Codot vs Poke

Codot vs Poke AI: a friend in your texts, or an assistant that runs your day?

I make Codot, and Poke is a direct competitor, so read this with that in mind. Poke facts below come from poke.com, its pricing page and published reporting, checked in October 2026. I haven't run a long trial of Poke, so I won't describe one.

Both are AI assistants you talk to. Poke calls itself "your new favorite contact": you message it in Messages, WhatsApp or Telegram, by text or voice note, and it chats back like a friend. Codot is built around getting your day organized. You say what's going on, on your phone, watch or lock screen, and it takes the action: tasks and events land in a real list and calendar that it keeps up to date, people go into contacts it remembers, and email gets triaged.

What Codot does for your day

You talk, it acts. "Remind me to renew the car insurance Friday at 9" becomes a task at 9:00 with a reminder. Say "move it to Monday 3pm" and it moves, in the list and on your calendar.

Big goals become a daily plan. "I have to finish the grant application by the 15th" turns into a working slot on each day until then, scheduled for you.

It finds the meeting time. "Find an hour next week for me, Tom in London and Aiko in Tokyo" comes back as one slot that fits everyone's working day.

It remembers the people you meet. "Met Leo at the climate meetup, he's moving to Lisbon in spring, his birthday is June 20" becomes a contact with his city, his birthday and a reminder before it. Next time you see him, the details are there.

It triages your inbox. Codot sorts Gmail and Outlook and drafts replies to the important messages, so you start from a draft instead of a blank reply.

It starts your morning. A briefing each morning lists what's due, and scheduled automations run on their own, for example a 9 a.m. summary of your top tasks and the news you follow.

Capture takes two seconds. Speak from the lock-screen widget, your Apple Watch, the iPhone app or the web. It syncs with Google Calendar, tracks habits, and turns one rambling sentence into a structured note. Your data is encrypted and never sold.

Try saying this (30 seconds)

You're walking to the car after a conference panel. Press the Codot lock-screen widget and say:

"Lunch with Marco next Tuesday at one, he runs partnerships at the logistics startup and wants the deck first. Remind me Monday morning to send it. And add a weekly task every Friday to update the investor tracker."

Codot creates the calendar event (synced to Google Calendar), saves Marco's role and what he asked for to his contact, sets a Monday reminder, and adds a recurring Friday task. Open the app on Thursday and all of it sits with the rest of your week, in a list and a calendar you can see at a glance.

Poke AI pricing vs Codot

As of October 2026:

• Poke: Free at $0 with no card, connecting your apps, email and calendar. Pro is $19/month and adds frontier models, background automations and higher limits. Ultra is $199/month with the highest limits plus pay-as-you-go usage.
• Codot: free for a limited time. After that, a free plan (3 daily briefings, 2 scheduled automations) or Max at $12.99/month or $99.99/year with no limits.

If you'd pay for either, Codot Max costs less than Poke Pro.

Poke AI review: what it does well, and where Codot falls short

Poke lives where you already text, so there's no new app to open, and Codot does need its own app. Poke also connects far more tools: its homepage lists Gmail, Outlook, Google Calendar, Notion, GitHub, Asana, Linear, Todoist and Oura, plus "Recipes" for automations. Codot covers email and Google Calendar but has nothing like that integration list. And personality is a big part of Poke: it texts with slang and jokes, and when Cognition, the company behind Devin, bought Poke's parent company in July, its co-founder called it "fun to talk to". TechCrunch reported hundreds of thousands of users and more than 100 million messages over three months, and that nothing changes for the product right away. Through WhatsApp and Telegram it also reaches some Android users; Codot has its own Android app on Google Play.

Which one I'd pick

If what you need is your day organized, meaning a task list and calendar that stay current when plans change, people you won't forget, email sorted and a briefing every morning, pick Codot, and capture it by voice from the lock screen or your watch. If you want an assistant inside the chat apps you already use, wired into Notion, GitHub or Linear, or you'd just like to find out whether an AI assistant sticks without installing anything, Poke is a good start.
