Apple approves Poke as the first AI agent on its Messages for Business platform

# Apple Opens Messages to AI Assistants—Here's What That Means Apple has approved Poke, a new AI assistant, to work directly within its business messaging platform, letting companies chat with AI tools the same way they text with people. This is significant because it's Apple's first move to let AI agents operate on Messages for Business, potentially making it easier for customers to get help or information without leaving their messaging app. If more AI assistants get approved, you could soon handle customer service, booking appointments, or answering questions all through text without switching between different apps.
