Poke
Poke is a personal AI assistant from The Interaction Company, which says it is joining Cognition. You text it over iMessage, WhatsApp or Telegram, and it works with your email, calendar and contacts (Gmail and Outlook), sets reminders, runs automations and sends proactive updates from connected apps. Recipes add integrations such as Notion, GitHub, Linear and Oura, or your own through MCP. Every plan gets all of Poke: Free costs nothing, Pro is $19 a month and Ultra is $199 a month with pay-as-you-go usage and Poke Human, which sends real-world tasks to a person. This profile is based on official pages, not hands-on testing.

FAQ
How much does Poke cost?
Most of Poke is free, with no credit card required. Poke Pro is $19 a month and adds frontier models for complex tasks, real-time background automations and higher rate limits. Poke Ultra is $199 a month and uses frontier models for every action, with the highest rate limits, Poke Human and pay-as-you-go usage beyond your credits. You can ask Poke to help you upgrade.
How do I talk to Poke?
By text. Poke works in Messages, WhatsApp and Telegram, and you can send text or voice messages. You can change the channel at poke.com/settings/messaging; Poke may text from different numbers depending on the platform. Only one phone number per account is supported for now.
What can Poke connect to?
Gmail and Outlook inboxes, calendars and contact sync, plus integrations such as Notion, GitHub, Linear and Oura from the Recipes directory. Developers can add custom integrations through MCP and build recipes in the Poke Kitchen. Poke can also design and publish a personal site at yourname.poke.site after you claim a handle.
What is Poke Human?
Poke Human, included with Ultra, dispatches real-world tasks such as restaurant reservations, phone calls, orders and rides to a real person. Expenses the operator pays for you are charged at cost, with no markup, from your credit balance. Poke says operators see only the details a task needs, not your chat history, memories or integrations.
Does Poke train AI models on my data?
It can. Poke’s privacy policy allows user data to be used to train its AI models, except for users who select Maximum Privacy. If that matters to you, select Maximum Privacy.
How do I delete my Poke account?
Go to poke.com/settings/privacy and choose Delete Account. Poke says deletion can take up to 24 hours, removal from backups may not be immediate, and legal holds can extend retention in some cases.
