In todayâs newsletter: Quora coming in hot with a chatGPT competitor that wants to be the âbot of all bots.âÂ
Poe, Quoraâs new chatGPT challenger, is now available to the public after being in beta for the last couple of months. And it looks⊠social?
How is this different? In a tweetstorm from Friday, Adam D'Angelo, Quoraâs CEO, described Poe (short for âPlatform for Open Explorationâ) as an AI that âlets people ask questions, get instant answers, and have back-and-forth conversations with several AI-powered botsâ âseveralâ being the keyword here.Â
Poe, which comes as an iOS app (soon to be available on other platforms), wants to become a bot aggregator. It currently gives users access to three different bots (Sage, Heron, and Dragonfly), two powered by OpenAIâs technology and one by Anthropic, the AI start-up Google recently invested $300M in.Â
Whatâs interesting about Poe is that itâs got a community/social element to it. You can follow others and create your personal feed of prompts, as well as discover what conversations other users are having with any of the bots. Some of the ones recommended include âForbidden Love,â a prompt that asks the AI to write âa love story with the sun and the moon as main characters.â For each conversation you find interesting, you can like and repost it to your feed.Â
How does this play into Quoraâs strategy? According to DâAngelo, theyâre building Poe as a separate product from Quora, but will âdistribute content created on Poe on Quora when it meets a high enough quality standard.â The near-term vision is to build an API that lets those building AI models plug them into Poe.Â
Itâs Googleâs turn, and weâre watching. đ
