Why I Use Quora\'s Poe AI Instead of ChatGPT

If you want to get started with AI, the many choices can be confusing and overwhelming. So, instead of using ChatGPT, where I can only access a single AI chatbot, here's why Quora's Poe has become my go-to AI platform.

Try Out Lots of AIs for Free

There are so many AIs out there to choose from—wouldn't it be nice if there was a bazaar where you could sample their wares? On Poe, you can. With a single login to Poe's website, desktop program, or mobile app, you can try out hundreds of different AIs to see which ones you like—all for free.

In my case, I started with the official chatbots first. Instead of being able to interact with ChatGPT only, I can access all of these big players on Poe:

• Claude
• GPT
• Llama
• Gemini
• Poe Assistant

Testing all of them out helped me discover that Claude is my favorite AI for getting answers to random questions I'm curious about. Of course, I can't ask Claude a million questions because free access to Poe comes with a daily limit. But the limit is per bot, so I can just switch to Google's Gemini if I run out.

If I decide I want longer conversations with larger context windows, Poe offers an upgrade to a subscription plan. The subscription loads you up with 1,000,000 compute points per month. You can spend those points across different AIs however you'd like, with each bot setting its own point cost per message.

But the choices available don't end at just a few official chatbots. There are hundreds of specialized bots on Poe. For example, you can:

• Get life advice from Mrstherapist.
• Fundraise for your nonprofit with NGOs.
• Structure your research paper with Research_Advisor01.

Wait, I haven't forgotten about you insatiable role-players out there. You can use Poe to meet characters like SebastianB, a cold, serious, young college professor who doesn't like being disobeyed.

Cross-Compare Answers With Multi-Bot Chat

When brainstorming with AI, I used to paste the same question on different platforms so I could compare answers from different bots. But on Poe, I no longer have to do that song and dance. Its multi-bot chat feature lets me get responses from different bots in the same window.

I first discovered the feature when I was having trouble with a malfunctioning garage door. I scoured the internet with Google but still couldn't figure out what the issue was. I turned to Poe next and used the multi-bot chat to talk out the problem. To my surprise, the bots helped me narrow in on a faulty part of the controller board and replace it. After that, I became a Poe-convert.

Multi-bot chat also lets me check if an AI is hallucinating (making up facts or giving wrong answers) by weighing its response against others. Using the feature is easy: I just @ the AIs by name to have them join the conversation. It's like a Socratic dialogue or a Discord chat room—except with bots.

Access Utilities Like Image Generators

When AI art generation first burst onto the scene, I found the installation process for most tools too cumbersome. I started searching for free alternatives to Midjourney, and on Poe, I've found an easy way to play with a ton of different image-creation tools.

Here's a small sample of the officially-supported AI image creators available on Poe:

• StableDiffusionXL
• DALL-E
• Playground
• Ideogram

If those don't meet your needs, there are many others to choose from, like LOGO-CREATOR-AI to design logos and AnimagineXL to generate anime-themed pictures. By the way, you can cross-compare images using multi-bot chat just like you can with text. It's slowly becoming my new favorite thing to do on Poe.

Although image generation is the AI superpower you might hear about the most, Poe also hosts an enormous collection of other utilities. For example:

• PCBuild は、独自のコンピューターを構築するためのコンポーネントを推奨します。
• PowerpointGenerator はプレゼンテーション用のスライドをデザインします。
• ExcelFormulaPro は、MS Excel スプレッドシートの数式またはグラフを作成します。

Poe は、これらすべての便利で楽しい AI ツールにアクセスする最も簡単な方法です。

独自のチャットボットまたは AI アプリを作成する

Poe がこれほど豊富な AI を提供しているのには理由があります。それは、どのユーザーでもプラットフォーム上でボットを作成できるからです。たとえば、自動車修理アシスタントや Linux スクリプト ツールを作成し、フリーミアム モデルで他の Poe ユーザーが私のボットにアクセスできるようにすることができます。自分で試してみたい場合は、Quora の Poe を使用して AI チャットボットと LLM にアクセスする方法を確認してください。

Poe は、この準収益分配モデルをさらに一歩進めました。新しいプレビュー機能を使用すると、AI と直接インターフェイスするアプリを作成できます。 HTML、CSS、JavaScript を使用して AI で生成されたコンテンツを編集したり、追加したりできます。将来的にはさらに多くの言語が追加される予定です。

ChatGPT API の使用に制限される代わりに、Poe のプラットフォーム上の任意の AI に接続するデスクトップ アプリやモバイル ゲームを作成できます。私の頭はあらゆる可能性で渦巻いています。

ChatGPT が AI のリーダーであることに疑問の余地はありませんが、Poe は私のお気に入りの AI プラットフォームになりました。 Poe を使用することは、AI の世界全体へのユーザーフレンドリーなポータルを開くようなものです。
