Poe, the AI chat platform developed by Quora, recently opened up a new collaborative group chat feature. Now, users can have interactive conversations with as many as 200 people simultaneously! This brand new feature, announced on Monday, is now available to everyone around the globe right on the app’s home screen at poe.com. It enables users to collaborate across more than 200 AI models, including text, image, video, and audio generators, transforming the traditional one-on-one interaction into a vibrant collaborative environment.
To improve user experiences, over the past six months Quora has purposefully worked to create this group chat functionality. Now with this new generative feature, users can easily brainstorm ideas for mood boards with various image models. They can enjoy themselves with trivia games alongside hundreds of quiz bots offered by the popular platform. Through supporting collaborative capabilities, Poe hopes to encourage artistic expression and playful competition between friends, family members, or coworkers.
The addition of group chats comes just weeks after OpenAI’s ChatGPT first started to pilot a like feature in some markets. Quora’s move to add this feature is symptomatic of a broader trend in the AI ecosystem toward encouraging collective engagement.
Poe users can quickly launch a group chat thanks to a prominent button on the app’s home screen. With this feature, they can work together creatively in a focused space. This community-oriented aspect of the feature further encourages communication between users. It allows them to build their own custom bots that they can publish within their own organizations.
Quora is looking forward to iterating and improving the group chat experience in the weeks ahead, so please stay tuned. This focus on user-centered development shows Quora’s commitment to improving Poe’s capabilities and user experience.
“We think the space of potential group interactions mediated by AI and collaboration opportunities with AI is vast and currently under-explored.” – Quora
Quora plans to refine and improve the group chat experience in the coming weeks based on user feedback. This commitment to user-centered development indicates Quora’s dedication to enhancing Poe’s functionality and user satisfaction.
