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**Tab.** Tab is a private-beta texting assistant with a detailed security page on credential isolation and checkout binding, and a public updates page. No outside agent can call it, no price is published, and its privacy policy says nothing on training with user content.\n\n## Before you call either\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### Tab\n\n1. Don't plan to call Tab from another agent. It answers only the owner's Messages or WhatsApp thread.\n2. Tell the owner that access needs a waitlist place and no price is published.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Poke or Tab?\n\nPoke scores 37.6 (F) on agent readiness against Tab's 10.7 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.
