Apple Approves Poke: First AI Agent in Messages for Business
Poke, an AI agent startup, is now the first approved for Apple’s Messages for Business platform. This means businesses can now use AI to handle customer inquiries via text messages on iPhones.
Apple has approved Poke, a startup that lets people interact with AI agents through simple text messages, as the first AI agent on its Messages for Business platform. This platform allows businesses to communicate with customers directly through the Messages app on iPhones. Poke’s AI agents can handle customer inquiries, provide information, and even complete tasks like booking appointments or tracking orders.
This approval is a big deal because it makes AI more accessible to everyday users. Instead of downloading a new app, you can now interact with AI agents through the Messages app you already use. Think of it like having a personal assistant in your text messages, ready to help with anything from checking store hours to canceling an order.
If you want to try Poke’s AI agent today, open the Messages app on your iPhone and look for a message from a business that uses Poke. You can start a conversation and see how the AI can assist you. For example, you can ask about product availability or get help with a return policy.
