Poke announced on 2026-06-04 that it is officially approved by Apple to text through Apple Messages and markets itself as “the first and only AI agent” (chat available at Poke.com). Separately, @amrith expressed conflicted feelings about Apple acquiring Poke: simultaneously not wanting and wanting an acquisition.
Author @amrith tweeted ambivalence on 2026-06-04: “I don't want Apple to acquire them, but I want Apple to acquire them.”
I don't want Apple to acquire them, but I want Apple to acquire them.
