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.

Pros & cons

  • No new app — works in your messengers
  • Proactive automations ("recipes")
  • Connects email, calendar, 30+ apps
  • Free for most non-real-time use
  • Unusual negotiated pricing
  • Real-time automations cost more
  • Underlying models undisclosed
  • Consumer focus, not enterprise

    Lindy

    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.

    Worth knowing

    Founded by ex-Uber PM Flo Crivello, who pivoted to Lindy after his prior startup TeamFlow; ~$50M raised.

    Manus

    Meta (formerly Monica / Manus AI)

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

    Worth knowing

    China-founded (Butterfly Effect); cut Chinese ties, moved HQ to Singapore, then was acquired by Meta for ~$2B+ in Dec 2025.

    Dia

    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.

    Worth knowing

    The Browser Company sunset Arc to focus on Dia, then was acquired by Atlassian for $610M in 2025.
