Poe by Quora acts as a unified interface for accessing many different AI models — including GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, and various open-source models — through a single subscription. This makes it ideal for users who want to compare model responses or use the best model for each task without managing separate accounts. Poe also allows creators to build and share custom AI bots with specific instructions and knowledge, fostering a growing community of specialised assistants.
