The social question-and-answer website, Quora, has a new AI tool that will help answer questions, write code for you, or just hang out and chat. It’s called Poe, but it has a few different personalities you can select from, includingChatGPT, and Quora’s own general knowledge bot, called Sage. That’s not all, though, and each of them has different expertise, having trained on different data.

Here are the ins and outs of Quora’s Sage and other bots, and how you can make the most of them.

What is Quora Poe?

Quora’s Poe is a chatbot service that gives users the ability to chat with a range of chatbots developed by different companies. They include well-known chatbots like ChatGPT, and in a limited capacity, thenewer GPT-4 language modelversion of ChatGPT. It also includes chatbots developed by another American AI startup, Anthropic, including its Claude+ model.

You can ask each of them questions, have them write code for you, give you advice, or do anything else that you can do with modern chatbots. The models that are available elsewhere, like ChatGPT, have the same features and limitations as they do on other sites and services. However, the ability to select between different chatbots does make Quora’s Poe service one of the more fully-featured AI offerings online.

What are the differences between Quora Sage and other chatbots?

Unlike most other chatbots, Quora’s Poe service has a range of different personalities to select from. They all work in a similar fashion, but they have different expertise and are designed to help with different tasks.

How do you use Quora Poe?

All you need to do to use Quora Poe is to visit thePoe websiteand make an account — or log in with your existing one. Alternatively, you can download the Poe app from theiOS App Store. An Android version of Poe is not currently available but should be accessible later this year.

Then select one of the chatbots from the left-hand menu that you want to talk to, and type out your query. It will then give you a response relatively quickly — some chatbots faster than others. With the more limited chatbots, you can then continue chatting to them as long as you like, though response times and accuracy may differ depending on how busy the service is at that time.

you’re able to have free access to all the chatbots with the Poe website or app, but if you want more messages or greater access to the more advanced chatbots, you’ll need a Poe subscription.
