While you may still interact with a general-purpose AI chatbot like ChatGPT or Claude when you have questions or want to do research, you’d turn to Poke when you want to get something done quickly, or when you want to automate some task to save you time.

For instance, you could ask Poke to alert you to specific emails (like those from your family or your boss), or remind you in the morning if you need to take an umbrella with you. It could help you track your health and fitness goals, or let you know the score to last night’s game. Poke could send daily medication reminders, or catch you up on the day’s news, and more, since users can write their own automations in plain text and then share them with friends.

Backed by Spark Capital, General Catalyst, and other angels, the 10-person startup has more recently added another $10 million to its coffers, on top of last year’s $15 million seed round. It’s now valued at $300 million, post-money.

Starting today, personal superintelligence is just one tap away. No download, no signup. Text Poke for free now:https://t.co/VIWYU64dUI 🌴 — 0:00 – What's Poke? 0:50 – Introducing Poke Recipes 1:25 – Create a Recipe in 10 seconds 1:43 – Earn on Poke 2:44 – Build with npx… pic.twitter.com/LHLFRVgahk
