Poe

Poe is Quora's AI chat app for using many models in one place, including GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok and Kimi, privately or in group chats.

Poe, made by Quora, lets people chat with a large range of AI models and bots from one account. Its catalog includes current models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI and Moonshot, such as GPT-6, Claude Opus 5.5, Gemini 3.8 Flash, Grok 4.7 and Kimi K3, along with image and video models and thousands of bots made by other users. Conversations can be private, or several people and bots can join a group chat to compare answers. A leaderboard shows which models are popular, and creators can build their own bots on top of these models. Poe works on the web and in mobile and desktop apps, with free daily usage and paid subscriptions billed in points.
