about us

Poke Labs is an AI company based in Toronto, Ontario. We build autonomous agents that help developers ship better software, faster.

Founded in 2026. Everything we build is open source from day one. We believe the best tools are the ones you can see inside, modify, and trust.

We ship fast, iterate constantly, and use our own tools every day. If it doesn't work for us, it doesn't ship.

$ cat ./values

our values

Open Source, Always

MIT licensed. No paywalled features. No vendor lock-in. You own your stack.

Ship Fast

Perfect is the enemy of done. We ship imperfect products and iterate on real feedback.

Code First

We build for developers. Our tools integrate into your workflow — not the other way around.

Dogfood Everything

We use our own tools every single day. If it breaks for you, it breaks for us first.
