PromptQL vs Poke (Interaction Co.)

PromptQL vs Poke serve fundamentally different use cases, but both leverage AI to reduce app-switching. PromptQL is a multiplayer AI agent designed for teams: it offers shared chat threads where multiple users can interact simultaneously, a built-in wiki with revision history and citations, and automatic skill creation from corrections. It integrates deeply with work tools like Snowflake, Salesforce, GitHub, Jira, and Linear, and provides granular access controls (scopes: internal, confidential, personal). Poke, on the other hand, is a personal AI assistant that lives inside Apple Messages, WhatsApp, Telegram, and RCS. It focuses on individual productivity: managing email (Gmail/Outlook), calendar, reminders, and web searches, plus Oura integration for sleep/activity, Notion for notes, and TripIt for travel. Poke’s unique strength is its messaging-native experience—users never leave their chat app. Poke Recipes enable automations (available since March 2026 GA), and recent news (June 2026) added @poke.com email addresses and verification on Apple Messages. PromptQL lacks this messaging-embedded approach but compensates with team-oriented features like audit trails, editorial controls, and shared context across teams. If your pain point is cross-functional knowledge silos, PromptQL is built for that; if you want a personal AI that manages your inbox and calendar from iMessage, Poke is the answer.

Both tools are freemium, but their pricing structures differ significantly. PromptQL offers a free personal tier; team plans are not public but implied for organizations (best for teams >5). There is no mention of per-user monthly pricing. Poke has clear transparent pricing: Free tier covers basic messaging and integrations; Pro at $19/month unlocks frontier AI models and proactive automations; Ultra at $199/month offers pay-as-you-go heavy usage with priority support. Poke’s pricing is straightforward and aimed at individuals willing to pay for convenience. PromptQL’s pricing is less transparent, likely custom per team, which could be a blocker for small teams wanting fixed costs. However, PromptQL’s free tier may suffice for small teams to evaluate multiplayer features. For a solo user, Poke’s Free tier is more immediately useful for personal tasks, while Pro is affordable for power users. For a team, PromptQL’s freemium model may be cost-effective if the free personal tier covers basic needs, but team pricing could be higher than Poke’s per-user flat rates. Overall, Poke wins on pricing clarity and lower entry cost for individuals; PromptQL may require a conversation with sales for teams.
