Pally
Pally is an AI personal assistant that operates primarily through messaging channels rather than a standalone app. It works over iMessage on iPhone, iPad and Mac, over RCS on Android, on Telegram via @PallyAI_bot, and can connect WhatsApp as an inbox it triages. Users text a phone number or message the Telegram bot; there is no app install or signup form for the core experience. Pally is developed by Pally, a Y Combinator-backed company. The assistant maintains memory across conversations and can connect to external services such as Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Google Calendar, Notion, Linear, Granola, iMessage, and WhatsApp, depending on plan. It can provide morning briefs, triage inboxes, set reminders, research the web, track flights and price drops, and complete web actions like bookings or purchases. For actions such as purchases and calls, Pally is designed to require user approval. Pally offers a Free plan, Pro at $25 per month or $250 per year, and Max at $100 per month or $1,000 per year. Paid tiers increase connected apps, automations, usage allowances, and add capabilities such as a dedicated phone number and an email address for correspondence. Availability and feature limits may vary by region and messaging platform.
