After almost two years in Palo Alto, @Interaction is moving to SF.
Some opportunities are bigger than sunshine! 🌴
Cognition is acquiring @Interaction, the makers of Poke.
If you've ever used Poke, you know why we're so excited.

Hate on missing free food @interaction
Recipe that texts you whenever free food drops on your campus: poke.com/r/FxFfp9w2tmM

still find it genuinely crazy how @interaction were the ones to kick off this whole wave
Poke retweeted
it's still crazy to me how the email monitoring from poke by @interaction is still superior to any other agent i've ever used
Poke retweeted
I think @interaction has the best system still with Poke Human

@interaction saw this way earlier than everyone else fr
Poke deserves more credit for seeing this early.
Before every major AI lab started shipping personal agents, Poke was already exploring what it meant to have an AI you could simply text.
Now look at how far the idea has evolved:
• Poke: personal agent through messaging
• Instinct: personal agent with deeper capabilities
• Grok Bot: multiple personal agents that can coordinate
• Muse: Meta’s version of a personal agent
• Dots: OpenAI’s version of a personal agent
• Coral: a shared agent for the entire family
We’re moving towards agents that don’t just answer us, but know our context, access our tools, coordinate with others and actually get things done.
The personal agent era is here.

It's insane how early Poke was to personal agents playing with the idea of texting an agent.
Look at how far we've come:
- Flip: personal finance AI with text
- Fo: agent which can call, schedule and work
- Kat: fastest email reading and sending agent via imessage
- Instinct: one of the first iMessage agents to do real work
- Ecomerate: the first constant stock and supply chain research and monitoring agent all through text
The era of messaging is finally here.

We created a list of the most notable AI agents that can live in your text messages, from general assistants to agents designed for families, travel, and work.

It’s interesting that no one has built an all-in-one tool for personal agents (like @Muse, @instinct, @bot, @interaction) that hold all connections to third party companies. Convinced that this should be an independent product.
That way you can keep auth separate, audit what the agent does, set fine-grained permissions and easily switch between the agent apps.
I built it over the last few days with @hkonsti_. It’s open source and easy to self-host.
Now my Instinct has exactly the same tools as Claude Code on my laptop.
Poke retweeted
Not enough hype on @marvinvonhagen, @felixms and the entire @interaction team
It’s now obvious they were very early (and right!) to a massive new form factor and way of interaction
Thank you for your work in enabling consumer agents 🙏

One reason why I use iMessage agents like @interaction Instinct for daily stuff is the launch time. The ChatGPT app takes like forever to boot and by that time I have already sent that message in iMessage. And also the responses are shorter and quicker.

bought the @clickskeyboard power keyboard for $10 out of a bin and somehow still feel financially violated
BlackBerry muscle memory in 2026 is pure psychological warfare
@interaction was right, some hardware belongs in the museum

my agent stack
@DevinAI: makes me stuff
@interaction: day-to-day
@hark_labs: tasks that require a computer, brainstorming
My agent stack:
- @instinct - on-the-go purchases, form fill, local recs
- @Muse - mini-apps that require reliable connectors (ex. "track my sleep and movement, send me a survey daily")
- @tomo - motivation + goal tracking, also want to try their Interest Groups
- @bot - X feed monitoring + alerts
- Dots (@OpenAI) - deep, long-running projects...I'm currently making it start a business 👀
- @townai - everything work-related in email, Slack, docs
- @Tabdotbot - outbound phone calls / appts
