No outside agent can call it, no status page or changelog was found, and its llms.txt and pricing file disagree on free limits and Max's price.\n\n**Poke.** Hosted assistant that answers in Apple Messages, WhatsApp, Telegram and RCS and acts in Gmail, Outlook, calendars and MCP servers. Plan prices and a status page are public. No approval settings, credential storage, model providers or retention periods are documented, and customer content trains models unless Maximum Privacy is selected.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### folk\n\n1. Don't plan to call folk from another agent. It answers only the owner's iMessage, Telegram or WhatsApp thread and iPhone app.\n2. Quote limits and prices from pricing.md and the terms, and note that llms.txt gives different free-tier limits.\n\n### Poke\n\n1. POST JSON to `https://poke.com/api/v1/inbound/api-message` with a Bearer key from Kitchen. Legacy `pk_` keys work only on the deprecated `/api/v1/inbound-sms/webhook`\n2. Expect only `{\"success\": true}` back. Poke's answer goes to the owner's message thread, not to the caller\n3. Do not retry a POST blindly. No idempotency key is documented, and a repeated message may make Poke act twice\n4. Treat an API key as full access to the owner's mail, calendar and integrations. Create one key per automation and revoke it when done\n5. Avoid the prefilled integration link with `apiKey` in the query string for real secrets. Enter the key in the form or use `npx poke@latest mcp add -k`\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, folk or Poke?\n\nPoke scores 37.6 (F) on agent readiness against folk's 19.8 (F), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. folk leads on transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/folk-nozomio-vs-poke.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/folk-nozomio-vs-poke.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"folk-nozomio\", \"b\": \"poke\"}`.
