Cognition has bought Poke, the agent that lives in iMessage.
Scott Wu says the point was never coding itself, but the interface: humans already know how to text computers. The post adds that Poke reached 100 million messages in three months, and that Scott and Walden were early angels, suggesting the acquisition may have been planned for a while.
