Poke
Poke is a proactive AI assistant built by The Interaction Company designed to live inside existing messaging platforms (like iMessage, WhatsApp, SMS) rather than asking users to switch to new apps; it integrates with users’ email, calendar, and files to turn messages into action (e.g. drafting replies, rescheduling meetings, paying invoices) through short, conversational bubbles. The experience aims to feel natural; messages are brief, there are typing and read indicators, one-tap actions, and memory of context, so the assistant can behave more like a human conversational partner than a typical chatbot. It focuses on privacy and security, built to meet SOC-2 and CASA Tier-2 standards. Poke recently raised ~$15 million in seed funding, with a valuation of ~$100 million; early adopters (around 6,000 testers) have already been using it heavily in iMessage, sending on average tens of thousands of messages per month.
