Poke Gets Apple Approval as AI Agents Move Into iMessage Distribution
Poke received approval to operate on Apple's Messages for Business platform, adding iMessage to its AI-agent distribution channels.
The startup says it has relayed about 100 million messages and will pay Apple on a per-user basis, with exact pricing not disclosed.
The immediate test is whether iMessage access increases consumer use enough to justify the new platform cost.
