What is Pally?
Pally (YC S25) is an AI personal assistant you text like a colleague. It connects to messaging apps, email, calendars, and work tools, remembers people and context, and completes tasks—booking, buying, calling, researching, and reminding—with its own phone number and email for inbound requests. The product emphasizes relationship memory across contacts and positions heavily toward founders, investors, and salespeople managing large networks.
Key features
Text-First Interface
No dedicated Pally app required; works over iMessage, RCS/Android, Telegram (@PallyAI_bot), and SMS fallback.

Cross-App Automations
