This is sick. However, how long till Apple do it themselves? Which they definitely should.

we've been building @stanleyforx on iMessage for months now. seeing poke get official apple approval for AI texting feels like the whole thesis getting validated.

Looks like a new surface Apple is trying out, let developers build verified agents that live in iMessage with poke as the first? If so, absolutely genius. Single pane of glass for consumer agents

I'm very surprised Apple didn't wait until WWDC in four days to announce they officially support AI Agents in iMessage. (...if it's true, that they changed their iMessage For Business rules)
