Pally

What is Pally

Pally is an AI personal assistant that lives in your texts and on Telegram. It works over iMessage on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, over RCS on Android, and on Telegram anywhere. Pally also connects WhatsApp as an inbox it can triage. There is no app to install and no signup form. You text a phone number, or you message @PallyAI_bot on Telegram and say hi. Either way you get the same Pally, the same memory, and the same connected apps. Pally is made by Pally, a Y Combinator-backed company.

How to use Pally

2. Connect your apps: iMessage, WhatsApp, Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Google Calendar, Granola, Notion, Linear, or Drive.
3. Interact with Pally via text for tasks, reminders, research, and errands.
4. Approve actions that leave your world, such as messages to others, purchases, or calendar invites.
5. Optionally, link a phone number for calls and a Pally phone number by texting a code Pally gives you.

FAQ

What platforms does Pally work on? Pally works over iMessage on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, over RCS on Android, and on Telegram anywhere. It also connects WhatsApp as an inbox it can triage.

Do I need to install an app? No, there is no app to install and no signup form. You text a phone number or message @PallyAI_bot on Telegram.

How does Pally take action? Pally searches the live web, digs into research, drafts messages, tracks your follow-ups, and can sign into your accounts through a secure browser link you log into yourself. It never sees or stores your passwords or codes. It can complete bookings, orders, or purchases for you, paying with a single-use virtual card capped at exactly what you approved. Anything that leaves your world, like a message to someone else, a purchase, or a calendar invite, is shown to you word-for-word and only happens after you say go. On Max, Pally can also call businesses for the user.

How does Pally handle data? Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and AI processing happens with Anthropic and OpenAI under their own privacy policies; they don't train their models on your data. You decide what to connect, approve, delete, and disconnect, and anything from outside your world is treated as information to read, never instructions to act on.

What are the requirements and limits? You need a phone that can text, or a Telegram account. Messages to other people, purchases, and calendar invites require the user's approval. WhatsApp connects as the user's own account through WhatsApp's Linked Devices flow. Calls and a Pally phone number need a linked phone. A Telegram-first user links one by texting a code Pally gives them.

Can I use Pally inside other AI apps? Yes, Pally runs a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, so AI apps that support MCP connectors, like Claude, can hold Pally conversations directly. The endpoint is https://agent.pally.com/mcp with standard OAuth discovery at /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server. Linking is user-initiated: an existing Pally user adds the connector, the authorize page shows a short single-use code, and the user sends that code to Pally in their own chat, on iMessage, WhatsApp, or Telegram. Pally never sends the first message. Replies delivered into a connected AI app are handled under that provider's privacy policy.
