Cognition Buys Poke to Add Human‑like Personality to Its Coding Assistant
Cognition’s Devin coding agent will inherit Poke’s chatty, slang‑laden persona, turning the tool into a teammate rather than a robot. The low‑nine‑figure deal gives Cognition a proven interaction model and lets Poke leverage richer models, highlighting a shift where AI personality is as vital as raw capability.
