FAQs

No. Perisclaw connects to the number you already use as a linked device, then lives in your self-chat. Follow the visual Connecting guide to link it.

A chatbot mainly answers questions in a separate conversation. Perisclaw works from your WhatsApp, can use the conversations and apps you allow, and can keep work moving after the first answer: tracking a commitment, scheduling a reminder, or preparing a follow-up.

Include /claw in your message, for example “/claw what was the final decision here?” In other chats it stays silent until you call on it, unless you set up an Automation for that chat.

Yes. Open app.perisclaw.com/download/app on your phone: it takes Android to Google Play and iPhone to the TestFlight beta (the App Store listing is on its way). On a computer, the same page shows both and a code to scan with your phone. In the web app it is under Help, then Get the app.

Perisclaw understands most widely used languages. Speak or write naturally in the language you prefer; you do not need to change a setting first.

You usually do not need to choose. Describe the outcome in normal language and Perisclaw picks the right kind of work.

• Task: something you or another person has committed to do.
• Reminder: a nudge at a specific time or after a delay.
• Mission: a larger outcome that takes several steps to finish.
• Automation: repeatable work that starts on a schedule or event.

See Perisclaw basics for examples of each.

Yes. Perisclaw has its own Browser that can open websites, sign in, click, and fill in forms, and you can watch or take over from Browser in the web app. For actions inside a product it supports directly, connecting the app is faster and more reliable.

Yes. Connect Microsoft 365 from Apps to work with Outlook mail and calendar, OneDrive files, and Microsoft contacts. Google Calendar, Gmail, Drive, Sheets, and Contacts are also supported directly.

There is no hard limit. A shorter list keeps daily briefings short and helps important work stand out.

Yes. Your name, timezone, and general instructions are under Settings → Personalization. Rules it must always follow are under Hard rules on the Permissions page, and the procedures you have taught it are under Skills. See Personal memory.

Outside your self-chat it only acts through /claw and the Automations and Missions you set up, so pause the Automation that answers there. Say “never read <chat>” when you also want to block reading, searching, and quoting that chat. Blocked chats are listed on the Permissions page.

To ignore just one message, add /ignore. To stop a reply in progress in a chat, send /claw stop there. To halt current and queued work, send /stop in your self-chat.

Tell it exactly what to remove, for example “Forget that the client is not moving forward” or “Delete the task about the grocery list.” You can also close tasks yourself from Today in the web app.

When you summon it with /claw, it answers as the assistant, clearly labelled. A message it drafts and sends on your behalf (after you approve it in self-chat) goes out as you, with no assistant header, and so do messages from Automations and Missions. To send one message labelled as Perisclaw, ask for it: “send this to the group as Perisclaw.”

No. Broadcast-like sending can get a real WhatsApp number flagged as spam, so Perisclaw stops after 15 chats in one go, tells you who has and has not been messaged, and asks before continuing. Use a WhatsApp Community, channel, or opt-in group link for genuine announcements.

Yes, once that number has connected to Perisclaw. On the sign-in page, enter it under the Google button and choose Continue with WhatsApp. Perisclaw Support (+91 92057 59988) sends you a 6-digit code on WhatsApp. Type it in, or use Copy code under the message and paste it. On the phone that has WhatsApp, Sign in under the message opens your account in that phone's browser instead. Never share the code or the link; Perisclaw never asks you for them.

The standard monthly plan is $20 USD. Stripe may present an eligible local currency at card checkout. Your Billing screen is the source of truth for your exact price, currency, trial, and any discount attached to your account.

If your checkout includes a payment method, the plan continues according to the terms shown there. Without an active payment, the assistant pauses and the web app directs you to Settings → Billing.

Open an unpaid invoice and choose Pay now, or resubscribe from Billing to restore access. Permanently deleting the account is a separate action under Settings.

One Perisclaw account connects to one WhatsApp number. You can still use that WhatsApp account from its normal linked phones and desktop clients. To connect another number to Perisclaw, use a separate account.

Yes. A team plan puts everyone's Perisclaw on one bill, and each person keeps their own WhatsApp number and private assistant. Each seat is $20 a month, or $200 a year on an annual plan. To start one, go to Settings → Billing and choose Upgrade to Team.

No. Nobody on the team, including the owner, can read your chats or use your assistant or connected apps. The owner and admins only see your name, role, number, and whether it's connected.

When someone joins and no paid seat is free, their seat is charged right away for the rest of the billing period. When someone leaves, there's no credit, but the seat stays paid until renewal and the next person uses it at no extra cost. Only WhatsApp numbers take seats, so an admin or billing person without a number is free.

Your own plan ends when you join, and the unused part isn't refunded. If you leave the team later, your number goes back to your own account and your assistant pauses until you choose a plan.

No. Each account's memory, permissions, and WhatsApp number belong to one person. To bring a team together, use a team plan; everyone gets their own assistant on one bill.

Share your link from Settings → Refer a friend. When a friend subscribes through it, they get an extra free month after their 7-day trial, and you get a free month too.

Go to Settings → Billing and choose Add code under Have a referral code? Enter it before your first payment, because it can't be added after.

When your friend makes their first payment, usually at the end of their trial. It's applied to your upcoming bills automatically, and Settings → Billing shows when your next bill is covered.

Yes. Settings → Refer a friend shows how many you've earned so far. Friends you refer always get their own free month, even after you reach the limit.

No. Only personal accounts can refer and be referred. Team plans are separate.

Contact our support team on WhatsApp with the issue or idea. Include a screenshot when it helps, but never send a pairing code or private conversation content.

You can also tell Perisclaw in your self-chat that something isn't working. It offers to report it; say yes and it sends a short report from your WhatsApp to your Perisclaw Support chat, where you can add detail and Support replies.
