What's new

v0.15.16 · Chats without drafts, and complete task lists

For a chat you message often, say “send to Ravi without drafts” in your self-chat. Messages you ask Perisclaw to send there then go out straight away, with no draft to approve. Say “always draft for Ravi again” to undo it. See Permissions & access.

• Ask what's pending and you get every open task. Past 12, Perisclaw leads with the 10 most important, says how many more are open, and lists them all when you ask.
• Ask which message a task came from and Perisclaw names the chat, who sent it, and when.
• With Google Calendar connected, a new or changed invite updates the task it belongs to. It can give the task a date or close a “set up a call” task. An invite on its own never becomes a task.
• Tasks you add yourself, or tell Perisclaw to keep, are no longer closed for going quiet. On Done, Reopen also brings back a task Perisclaw closed on its own.
• Tell Perisclaw something isn't working and it offers to report it to Perisclaw Support. Say yes and the report goes to your Perisclaw Support chat, where you can add detail.
• Change a Mission partway through a long job, like reviewing a list, and the change reaches the work under way instead of starting it over.
• An Automation that asks again until someone replies now sends every reminder, not just the first. If setting one up stops partway, Perisclaw tells you what it saved.
• Message rules that forward matches to your self-chat, or reply in the chat a message came from, send again.
• Tasks opens faster, and voice notes Perisclaw speaks for you are ready sooner.

v0.15.14 · One address for every AI client

The MCP page in your dashboard now shows the same address the ChatGPT and Claude plugins use. A connector you add by hand gets the same catch-up and reply cards. Connections you already set up keep working.

• Use with Claude & other AI now has a Claude section.
• Perisclaw can format cells in Google Sheets, such as a bold header row, without changing the values.
• Tasks closes items that have been quiet for a week with nothing left for you to do. Items like payments and deliverables, and anything snoozed, stay open.

v0.15.13 · Tips only when they help

The daily 11 AM tip is gone. Perisclaw now mentions a feature you haven't used only when your message fits it, at most once a day. If you've been quiet for a few days, one tip may appear in your morning digest. Say “stop the tips” to turn them off.

v0.15.11 · Email in Tasks, and a pause for all sending

Connected Gmail now feeds Tasks. When an email needs a reply, the task carries a ready draft that goes out only when you approve it: tap Send email, or tell Perisclaw to send it.

• Pause all sending from your self-chat. Nothing goes to any other chat until you resume.
• Automations can organize Gmail and save draft replies. They never send or delete mail.
• Missions and Automations check the chat again before they send. If someone wrote in the meantime, the message is held. A reminder to someone is skipped when they've already done it.
• Say “stop the visa mission” to end a Mission from self-chat.
• Morning digests arrive reliably, even on busy mornings.
• After a missed payment is paid, your assistant comes back more reliably.

v0.15.9 · The browser finishes the errand

The Browser can now download a bill or receipt and send it to your self-chat, upload a file you sent it, and hand you the payment link or QR code at checkout. Pay, reply “paid,” and it checks the order and fetches the receipt. You can stop a task at any time.

• A closed browser now shows as Closed, and a stalled live view offers Reconnect.
• You see 👀 as soon as your message arrives, and ❌ if a file you sent never came through.
• Reply to a digest by number, like “2 is done,” and Perisclaw closes that item in your latest digest.
• If WhatsApp won't let Perisclaw add someone to a group, they get an invite instead.
• Scheduled Automations no longer skip a run without telling you.
• Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI clients can send files through your WhatsApp.
• Adding a card during your trial is confirmed straight away, and your trial end date stays the same.
• Dashboard menus work fully from the keyboard.

v0.15.6 · Drafts that sound like you

Drafts now follow how you write in each chat. React 👍 in your self-chat to approve any message Perisclaw proposes to send.

• Claude, ChatGPT, and Codex can open WhatsApp attachments. You can finish setting up Perisclaw inside your AI app's sign-in window, and Claude and Cursor connections stay signed in.
• The WhatsApp sign-in code message has a Sign in link and a Copy code button. A number that isn't registered yet goes to sign-up instead of an error.
• Signing in and opening Tasks are fast again.
• Delete Account removes every number, stored connection, and your login.

v0.15.0 · Sign in with your WhatsApp number

On the sign-in page, enter your WhatsApp number and choose Continue with WhatsApp. Perisclaw Support sends you a 6-digit code. See Signing in.

• Permissions is simpler: Hard rules and Blocked chats. To have Perisclaw answer in a chat, ask in your self-chat and it sets up an Automation. Send /claw stop to stop a reply under way.
• Turning off an Automation also stops any run already under way.
• Tasks cards show what your last answer led to.
• The live Browser view fills large screens.

v0.14.10 · Connect Gmail

Connect Gmail from Apps → Google. Perisclaw can then search, read, draft, and send email when you ask. Each account shows its sync status, and a Reconnect button if access runs out.

• Learn more in Connect your apps.
• The live Browser view is sharper.

v0.14.8 · Swipe through Tasks again

Swipe a card right to mark it done, or left to snooze it until tomorrow morning. The tabs now fit on phones. To add a task, message Perisclaw.

v0.14.7 · A new Tasks home, and a browser Perisclaw can use

Tasks is now the first page you see. It shows one card at a time, with the next step ready to send.

• Browser lets Perisclaw use websites for you. Watch it live, take over when it needs you, and save logins in the Browser Vault.
• When you first connect, Perisclaw reads your last week of chats to build your task list.
• Automations explain what they do in plain words.
• Missions answer what they can right away, then keep working in the background.

v0.14.5 · Approve drafts with one reaction

React 👍 to a draft to send it. There are no more duplicate approval prompts.

v0.13.4 · Safer phone changes and payment recovery

If you remove your phone, your trial or paid plan now keeps running until the end of the current period. Add a phone again before then and it carries on. Older subscriptions also retry a failed payment automatically. Read the release note.

v0.13.1 · Smoother renewals in India

New subscriptions in India approve recurring payments during checkout, so renewals are less likely to ask for another card check. Task buttons also respond straight away. Read the release note.

v0.12.0 · Easier WhatsApp setup

Linking WhatsApp is more reliable. Pairing codes work when you set up on one phone, a failed link shows clear next steps, and a short guided chat helps you get started. See Set up your assistant.

v0.11.0 · Free seven-day trial

Anyone can now try Perisclaw free for seven days, with no card needed. The trial starts when you connect WhatsApp.

• Scheduled work now lives in one place: Automations.
• Replies in WhatsApp are easier to read.
• These docs moved to a new, searchable site.

v0.10.0 · Missions, and a Perisclaw chat in the dashboard

Perisclaw can now take on bigger jobs and see them through.

• Missions handle goals that take several steps, chats, or days. Follow them from the Missions page.
• Chat with Perisclaw from any dashboard page. It's the same conversation as your WhatsApp self-chat.
• Perisclaw replies faster and tells you clearly when longer work is done or has failed.

Local currency at card checkout

Perisclaw's standard plans remain priced in US dollars, while Stripe can now show an eligible local currency and converted amount during checkout. The exact price and currency appear before you pay.

• New checkouts currently use card payment.
• Existing INR, UPI, prepaid, and active mandate arrangements keep their current terms unless you change the plan.
• Your dashboard Billing screen remains the source of truth.

Clearer INR pricing and more payment choices

Customers in India gained localized INR pricing, monthly UPI AutoPay, and prepaid annual checkout by UPI or card. Account removal also gained a safer cancellation check before destructive action.

Faster answers and cleaner follow-through

Perisclaw now loads less unrelated context into each request and brings in specialized instructions only when they are needed. Everyday replies feel faster while still using the relevant history.

• Commitment tracking and daily digests are less likely to repeat handled work. Review active items in Tasks.
• Blocked-chat boundaries are applied more consistently across search and retrieval. Review them in Permissions.
• Connected-client controls are clearer when external access changes.

v0.7.4 · More control and safer actions

Perisclaw carries less stale context into a new request, verifies calendar times after creating an event, and asks for a clear confirmation before one request reaches more than five chats.

• Completed search results are removed after they have done their job.
• Ambiguous calendar times are rejected instead of guessed. Learn more in the Calendar guide.
• Higher-volume sends continue only after you confirm.

v0.7.0 · A wiki you can browse

Saved knowledge gained a clearer home. Perisclaw gives saved items useful titles, files them into folders, and links related notes so you can browse or retrieve them later.

• Browse connected knowledge from the Wiki.
• Review what autonomous chat work can do from Permissions.
• Persistent reminders can continue until you confirm they are done.

v0.6.1 · More connection capacity

Perisclaw added server capacity after a connection backlog, so customers who had been unable to link WhatsApp could try again. This release did not add a new product capability.

v0.6.0 · Recurring work on autopilot

Routines (now called Automations) made it possible to describe recurring work once and let Perisclaw run it on a schedule.

• Review, pause, skip, edit, or remove scheduled work from the dashboard.
• Start from ready-made examples for agendas, digests, and reminders.
• Morning digests became more selective about unresolved work.

v0.5.0 · Wiki, Tasks, and custom skills

Perisclaw added three places for work that should outlive a conversation: saved knowledge, commitments, and instructions you teach your assistant.

• Save a message to your personal wiki by asking Perisclaw or reacting with a paperclip.
• Review what you owe and what you are waiting on from Tasks.
• Teach repeatable behavior with custom skills.

v0.4.0 · Apps and MCP connections

Perisclaw expanded beyond WhatsApp by connecting to other tools and by making your permitted WhatsApp context available to supported AI clients.

• Connect and manage services from Apps.
• Use more than one Google account for work and personal information.
• Connect Claude and other clients through the Perisclaw MCP server with the access level you choose.

v0.3.0 · More dependable everyday work

This release focused on reliability: cleaner digests, reminders with retries, steadier reconnects, and tighter write controls for autonomous work.

• Handled items stopped returning as new work in later digests.
• Background work recovered more cleanly after an interruption.
• /stop, /ignore, and /restart gave you direct control from WhatsApp.

v0.2.0 · Persistent chat sessions and contact memory

Perisclaw learned to stay with a conversation for a bounded period and to remember useful facts about the people you speak with.

• Use /claw to watch a permitted chat until a goal is complete or a time window ends.
• Choose whether it replies as you or identifies itself as Perisclaw.
• Save contact details such as roles, birthdays, and communication preferences.

v0.1.0 · Digests, notifications, and triggers

The first recorded Perisclaw update made the assistant more proactive without requiring you to keep checking WhatsApp.

• Daily digests focused more clearly on relevant work across chats.
• The web app could send push notifications for important updates.
• Message triggers could run a simple action when a condition matched.
• Talk added a live voice conversation with your assistant.
