Poke, the AI assistant that texts like a friend, just got a major upgrade—its creators were acquired by Cognition for a whopping low nine-figure deal. Now, Poke’s warm, human vibe will merge with Cognition’s coding AI, Devin, turning him from a robot into a joke-telling colleague. This isn’t just about tech—it’s about making AI feel real, because people crave connection even in mundane tasks. With 100M messages sent in three months, Poke’s popularity is undeniable, though its costs were sky-high—until now. For now, Poke stays the same, but next year, expect Devin to remember things across chats and Poke to orchestrate coding tasks—aiming for a truly persistent, personal AI partner.
