Momentum
Poke is a text-based, proactive AI Assistant from The Interaction Company of California (Palo Alto) that runs directly in messaging apps like Apple Messages/iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS, and RCS instead of a standalone app. Poke integrates with email, calendar, and other services to handle tasks like scheduling, reminders, research, and automations directly in chat. The product launched publicly on September 8, 2025 at poke.com and was acquired in July 2026 by AI coding startup Cognition (Devin), but continues to operate under unchanged terms. The pricing model is unconventional: users can negotiate the subscription price interactively with Poke's AI personality.
