To make Poe more accessible to developers, it plans to offer an API that any AI developer can plug their model into to reach a large, public audience. We hope that Poe can fill this gap and greatly reduce the amount of work needed for any AI developer to reach a large audience of users.” “This is particularly true in the back-and-forth dialogue paradigm that has become standard for question answering and other use of large language models like ChatGPT, but we expect it to become useful for other modalities as well. ” … most people and even most companies who are capable of training or fine-tuning these models are not well suited to create these interfaces,” explained the Quora blog post, penned by Quora CEO Adam D’Angelo. Quora, however, sees Poe’s potential in helping AI developers with making their models more useful for the public, by offering an easy-to-use chat interface - something that’s not always the focus for companies building the AI models themselves. All three have been known to make incorrect statements - which is another reason why Quora itself isn’t immediately integrating Poe into its service.

For instance, Sage and Claude don’t have knowledge of events after 2021, and Dragonfly may refuse to answer some questions. All have their own limitations at present. Both Sage and Dragonfly are powered by OpenAI while Claude is powered by Anthropic technology. These include the general knowledge chatbots Sage, Claude and Dragonfly. They can then switch between three different AI chatbots available at launch. To use Poe - which stands for “Platform for Open Exploration” - iOS users will have to create an account that’s verified with both a phone number and email address. If and when Poe’s content meets a high enough quality standard, it will be distributed on Quora’s site itself, where it has the ability to reach Quora’s 400 million monthly visitors, the company noted. However, there will be some connections between the Q&A site and Poe. In an announcement, the company explained it decided to launch Poe as a standalone product that’s independent of Quora itself because of how quickly AI developments and changes are now taking place. For now, it’s available only to iOS users, but Quora says the service will arrive on other platforms in a few months. With the public launch on Friday, anyone can now use Poe’s app. Quora first announced Poe’s mobile app in December, but at the time, it required an invite to try it out. Beyond allowing users to experiment with new AI technologies, Poe’s content will ultimately help to evolve Quora itself, the company says. Q&A platform Quora has opened up public access to its new AI chatbot app, Poe, which lets users ask questions and get answers from a range of AI chatbots, including those from ChatGPT maker, OpenAI, and other companies like Anthropic.
