Poke
AI agents as easy as sending a text — automate your life via iMessage, SMS, or Telegram
Poke is a consumer AI agent platform that removes every technical barrier between a person and automation. Instead of installing apps, configuring webhooks, or writing prompts, you just text. The platform is accessible via iMessage, SMS, Telegram, and WhatsApp and arrives pre-loaded with 'recipes' — pre-built automations across health and wellness, productivity, finance, scheduling, home, travel, email, and developer tools. Connecting Gmail, Google Calendar, Strava, Fitbit, Philips Hue, Notion, GitHub, Supabase, and Vercel is a one-tap authorization flow. Developed by The Interaction Company, Poke launched publicly in early 2026 and quickly raised $10M in additional funding on top of a $15M seed round from General Catalyst and Spark Capital, valuing the company at $300M. The 10-person team's thesis is that the hardest problem in consumer AI isn't capability — it's distribution. Messaging apps are already installed, already trusted, already habitual. Poke meets users there. The product's killer insight is social obviousness: you know how to text. You've been texting for fifteen years. When AI agents live in that interface, adoption friction disappears. Poke is currently the clearest commercial execution of the idea that AI's next growth phase is not about smarter models, but about putting existing capabilities inside interfaces people already use without thinking.
