Poke is an AI agent you text inside Apple Messages. Apple approved it on 4 June 2026 as the first standalone third-party AI agent on Messages for Business. Before that, the channel was used by brands such as airlines, retailers, and hotels to talk with their own customers.
People use Poke for email, calendar, reminders, and connected apps without installing a separate chat app. Apple still required a path to a live person. Poke had to show it could offer live support, label itself as an AI agent, submit testimony from its messaging providers, and match Apple’s interface rules.
