Faster answers, cleaner follow-through, and plugin-ready WhatsApp
Release notes for Faster answers, cleaner follow-through, and plugin-ready WhatsApp.
August 21, 2026
Perisclaw now spends less time carrying instructions it does not need, keeps a cleaner view of who owes what, and is ready for the final OpenAI review steps that precede a public ChatGPT and Codex listing.
Faster, grounded answers
The assistant starts each conversation with a smaller working context and loads specialized skills only when the job calls for them. Everyday replies are quicker and less distracted, while status answers still verify the live chat or task before telling you what is pending.
Follow-ups you can trust
Perisclaw is less likely to file an ask that was already answered, put an action on the wrong person, keep a passed event open, or show the same matter twice. Those changes make digests and follow-up lists quieter and more faithful to the conversation.
Stronger privacy and connection controls
Chats you block from AI access now stay behind a hard boundary even when an assistant or connected app attempts a broad database, log, or workspace read. The connected-clients screen also makes permission differences, copy status, and revocation failures clearer so access is easier to understand and control.

Faster help when you need it
Perisclaw's support team now has one operational view of account activity, billing, logs, and runtime health. That shortens diagnosis while keeping the phone fleet on its reviewed source of truth.

Ready for OpenAI review
The WhatsApp MCP connection now includes the plugin package, safer permission and reconnect behavior, clearer setup guidance for ChatGPT and Codex, and the metadata OpenAI scans during submission. The plugin is not public yet: it still has to be deployed, scanned, reviewed, approved, and published in OpenAI's portal.
