One subscription, many models — handy if you want to switch between ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and others without juggling separate accounts.

About Poe

Poe, built by Quora, is an aggregator app that lets you chat with many AI models — including GPT, Claude, and Gemini — and create custom bots, all under a single account and subscription.

Poe is Quora's AI chat platform that brings dozens of models together in one place. Instead of separate subscriptions, you can message ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and many other models — and build or use custom bots — from a single app on web and mobile. It's especially useful for people who like to route different tasks to different models or compare answers side by side. A free tier offers limited access, and a paid subscription unlocks higher usage and the most capable models. Poe doesn't build its own frontier model; its value is convenient, unified access to everyone else's.

TL;DR

Poe is a multi-model AI platform from Quora that provides access to many third-party chatbots and models through a single interface. Users can chat with models from providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and others, compare outputs, and build custom bots. Access is metered through a points-based system tied to subscription tiers, with a free plan and paid plans. It targets users who want one place to use and compare many AI models.

Company overview

Poe is developed by Quora, Inc., the question-and-answer platform founded in 2009 by Adam D'Angelo and Charlie Cheever and headquartered in Mountain View, California. Poe (Platform for Open Exploration) launched publicly in 2023 as Quora's AI product.

Poe aggregates numerous first- and third-party AI models into one consumer-facing app and web platform, and provides a marketplace where creators can build and monetize custom bots. It functions as an aggregation layer over many underlying model providers rather than as a single proprietary model.

Product features

Poe gives users access to a wide range of models and chatbots, including offerings from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and others, within a unified dashboard. Features include multi-bot conversations, side-by-side comparison of model outputs, image and media generation bots, and custom knowledge bases.

Users can create custom bots with their own prompts and knowledge, set per-message prices, and earn revenue from usage. Consumption is governed by a points system in which different models cost different numbers of points per interaction, and points allocations scale with the subscription tier.

Target market

Poe targets individual consumers, prompt enthusiasts, and creators who want convenient access to many AI models in one place and the ability to build and monetize bots. It also appeals to users who want to compare model outputs without maintaining separate subscriptions to each provider.

Poe itself is funded as part of Quora rather than as a separately capitalized company; specific standalone funding for Poe has not been publicly disclosed.
