Nossy vs Poke

What Poke is for

Poke is a personal AI assistant that lives in Apple Messages, Telegram, WhatsApp, and RCS. You text it like a person. It manages email, calendar, reminders, web search, and connected apps through recipes and integrations. It is built by The Interaction Company of California. For one human’s life admin, that is the job.

Where it breaks in a chat-run shop

One person’s secretary

Poke is for you. A shop has a team. The delivery photo has to be visible to the next shift, not locked in the owner’s personal thread.

Life tools, not a shop workbook

Email triage and calendar booking are real. They are not a stock row, a receipt filed to Drive, and a question against last month’s purchases.

iMessage first

Poke’s home is Apple Messages. A Thai beachhead cafe is on LINE. Nossy starts where that team already is.

What Nossy does instead

Nossy interviews the owner, shapes a workbook, and joins the staff chat. It does not run your personal inbox. It keeps the shop’s operating record in a spreadsheet you own. Poke can keep the rest of your life.

What Nossy does not do

• Nossy works in LINE, Telegram, and WhatsApp direct chats. WhatsApp group chats and iMessage are coming soon.
• Nossy does not connect to your other software yet. Tool connections are coming soon.
• Nossy never messages your customers. It works inside your team's own chat, and it nudges your own people.
• Nossy does not replace a POS, a payment system, or accounting software.
• Nossy reads a spreadsheet you already have once, during setup, and only if you share it as anyone with the link. Day to day it sees the files it created or was sent in chat, so a file you drop into the Drive folder by hand stays invisible to it.
• The report pages Nossy builds are public links that last about a day. The workbook in your Drive is the durable record.
• Poke connects email, calendar, and many integrations, including MCP, and it lives in iMessage and RCS today, which Nossy does not. For a personal secretary, Poke is further along.
• Poke is available by signing up at poke.com with a phone number, with no founder call. Nossy is in beta and onboards teams by call after a setup interview.

Pricing

• Plus is $20 a month with 4,000 credits. Pro is $40 with 8,000. Max is $100 with 20,000.
• One price per business. Your whole team chats with Nossy at no extra cost, because there are no seats.
• Credits measure the work Nossy does. $1 buys 200 credits. Plan credits reset monthly, top-up credits do not expire.
• There is no free plan. Nossy is in beta and we onboard teams by call.

Common questions

Can Nossy replace Poke?

Not as a personal assistant. Poke is built for one person's life. Nossy is built for a team's operations. If you want both, that is a reasonable split.

Will my staff actually use it?

Poke is usually one person's number. Nossy joins the group the staff already answer, so the evening shift can log a delivery without being on the owner's Poke thread.

What does it cost compared to Poke?

Check poke.com for current personal plans (as of 2026-08). Nossy is $20, $40, or $100 a month per business, with no per-seat charge.

What happens to my data if I stop?

Nossy's workbook stays in your Google Drive. Poke's memory stays with Poke. The shop record was a spreadsheet the whole time.
