your trip.
Coding sessions now survive the Mac companion app restarting: your running sessions pick up where they left off the next time you message them.
You can now connect Granola and X straight from the dashboard's app catalog with one click, instead of asking in chat.
Pally can now use your Mac for you, right from chat: ask it to look at what's on your screen, click and type, open apps, and run quick commands, and it does it on your Mac through the companion app.
You decide how much your Mac lets Pally do on its own: anything that changes something asks for your OK first, and you can loosen that for a stretch when you want Pally to just drive.

Improvements

Pre-meeting briefs are now much richer: more on each person's background, their notable writing, press, and recent posts, anything you have in common, and a link or two to the best sources.
GitHub coding tasks now work with whichever coding agent you use: tell Pally to file the task for @codex, @copilot, or any other GitHub coding bot, instead of only @claude.
Pally now opens a single link you ask about with a fast, lightweight page fetch instead of a slower full research pass, so answers about a specific page come back quicker.
Upgraded how Pally reads links you share: a smarter web reader that gets past more blocked pages and returns the actual article or listing instead of menus and cookie banners.
Every connected app now shows which account it belongs to, like your Granola, iCloud, or custom tool accounts, so Pally and your dashboard can always tell you exactly what's connected.
Pally now knows which email address each of your connected email accounts belongs to, so questions like "is that address one of my inboxes?" get an instant, reliable answer.
When you ask what's connected, Pally now includes LinkedIn: it can tell whether your Mac companion is paired and whether LinkedIn is signed in, and offer to connect it if not.
Asking Pally whether your Apple connection is healthy now does a quick live check of your credentials instead of only reporting the last known state.
Pally's introduction when it joins a new group chat is a little warmer and more welcoming.
Removed the Sunday evening weekly recap message; Pally now only reaches out when there is something genuinely useful to say.
Pally now paces its LinkedIn activity to protect your account, and only ever uses your account to read your own network, never to pull up other people's full profiles. When LinkedIn asks it to slow down, Pally tells you your request is queued and roughly how long it will take instead of going quiet.

Bug fixes

Coding sessions no longer interrupt you with permission questions just to read files: reading is always safe on your own Mac, so they only ask before real changes outside their own project copy.
Coding task status is now accurate: asking how your sessions are doing shows what each one is actually working on, instead of an outdated "starting up" note.
Fixed a rare case where a coding task could get stuck showing "running" forever when its session never actually started on your Mac; Pally now notices and marks it honestly so the name frees up.
Fixed a confusing error page that could appear right after successfully connecting an app: the connection actually worked, but the confirmation tab sometimes said it failed. It now shows the proper "Connected" page.
Fixed a gap where background research on your connected work apps (like GitHub, Jira, or Notion) could fall back to browsing the public website instead of using your connected account. Background work now reads those apps directly and reliably.
Fixed a gap where an app connected with missing permissions (like Jira or Confluence) could still be reported as "already connected": Pally now notices the broken connection and offers a reconnect instead.
Fixed a bug where tagging Pally in a group chat could show it typing and then never reply.
Fixed older connected accounts that showed a generic name like "account-2" on the dashboard: they now show which account they are, like your account email.
Fixed a case where Pally could say a LinkedIn message or connection request was done when LinkedIn had not actually completed it; Pally now confirms before telling you it is sent.

August 9, 2026

New features

Pally Max users can now have Pally act on every new email or message automatically, like researching each new event signup and adding a write-up about them to a doc. Other plans can do the same on an hourly schedule.
Pally now tidies up coding projects you've stopped touching: after a week idle it checks in once, and after two it puts the project copy away, with your OK first unless you've told it to run on its own. The session can still be picked back up fresh.
You can now start a coding session that doesn't keep your Mac awake, for when you want it working quietly on battery.
Coding sessions on your Mac can now run with Codex as well as Claude Code: ask for either by name and Pally starts the one you want.
You can now tell a coding session to just run: say "let it run" or "don't ask me" and it stops pausing for step-by-step approvals while still staying inside its own copy of your project.
Coding sessions now have full tidy-up controls: cancel one mid-run, close a finished one, or remove it entirely, and Pally cleans up the project copy it created. Leftover permission questions from an ended session disappear instead of lingering in chat.
After you connect your first account, Pally looks you up properly, including your public LinkedIn, and opens its first result with a friendly "here's what I found out about you".
Pally's background work now has full powers: long tasks can finish jobs end to end, like filing research into your Notion doc, instead of coming back read-only, with the same approval rules for anything that needs your OK.
You can now hand Pally a whole list, like a hundred event signups to research one by one, and it works through every item as one long job: it checks the first result with you, asks when it's blocked, and sends one summary at the end.

Improvements

Pally is now much better at long, deep tasks: we removed the tight internal step limits that could make it wrap up before the job was truly done, so it keeps working until it's finished.
Paid plans now have much bigger monthly budgets for background work, so long research jobs and always-on automations don't get cut short.
When something will take a while, Pally says so up front and then simply messages you when it's done or if it has a question, instead of sending generic 'still working on it' filler.
The Mac companion app's menu is a little cleaner: menu items no longer end in "...".
Idle coding sessions now tidy themselves up: after a quiet week Pally gives you a heads-up, and after another it archives the session's project copy while keeping the conversation resumable.
Multi-item requests now reliably run as one step-by-step job with a first-example check-in, and approving that first example is smoother.
When Pally finishes a piece of work but can't attach the file to your chat, it texts you the content itself instead of just reporting the attachment problem.
Pally is much better at reading your LinkedIn messages, connections, and invitations: results come back clean and focused instead of cluttered, so answers about your LinkedIn are faster and more reliable.
Calendar answers are more reliable: Pally reads your Google Calendar in a leaner format, so busy weeks and long event lists no longer get cut off before it can answer.
Calendar answers for very busy weeks are even leaner: Pally trims more provider clutter from full-detail calendar reads so long schedules fit in one pass.
Longer browser errands are quieter: one heads-up when Pally starts, an update only when something meaningful happens or it needs you, and then the result, instead of repeated status messages.
Pally now learns your name automatically from the accounts you connect, so you don't have to introduce yourself.
If Pally can't find your name anywhere, it asks what to call you early in setup instead of staying on nameless terms.
Pally now keeps an eye on LinkedIn for you: it flags genuinely important LinkedIn DMs as they come in, and your morning brief covers LinkedIn alongside your other channels and points out any pending connection requests worth accepting. If your Mac was asleep, it catches up on anything that came in while it was off.
Briefs you've marked as must-send now always arrive, even when Pally thinks the window was quiet.
Your briefs can now mention what got filtered out as noise, so you can tell Pally when something it skipped actually matters to you.
Pally now checks whether you already handled something, like a meeting you did attend, before reminding you about it.
Pally now knows when your proactive messages are paused, so instead of promising alerts that can't fire it can offer to switch the right ones back on, like urgent email alerts only.
Pally is better at reading big results from your connected apps like GitHub, Notion, Jira, and Google Drive: long lists and searches come back clean and complete instead of occasionally cut off mid-answer.
We removed the Unsubscribes page from the dashboard. Pally still unsubscribes from unwanted emails for you and reports what it did in chat.

Bug fixes

Fixed a gap where a Google account connected with missing permissions could look healthy at first and then fail later: Pally now catches missing permissions right when you connect and asks you to finish granting access.
Fixed a gap where Pally could say it can't search a connected app like Notion even though it can: it now reliably finds its own tools for searching and reading your connected work apps.
Calendar events Pally creates just for you (gym, travel blocks, dinners) no longer add you as a guest with a pending RSVP: solo events are truly attendee-free from the start.
Pally no longer quietly attaches a Google Meet link to every calendar event it creates: a Meet link is added only when you ask for one.
Pally now tells you right away when it can't post to one of your group chats (for example when it hasn't seen that group's activity in a while), with what to do about it, instead of saying the message is on its way when it isn't.
Pally is better at telling your group chats apart: when two of them share the same name, it picks the right one from the members you mention instead of getting stuck.
Fixed a bug where sharing your location with Pally could silently never register, if your iPhone shares under your Apple ID email instead of your phone number. Pally can now link it up by asking which email your Apple ID uses.
If your location share was affected by this, Pally will check in with you to get it connected properly.
Fixed a glitch where Pally could wrongly insist an email was empty and fail to queue an iCloud Mail send, especially for short messages.
Pally's scheduled tips and check-ins got a safety net: if a draft would have come out as an internal note instead of a real message, Pally rewrites it into a proper message before it sends.
Pally now accurately remembers the messages it posted in your group chats, so it never wrongly denies (or claims) having sent something there.
Fixed automatic receipt forwarding: Pally's receipt automations could spot a receipt but fail to actually forward it, or queue a forward that quietly expired instead of using your standing approval. Forwards now go out on their own the way you set them up to.
Fixed Pally sometimes giving up on a request it could actually do: when a step hits a snag, it now digs in and retries before ever telling you something isn't possible.
Fixed a bug where a retried action you had already approved, like deleting a calendar event after a first attempt hit the wrong calendar, could quietly stall while Pally said it was done. The corrected action now actually runs right away.
Fixed a rare glitch that could cut a scheduled brief short partway through, leaving you with only a partial recap.
Fixed a bug where Pally could still send a catch-up recap after you'd asked it to go quiet. Pausing proactive messages now covers every kind of proactive message, including one-time welcome recaps.
Pally no longer sends stale "first look" recaps about things you connected days ago; those only make sense right after you connect.
Repeating events on your Apple Calendar now show up on the right days: weekly workouts and other recurring events appear when you ask about your schedule, instead of only on their original dates.
Pally no longer says a booking or request was submitted while it's still working on it: you get a clear in-progress note, and a confirmation only when it has really gone through.
Pally stopped offering features your plan doesn't include (like offering to phone a restaurant on the free plan) when it reports back on work it did for you.
Onboarding tip numbering is fixed: your first tip says 1/5 again, and a tip that waits for a better moment is sent later instead of silently skipped.
Fixed reading your Granola meetings: recent meetings, notes, and summaries come through cleanly and reliably instead of sometimes garbled or missing.

August 8, 2026

New features

Pally now keeps real trackers for you: ask it to track calories, workouts, medications, sleep, or anything you'd use a spreadsheet for, and it sets up a log, records entries as you mention them, and gives you accurate daily, weekly, or monthly totals and trends.
Your trackers also show up in your dashboard, so you can browse everything Pally has logged for you in a clean table.
Pally can now work with your LinkedIn through your paired Mac: it reads your DMs, helps with replies, sends messages after you approve them, and finds the right connections or past conversations by meaning rather than exact words.
Send a PDF into a group chat with Pally and it can now read it and answer questions about it for everyone.
Pally can now transcribe scanned documents: when a PDF has no text layer, it reads the pages themselves.
Pally can now actually unsubscribe you from unwanted emails: ask it to unsubscribe from a newsletter or sender (or let a spam automation handle it) and it uses the email's own unsubscribe mechanism instead of just archiving.
Your dashboard has a new Unsubscribes page: a simple table of every unsubscribe Pally has requested for you, with the sender, how it was done, and whether it worked.

Improvements

Pally no longer asks you to confirm look-only commands on your Mac: checking things like what's on your Desktop or finding a file just runs, while anything that changes, sends, or deletes something still asks first.
Pally is much better at reading PDFs and other documents: it reads a PDF straight from your Google Drive, follows shared Drive links to the actual file, and pulls the full word-for-word text of long documents instead of a short summary.
Custom automations now have the same deep Slack and iMessage reading abilities as Pally itself, so a "scan everything" automation truly scans everything.
WhatsApp pairing instructions now arrive as separate short texts: the code on its own, then iPhone steps, then Android steps, so nothing gets lost in one dense block.
When your feedback on a drafted message is ambiguous, Pally now asks what you meant instead of just noting it and moving on.
Coding agents on your Mac are much smoother to start: Pally now knows which git repos are on your Mac (it finds them during setup), so you can just name a project instead of spelling out a folder path. If a repo isn't there yet, Pally offers to clone it instead of giving up.
Folder access on your Mac now sticks: approve a folder once and Pally remembers it until you withdraw it, instead of sometimes asking again for the same folder.
Pally now sends a quick heads-up like "checking your calendar" almost every time you ask it to do something, so you always know it's on it before the full answer arrives.
If you never got Pally's contact card, Pally now shares it with you the next time you chat, so it's easy to save Pally in your contacts.
Pally now double-checks before nudging you about a message: it re-reads the conversation first, so it won't chase you about something you already answered days ago.
Voice-note replies now count as replies: if you answered someone with a voice note, Pally won't claim the conversation is still waiting on you.
When you ask "what needs a response from me?", Pally checks your inboxes fresh instead of repeating an older summary, and it won't call an old request "today's".
When Pally helps you draft a reply to a message from a few days ago, it accounts for the time that's passed, so no more "good luck in the meeting" after the meeting already happened.
Browser errands are much more autonomous: sign-in links only when you actually need to act, fewer duplicate status messages, and honest updates when something goes wrong instead of vague blame.
Pally no longer refuses to complete a confirmed checkout over harmless observations, and tells you plainly when one of its own safety checks stopped an order.
Pally now suggests a site's email-code sign-in when that works better inside the secure browser than Google or Apple sign-in.
Pally now comes back with something useful from your first connected account within a few minutes of connecting it, without waiting for you to finish setup or say "done".
Pally's first reply is more helpful: ask for something and it just does it; say hi and it shows what it can do on the spot instead of asking you to connect things first.
Onboarding tips are smarter: they pick up where you actually left off, like finishing a half-done pairing with a fresh code, in your language, and they won't nag you about not replying.
If a connect link or pairing code expires before you finish, Pally notices and offers a fresh one instead of going quiet.
Before you download the Mac companion, Pally tells you up front exactly what access it will ask for: a couple of one-click folder grants, never full disk access.

Bug fixes

Fixed a gap where alerts from a connected account like Slack could silently stop: Pally now notices when the account stops sending it new-message signals, repairs it automatically, and tells you if it can't.
Scheduled recaps now deliver the whole update you asked for: nothing gets dropped between what Pally found and what actually gets texted to you.
Pally now reads rapid back-to-back texts as one thought, so finishing your sentence in a second bubble won't get "looks like your message got cut off".
Fixed reminders that could arrive as a stub like "done." instead of the actual reminder text: the reminder message you asked for is now always what gets sent.
Fixed a bug where a secure browser link could arrive already dead: re-staging a checkout in the same browser session was closing that session right before the link reached you.
Sign-in links are more reliable when a site opens a Google sign-in window: the keyboard stays available, and a small hint tells you to tap the field if typing hasn't started.
A quick "ok" in reply to one of Pally's tips now acts on that tip instead of getting a confused "what's up?".
Fixed duplicate messages during your first days: no more repeated intros or two copies of the same connect link.

August 7, 2026

New features

You can now personalize your referral link: pick a custom code so your link reads like your name, not a random string. Your old links keep working after you change it.
Ask Pally to refer a specific friend: it looks them up in your contacts, drafts a personal intro you approve, and can send it from your own iMessage, WhatsApp, email, or Slack. Your friend's Pally starts their first chat already knowing who they are and how it can help.
Pally closes the loop on your referrals: a quick heads-up when someone you invited gets set up, and a gentle note if they haven't joined yet.

Improvements

When something on Pally's side keeps failing, you'll now hear about it each time you're affected instead of getting one notice and then hours of silence.
Pally is much less pushy about setup: it no longer suggests connecting apps you've said no to, and only brings up connecting something when it's actually needed for what you asked.
When Pally texts you something from your email, like a sign-in code, it now sends just the answer without tacking on a link to the email. You can still ask for the email link whenever you actually want it.
When you sign into a site through one of Pally's secure browser links, that login is now saved for future browser tasks instead of being lost when the session ends.
Browser shopping and booking are dramatically more reliable: ordering products, buying event and cinema tickets, and reserving restaurant tables now get all the way to the final review step instead of stopping partway with an excuse.
Pally keeps its place in a browser flow: follow-ups like "actually make it two tickets" continue the same checkout instead of losing the session or refusing because an earlier step is still waiting.
Pally now always knows the full extent of what it can do: ask "can you...?" and it checks its real, live ability list instead of guessing or underselling itself.
Hitting your monthly usage limit no longer cuts you off from Pally: you can keep chatting while the heavier work is paused, and Pally can explain what is paused and help you upgrade if you want everything back right away.
Pally's background work - research, briefs, digests, and proactive updates - now runs on the same top-tier intelligence as live chat, so what comes back is noticeably sharper.
Pally thinks harder on genuinely hard asks: complex multi-step requests get deeper reasoning instead of one-size-fits-all effort.
Better recall in long conversations: the older parts of a chat stay summarized and usable instead of fading away.
Sharper memory on short follow-ups like "yes, book it" - Pally connects them to what you were just talking about.
Pally is much more concise: straight answers first, fewer filler sentences, shorter lists.
Faster, steadier replies: less waiting before Pally starts on a message, and lookups that return something huge or get stuck no longer drag the whole reply.

Bug fixes

Fixed a bug that could make Pally go completely silent for some users on the Max plan - messages were arriving but replies failed behind the scenes. Replies are back to normal.
Cleaned up a rare glitch where a stray "---" divider line could appear in a text from Pally.
If you texted Pally while your plan was fully paused, those messages now get answered as soon as reduced service kicks in, instead of sitting unanswered until your next billing period.
Mac companion setup now always includes the correct download link with your pairing code, and Pally keeps it on hand for follow-up questions instead of ever guessing at a broken one.
Pally now double-checks that links on its own site actually work before texting them to you.
Fixed replies like "checking now, back in a sec" that weren't followed by an actual check - Pally now does the lookup before replying.
Fixed a bug where a quick "yeah" answering Pally's latest question could be misread as approval for an older queued message and send it. Approvals now stick to what you are actually replying to, and Pally asks when it is not sure.
Location reminders are now upfront when Share My Location isn't set up yet: Pally tells you the reminder is waiting on setup instead of quietly never firing, and it starts working the moment you turn sharing on.
Fixed a bug where browser tasks could stop working entirely after a staged purchase expired unconfirmed, with every new browser request failing straight away.
Reminders like "in ten minutes" are now more precise: Pally schedules them from the moment you asked and catches any scheduling mistake before confirming, so a reminder never lands at the wrong time or in the past.
When you hit your automation limit, Pally now sees exactly which automations count toward it, so it can tell you which ones to pause to free a slot and which built-ins are always free.
Fixed Pally re-running an older search when you say "try again" right after a different one - it now retries the thing you just asked about.

August 6, 2026

New features

Pally now shares its contact card automatically with its first message, so you can save it right away and see Pally's name and photo on the chat.
Pally now knows when its messaging provider has an outage or scheduled maintenance, and can give you a heads up if your texts or its replies might be delayed during that window.
Your morning brief now takes care of the follow-through: Pally starts tracking the few most important open loops for you and just tells you, with a quick way to drop any you don't want.
Verification code emails now have a fast lane: when a 2FA or sign-in code lands in your inbox, Pally texts you the code right away with a link to the email.
Pally can now run coding agents on your Mac: text it to start Claude Code or Codex working on separate copies of a project, send follow-up direction mid-run, and get pinged only when an agent finishes, fails, or needs you. Risky commands pause and ask you in chat first - terminal commands you already trust run automatically - and an approval waits for you as long as it needs, with one reminder if you haven't answered. Sessions survive restarts and reboots, and Pally reports what each session cost.
Pally in group chats now has the full toolkit: ask it something in a group and it can use your own connected apps and info on your own plan, just like your 1:1 chat - private answers go to your DM, and anything that sends on your behalf still asks you first.
Friends in your group chats can now join Pally right from the group: whoever added Pally counts as their referrer, so signing up comes with the usual referral perks.
Anyone in a group can now schedule personal updates posted into the group, like a morning availability post, using their own account.
Pally can now send real photos: ask for pictures of a restaurant, product, or place and they arrive as actual photos in the chat. Photos you send Pally can be saved and sent back later, and recommendations for places like restaurants and hotels now come with a couple of photos so you can get a feel.

Improvements

Onboarding tips are friendlier and more hands-on: each tip starts with a 💡 and leads with Pally doing the thing for you or taking the first step, instead of asking whether you'd like a nudge.
When you ask for updates in your own exact format - like a stats report with an emoji before each line - Pally now keeps your emojis and layout instead of restyling them, and reports you've asked to receive as one message arrive as a single text.
Message approval requests are easier to read: Pally shows you what it wants to send and to whom first, with the "good to send?" question at the end.
When you tell Pally it missed an important email, it learns what mattered about it - the sender, the thread, what counts as important to you - so the same kind of email gets surfaced next time.
Plans you make with friends that still need a confirmation - like tomorrow's breakfast - are now a top priority: Pally spots them in your chats and reminds you in time, instead of letting routine email updates crowd them out.
When you travel, Pally's briefs, reminders, and sense of "tonight" now follow the timezone you're actually in, not just your home timezone.
When you dictate the exact message to send, Pally sends it without asking you to confirm again.
Pally is quicker to let you know it's on it: when a request takes real work, it sends a fast heads-up like "checking your calendar" before digging in, and the typing dots now show only while Pally is actually writing back.
A simple "yes please" is now enough to confirm a change Pally just offered to make to one of your automations - no more being asked to repeat a specific phrase.
Scheduled updates like briefs and digests are now smarter about volume: before sending, Pally checks what it has already sent you recently, so you get fewer piled-up messages when you haven't had a chance to respond.
Pally in group chats now chimes in whenever a message says its name, not just when you tag @pally or reply to one of its messages.
Pally now explains its texting setup clearly: you can text with Pally over iMessage, SMS, or RCS from any phone, while inbox management (reading and replying as you) covers iMessage on a Mac and WhatsApp.
Pally checks your calendar, email, and files first instead of asking you for details it can already look up.
If Pally is auto-replying to friends for you and your Mac goes offline, it now knows and tells you straight away instead of assuming everything is still running.
Ask Pally about your LinkedIn network, like who you know in a city, and it now offers a real way to help: send it your LinkedIn connections export and Pally fills in public details like location and company, instead of dodging the question.

Bug fixes

Pally's contact card now always carries the exact number your chat is on, so saving it puts Pally's name and photo on the conversation like you'd expect.
Pally now keeps better track of WhatsApp and iMessage chats with similar names: when it asks which one you meant, it remembers exactly which chats it offered and reads the one you pick, instead of losing track and saying it can't find the group.
When someone cancels a meeting because they're rescheduling it, Pally now just gives you the heads-up instead of drafting an unnecessary "happy to reschedule" reply.
Fixed a rare case where a finished piece of background work - like a document Pally compiled for you - never made it back to the chat. Compiled documents now arrive as file attachments, and Pally notices a missed delivery and brings you the result.
Usage limits now reset fairly when a trial ends or your plan changes, so usage from a bigger plan never counts against a smaller plan's allowance.
Fixed a rare stall where Pally's background work - meeting prep, scheduled check-ins, and automations - could get stuck behind a jam and run up to 45 minutes late. These run on time again.
Fixed saving shared group memories: asking Pally to remember something for the group could silently fail before.
Fixed a bug where a message you asked Pally to send could silently never go out: Pally now either sends it or tells you it couldn't.
You no longer get two copies of the same alert when one email shows up in two of your connected inboxes, and Pally's first welcome text no longer arrives twice.
Fixed a rare glitch where a text you sent Pally could be dropped without a reply, and another where a reminder Pally just set for you could quietly disappear.
Fixed a setup glitch where an automation watching a specific email account could be saved in a way that made it silently never fire.
Texts to a contact you'd already put on auto-send no longer stop to ask your permission before sending.
Fixed a glitch where Pally could suddenly mention ignoring a suspicious message or "injection attempt" that never actually existed.
When Pally texts one of your contacts from your Mac, it now sends in their existing chat using the right service - iMessage, RCS, or SMS - instead of always trying iMessage.
Asking Pally to stop entirely now shows up correctly everywhere, so you won't keep getting attention as an active user after you've said goodbye.

August 5, 2026

New features

Pally can now send files and react with tapbacks in group chats, alongside the image creation that arrived the same day.
Superhuman users now get first-class support: tell Pally you use Superhuman when connecting email and it works with your Superhuman setup, and if you're on a Superhuman Business or Enterprise plan you can also link Superhuman itself for extras like seeing who opened your emails and drafts written in your Superhuman voice.
Pally can now read PDF attachments (tickets, letters, forms) and tell you exactly what they say.
You can now ask pally for the exact text in a screenshot or photo, word for word, not just a description.
Pally can now create images in group chats.
You can now connect Zoom so pally can schedule, update, and cancel Zoom meetings for you.
Pally's alerts and briefs now come with the work already done: when something needs a reply, a booking, or a scheduling answer, pally attaches a ready-to-approve draft or offers to handle it - across email, WhatsApp, iMessage, and Slack - instead of leaving it on your to-do list.
When someone is waiting on your availability, pally checks your calendar and proposes a concrete time instead of telling you to pick one.
Pally now keeps a precise log of every action it takes - ask "what have you done today?" or "did you send that email?" and you'll get a straight, accurate answer, including an honest "that wasn't me" if something else touched your accounts.

Improvements

Asking Pally to stop or back off now really stops everything: scheduled updates like the morning brief and meeting prep pause too, Pally confirms exactly what it paused, and one message brings any of it back. There's also a new scheduled-briefs toggle in your dashboard notification settings.
When something you asked for during a call doesn't go through, your call summary and history now say so plainly instead of listing it as done.
Web research is faster and more powerful: one search system now handles quick current facts, opening sources, and deeper multi-source digging, with stronger citations and better company and market research.
You can now text with Pally from Android phones: the Pally number speaks RCS and SMS as well as iMessage.
The monthly caps on web research and browser tasks are gone: every plan, including Free, now includes unlimited web research, bookings, and purchases.
Email search on personal Hotmail and Outlook accounts now digs much deeper, working around a Microsoft limitation, and tells you exactly how far back it looked.
If a long-running background job stalls, pally now tells you instead of going quiet.
Codes you need to type or copy, like the WhatsApp pairing code, now always arrive as their own message with nothing else in it, so one tap copies exactly the code.
When the same thing keeps needing attention, like a failing card or a noisy sender, pally now suggests a lasting fix such as a standing rule or unsubscribe instead of pinging you again.
If a request needs a higher plan, pally now does the closest included version right away instead of stopping at an upgrade suggestion.
Reminders and calendar saves are more resilient: brief provider hiccups retry automatically, and if something still fails pally says so and offers the next-best way to cover it.
Pally's everyday tone is a little warmer and more personal: it takes genuine interest, remembers what matters to you, and feels more like texting someone who knows you.
Pally now gets to know your tastes: before booking or buying something for you, it checks what it already knows you like (direct flights, seat class, budget vs treat-yourself), asks once when something important is unknown, and remembers your answer so you never have to repeat it.
Pally can now read many websites that used to block it, like ticket sites, store listings, and review pages, so it can pull details from links that previously came back empty.
Pally now replies a few seconds sooner to short questions like "can you check this?": an old extra wait meant to catch a photo arriving right after your text has been removed.
Pally's very first reply when you join now arrives as a few short texts instead of one long message, matching how Pally texts everywhere else.
Alert volume is now smarter: before pinging you, Pally considers how many times it has already interrupted you recently, so a busy inbox doesn't turn into a noisy phone - lower-priority items go to your daily brief instead. And you can always ask for quieter (or instant) alerts.
Calling Pally now picks up where your texts left off: the call knows what Pally messaged you recently, so you don't have to re-explain why you're calling.
When you ask Pally to quiet down, it now treats that as a signal about all its alerts, not just the one you named, and hidden background watchers respect it too.
Pally is more decisive when checking whether a contact or phone number is legitimate: strong evidence gets a clear answer instead of an over-cautious hedge.
Pre-meeting briefs are sharper: they focus on who you're meeting - your history together, open threads, and fresh news about them - and no longer treat someone you already know as a brand-new contact.
Pre-meeting briefs are more dependable: meetings booked or moved the same day get a brief too, not just ones already on your calendar earlier.

Bug fixes

Pally now reliably sends the heads-up it owes you when a connection breaks, like iCloud rejecting an expired app password, a Mac permission being lost, or WhatsApp getting unlinked.
Fixed a bug where a stray internal word like "skip" or "silence" could occasionally be texted to you.
Pally now always answers a friendly new message even if an earlier message tried to trick it into staying silent.
When Pally promises to do something as soon as you connect an app, like adding an event right after you link your calendar, it now follows through on that promise automatically instead of just confirming the connection.
Setting reminders is more dependable, with a clear explanation on the rare occasion something does fail.
Custom daily summaries you create can now read your Apple Calendar, and Pally is more accurate about which calendars and accounts are actually connected.
Telling Pally to ignore messages from someone now sticks: a quick "ignore" to an unwanted update becomes a lasting preference instead of a one-time dismissal.
If a message from Pally fails to deliver, Pally now notices the gap, catches you up sooner, and re-sends the exact same draft instead of a reworded one.

August 4, 2026

New features

New users now get a short daily onboarding tip during their first days, each one a concrete idea for something genuinely useful Pally can do, like connecting email, tracking messages, or calling Pally to talk through your inbox hands-free. Existing users get the tip series once too, so nobody misses features they'd love.
Pally's welcome message now mentions that these ideas are coming over the next few days, and the "still interested?" check-in for quiet new signups waits until the tips have finished instead of arriving after day one.

Improvements

Email and Slack watching is more dependable: Pally verifies its inbox subscription is actually live the moment you connect an account and keeps re-checking it afterward, so alerts can't silently stop while the connection still looks healthy.
Important-email alerts now cover all your connected email accounts, and Pally can tell you exactly which inboxes a watch covers.
New automations get a startup check, so one that silently fails to start gets caught and fixed instead of never running.
Reminders you've already handled ("took my pill") won't fire anyway a little later; Pally checks the conversation first.
Tools that only read data (like looking up your website's pages) no longer ask for approval on every single step, and unclear step results get explained instead of a canned "couldn't confirm it finished".
More honest error messages: no more "the team has been alerted" when nothing of the sort happened, and no more made-up personal details in casual chat.
Pally now uses its own judgment for every incoming email and Slack alert instead of rigid keyword filters, so important automated messages like failed deployments or payment problems are no longer silently ignored.
Email alerts are now instant: Pally judges each new email the moment it arrives instead of waiting up to 15 minutes, so a reply you're waiting on gets flagged right away. Asking Pally to watch a thread now means exactly what it says.
Moving in from another assistant is smarter: Pally only brings over skills it can actually run for you, skips playbooks tied to hardware it can't reach, leaves imported notes older than six months behind, and reads dated notes with their date in mind so an old plan doesn't show up as this week's.
Pally is better at understanding requests phrased your own way: connecting apps, looking up current info, and pulling up your dashboard now rely on Pally's own judgment instead of fixed keyword matching, so fewer requests slip through.
Notices about referral credits and call usage are now written by Pally itself, so they read like the rest of your conversation.
Connected custom tools (like a website builder) are much more reliable: Pally checks an action's inputs against the tool's own rules before asking you to approve it, and when the tool rejects a step Pally sees the actual error and fixes its approach instead of silently retrying and re-asking.
Pally is faster and smarter at finding files on your Mac: it looks in the likely spots directly instead of scanning your whole home folder, and dead-end searches give up quickly instead of leaving you waiting.
Pally is now more reliable at reading your email, Slack, and calendar on the first try: fewer wasted retries on lookups that were doomed to fail, and better self-correction when a search needs different wording.
Creating a simple timed reminder no longer trips over location-reminder settings that don't apply, and task updates from your conversations are more dependable.
Dismissing one message or follow-up will no longer silence future alerts from the same person.
Before suggesting you test a call to your Pally number, Pally now checks that incoming calls are actually set up for your line and looks at what happened on your last attempt.
Background work is more dependable during busy stretches: tasks and automation triggers queued behind other work for the same account now wait their turn instead of occasionally being dropped.
Pally will now recognize when your carrier says a message was blocked and give useful next steps instead of repeating setup questions.
Pally's message alerts are better at catching last-minute changes to plans you already have, like a cancellation or new time for today's meeting, without interrupting you for routine scheduling chatter.
Connecting WhatsApp is smoother: if your pairing code expires before you finish, Pally sends a fresh one right away, the code arrives in its own easy-to-copy message, and Pally explains the new-device security notice up front so you don't remove it by mistake. If your linked session stays disconnected, Pally follows up once to help you relink.
Saying "stop texting me for now" now actually pauses everything non-essential, including weekly recaps, and recap numbers always come from your real data.
Non-urgent automatic updates now wait until morning instead of texting you in the middle of the night.
You can now move an approved scheduled message to a different time, including "just send it now".
Pally can now create events on your other calendars, set up repeating events, and add reminders. Meet links only get added when you ask.
Want to hear how Pally sounds on a call before committing? Just call your Pally number and chat, or ask Pally to call you for a quick test in the language or accent you care about.
Pally is now upfront that calling its number works from US phones only, instead of running checks and guessing when an international call doesn't connect.
Ask for a shared list or to export your data somewhere and Pally now offers something real: a shared Google Doc, Sheet, or Notion page it can keep updated for both of you, instead of saying it can't help.
Pally won't lecture you about messages you ask it to send to your own friends, and when a send isn't possible it tells you the real reason first.
When a message takes unusually long to reach Pally through the messaging network, Pally now knows and can acknowledge the wait instead of replying as if you just texted.
Ask Pally whether one of your automations actually ran and you'll get an answer grounded in its real run history, not a guess.

Bug fixes

Pally no longer replies to carrier auto-messages like "message blocking is active", so a blocked number can't trigger an endless texting loop.
A reply that failed to deliver is only re-sent while it's still fresh, instead of repeating an hours-old message out of the blue.
Late-night "remind me tomorrow" requests now get the exact date read back, so nothing lands a day later than you meant.
Fixed a glitch where an email alert could text you a stray internal note like "not worth surfacing" instead of staying quiet about unimportant email.
If your very first message to Pally arrived before it finished setting up your account, the welcome reply could silently fail to send over and over; first replies now deliver reliably, links and all.
Automations that look things up on social media now recover automatically from brief provider hiccups instead of skipping that run.
When your go-ahead on a queued draft is garbled or unclear, Pally now asks a quick clarifying question instead of firing off something you didn't mean to approve.
Telling Pally to back off or stop texting now actually switches off nudges and check-ins, not just that conversation.
Pally keeps learning your WhatsApp contacts even when a sync hits a snag partway through, instead of losing the whole pass, and a re-synced WhatsApp history no longer shows up as duplicate conversations.
If Pally's very first message to a new signup fails to deliver, Pally now notices and sends a friendly check-in the next day instead of going quiet forever.
Texts that the network confirms failed to deliver now get retried automatically, outdated failure notices can no longer override a retry that actually went through, and a rare crash can no longer permanently silence a pending retry.
Pally is more truthful about sends: it can no longer say something went out on WhatsApp when the message actually went through iMessage or email, and old already-replaced confirmations can't sneak back into later replies.
Fixed a Google connection trap: if you miss a permission checkbox during Google sign-in, Pally now catches it right away and asks you to reconnect, instead of the connection looking fine and then failing on you a day later.
Pally no longer notifies you about messages it sent itself.
Your scheduled updates respect the time you asked for, and you won't get two morning briefs in one morning.
Free restaurant reservation requests can now be approved like any other action, instead of being rejected for having no price.
Editing one detail of a calendar event no longer touches the rest, so events can't end up renamed to nothing.
Cleaner messages: no more stray "*" bubbles or garbled dashes, and system notices now arrive in the language of your conversation.
More consistent answers about your plan's connection slots, and asking to be called something like "instead" or "later" no longer confuses what Pally thinks your name is.

August 3, 2026

New features

When you ask Pally why an alert didn't text you, Pally can now check its own monitoring history and tell you exactly what it reviewed and why it stayed quiet, instead of guessing.
You can now connect Fathom by name, so Pally can look through your meeting recordings, transcripts, and summaries when you ask.
During your first few days, Pally will occasionally suggest one thing worth trying based on what it's learned about you, like having it watch your inbox or set up a custom routine. Quieter if you're already set up, and never a numbered tips series.

Improvements

Approving a draft is much simpler: a quick "sounds good" or a thumbs up just works, without Pally re-asking you to confirm.
Pally is more dependable about send status: repeated approvals can't double-send, and if a connection drops mid-send you get a clear "not sent" instead of an unclear outcome.
Pally's first message now gives you a quick sense of what it can actually do for you, instead of just saying hi.
Connecting apps from the dashboard is smoother: after you approve a connection, you land right back on your integrations page instead of a dead-end "close this tab" screen.
Pally's browser-powered website checks now run faster and finish more of what you ask.

Bug fixes

Fixed a rare crash that could make Pally go silent on a request and never follow up, especially when a reply included shopping or product links.
All-day calendar events now save as true all-day entries instead of odd late-night timed placeholders.
Fixed a bug where Pally could send two replies to the same message.

August 2, 2026

Bug fixes

Fixed a WhatsApp bug where sending to a contact you hadn't chatted with yet could fail right after you connected WhatsApp. When a number can't receive WhatsApp messages at all, Pally now tells you that instead of giving a vague error.

August 1, 2026

New features

The pally.com website has a new Recipes section: ready-made routines you can start with one text, each with a live demo of how the conversation goes. Browse them at pally.com/recipes.
You can now give Pally one-time access to your whole home folder when setting up Mac access, so it doesn't need to ask folder by folder.
You can now sign out of all devices at once from the dashboard's Settings page.

Improvements

When the Mac companion can't show the folder access window, Pally now tells you how to grant access instead of pointing you at a prompt that never appears.
Pally's texting now runs on a new, more reliable iMessage backbone for new conversations. Android (RCS/SMS) support is on the way as part of the same upgrade.
Signing in to the my.pally.com dashboard is much less annoying: you'll stay signed in while you're active, see far fewer "sign in again" interruptions, and land right back where you were after a re-sign-in.
The dashboard no longer asks you to sign in again for sensitive actions while you're already signed in; deleting your account keeps its extra confirmation.
When your Mac companion app is too old for something you asked for, like granting folder access, Pally now tells you it needs an update instead of reporting an unclear failure.
Pally now has much more room to finish long answers and structured work without being cut off partway through.
The my.pally.com dashboard navigation got a cleanup: a simpler menu with the everyday pages up front, an account menu with a proper sign-out button, and less clutter overall.

Bug fixes

Fixed a bug where asking Pally for access to Mac folders like Desktop or Documents always failed without ever showing the Grant Access window on your Mac.
Fixed a bug where running Mac terminal commands in home folders like Desktop could fail because Pally had to guess your Mac username. Pally also says clearly now when a folder doesn't exist on your Mac.
When you ask Pally to send a calendar invite for a call or meeting with someone, it now actually invites them: it looks up their email, or asks you who should be on the invite, instead of quietly creating an event on your calendar alone. Plain "add this to my calendar" requests stay instant and private.
Fixed a bug where Slack alert automations could get stuck retrying when Slack rate limits them, quietly using up far more of your plan than they should.
Fixed a bug where WhatsApp contact syncing could silently stop updating what Pally remembers about some of your contacts.
Fixed an error that could stop a task update from saving when a very similar task already existed.
Fixed the approval flow so revising a draft no longer risks getting stuck in a confirmation loop.
Fixed a reliability gap where a scheduled must-send update could hit its run budget and finish without actually sending you the update.
