Poke is a personal AI assistant from Interaction that works through the chat apps you already use — Apple Messages, WhatsApp, Telegram, and RCS — rather than its own app. It connects to email, calendar, and 30+ services to draft replies, manage your inbox, schedule, track health, and run proactive automations called "recipes." Most non-real-time use is free; for heavier use you negotiate a monthly price with its AI before subscribing.

    Lindy AI

    Agentic automation. Long-running agents instead of one-shot triggers.

    Builds AI agents that wait for emails, calendar invites, or webhooks — then take multi-step actions on your behalf. The 'agentic Zapier' pitch; strong for ops workflows that need judgement, not just routing.

    Meta (formerly Monica / Manus AI)

    General-purpose autonomous agent for research, ops, and content.

    Cloud agent that browses, drafts, schedules, and follows multi-step instructions over hours. Closer to a virtual operator than a coding tool — strong for non-code knowledge work. Acquired by Meta; product continues to ship.

    The Browser Company

    An AI-native web browser with chat and skills built into the URL bar.

    An AI-native desktop web browser from The Browser Company, the team behind Arc. Dia bakes a chat assistant and reusable 'skills' directly into the address bar, with awareness of your open tabs and browsing history, so you never need to copy context into a separate chatbot. It launched publicly on macOS in 2025. A free tier covers light AI use; a $20/month Pro plan removes the AI usage limits.
