Poke is the general-purpose agent.
Adding Browserbase was one of the clearest inflection points in Poke’s evolution. Before the partnership, each new capability meant building something from scratch, and each build and integration involved additional auth flows and edge cases. As Poke scaled to meet the demand, the team couldn't ship integrations fast enough to keep up. With Browserbase, all of these things worked out of the box, and Poke became general-purpose overnight.
Samyok Nepal, who works on a lot of Poke's core agent work, knew the unlock was the browser. Most of the web lives behind logins and dynamic interfaces that APIs simply can't touch. And running browsers across many agents simultaneously means you need concurrent browser sessions running reliably, without your team babysitting the infrastructure. He cold-DM'd Paul on Twitter the night before a customer demo, Browserbase turned on Enterprise the next day, and Interaction has been on the platform ever since.
What the browser unlocked
Today, when a user texts Poke, the agent decides whether the task needs a browser. If it does, a Browserbase session spins up quietly in the background with Agent Identity and residential proxies already enabled. The agent authenticates on the target site, completes the workflow, and returns the result inside the same chat. Most of the time, the user has no idea a browser was involved.

Flight check-ins are one of the most common uses. With access to the user's email, Poke already has everything it needs to check them in. With Browserbase, Poke can finally act on what it knows: it pulls the airline confirmation, opens the airline's site, fills in the passenger details, selects the preferred seat, and delivers the boarding pass back over text.
"I still open the Browserbase debug view every time my own Poke checks me in for a flight. It is always impressive that it just works."

Users started discovering capabilities Interaction had never explicitly shipped. One early user, the co-founder of a well-known company, mentioned in passing how much he liked using Poke to book and cancel restaurant reservations. The Interaction team had not known Poke could do that.
What’s next
Since its public launch in mid-March, Poke users have logged hundreds of thousands of browser sessions, and browser usage keeps growing in the weeks after each launch as users discover new things they can ask Poke to do.
The Interaction and Browserbase teams are now collaborating on a set of sample recipes that showcase browser-powered capabilities directly.
