AI编码初创公司Cognition宣布收购AI助手Poke及其母公司The Interaction Company[1]。此次交易价格为低9位数[1]，旨在将Poke的交互模型和人格特征融入Cognition的编码助手Devin中。Cognition首席执行官Scott Wu表示，"The Interaction团队打造了一款用户热爱的代理——它主动出击、了解你、交互有趣。这正是与Devin协作应有的感觉，现在我们可以共同构建它"[1]。
Poke在用户基础和市场认可度方面展现出强劲表现[1]。过去三个月内，该平台的月均消息交互量超过1亿条[1]，并于今年6月成为首个获批在Apple Messages for Business平台运行的AI代理[1]。收购完成后，Poke将获得Cognition的模型和基础设施支持以提升性能，同时Cognition也能通过整合Poke的交互设计能力，让Devin变得更加可用和人性化[1]。
Cognition, an AI coding startup, has acquired Poke and its parent company The Interaction Company for a low nine-figure price [1]. The acquisition aims to integrate Poke's interaction model and personality traits into Cognition's coding assistant Devin, making it more user-friendly and human-like [1].
Scott Wu stated that "The Interaction team has built an agent that people love: it's proactive, it knows you, and it's fun to talk to. That's exactly how working with Devin should feel, and now we get to build it together" [1]. Under the deal, Poke will leverage Cognition's models and infrastructure to improve its performance, while Cognition gains access to Poke's interaction capabilities [1].
Poke has demonstrated significant user engagement, handling over 100 million messages in the past three months [1]. The AI assistant launched in March 2026 and achieved a notable milestone in June when it became the first AI agent approved to operate on Apple Messages for Business platform [1]. However, according to Marvin von Hagen, Poke faced high operational costs that made profitability difficult [1].
