Poke

Poke is an AI personal assistant that lives in text messages and works with multiple messaging platforms to help manage daily tasks and integrations. It targets users who want a proactive helper that can handle reminders, automations, and information across their connected apps. Poke emphasizes privacy and a personal touch within familiar message interfaces.

Poke operates by integrating apps and services through a recipe-based system. Users set up integrations, automations, and onboarding questions via Kitchen, and can share or publish recipes for others. The system supports authentication via a browser flow and CLI, and can bridge local or remote MCP servers for custom workflows.

Core capabilities include connecting apps, creating reminders, running real-time automations, and using memory to stay proactive. Poke offers different plan levels with frontier models, higher rate limits, and priority support to suit varying needs and usage, while enabling developers to extend with Poke Kitchen and custom integrations.

It also mentions the Poke Kitchen, MCP integrations, and a public docs system for creating recipes, indicating a scalable, developer-friendly ecosystem across web and messaging platforms.
