Acquisition of The Interaction Company (Poke)
Devin-maker Cognition acquires Poke, the AI agent that texts inside Apple Messages
Cognition acquired The Interaction Company of California, maker of Poke — a proactive AI agent that messages users first and was the first AI agent approved to text natively inside Apple Messages, handling tasks like scheduling and flight booking. Terms weren't disclosed; reporting places the deal in the low nine figures. Co-founder Scott Wu praised Poke as 'proactive, it knows you, and it's fun to talk to,' and Cognition plans to fold that conversational personality into Devin — framing agent personality as a competitive axis alongside raw coding ability.
