August 2026
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.
Move every Tuesday stand-up to 10am Singapore time.

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.
Save these links to my wiki and tell me what they connect to.
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.
Every evening at 6pm, list the chats I haven't replied to so I can follow up.

v0.5.0 · Wiki, Tasks, and custom skills

Review what you owe and what you are waiting on from Tasks.
Teach repeatable behavior with custom skills.
