Why use Quora's Poe AI instead of ChatGPT?

If you want to get started with AI, having too many options can be confusing and overwhelming. So, instead of using ChatGPT, where only a single AI chatbot is accessible, this is why Quora's Poe becomes the AI ​​platform to use.

Try out many AIs for free

There are so many AIs to choose from - wouldn't it be great if there was a market where you could try on all kinds of goods? On Poe, you can. With just one login to Poe's website, desktop program or mobile app, you can try out hundreds of different AIs to see which one you like - all for free.

Instead of just being able to interact with ChatGPT, you can access all of these great tools on Poe:

1. Claude
2. GPT
3. Llama
4. Gemini
5. Poe Assistant

Of course, you can't ask Claude a million questions because free access to Poe comes with a daily limit. But the limit is per bot, so you can switch to Google's Gemini if ​​you reach Claude's limit.

If you want a longer chat with a larger context window, Poe offers the option to upgrade to a subscription. This subscription will give you 1,000,000 calculated points per month. You can spend those points on different AIs any way you want, each bot sets its own point spending per message.

But the available options are not limited to just a few official chatbots. There are hundreds of specialized bots on Poe. For example, you can:

1. Get life advice from Mrstherapist .
2. Raise funds for non-profit organizations with NGOs .
3. Structure research paper using Research_Advisor01 .

Additionally, you can use Poe to meet characters like SebastianB, a young, cold, serious university professor.

Cross-compare answers with the multi-bot chat feature

When brainstorming with AI, people often paste the same question on different platforms so they can compare answers from different bots. But on Poe, you no longer have to do that same thing. Its multi-bot chat feature allows users to receive responses from different bots in the same window.

Multi-bot chat also allows you to check if the AI ​​is hallucinating (inventing facts or giving wrong answers) by comparing its responses with other tools. Using this feature is easy: Just type @ the AI's name to ask them to join the conversation. Like a Socratic dialogue or Discord chat room - except with bots.

Access utilities such as image generators

When AI art creation technology first emerged, the installation process for most tools was too complicated. If you start looking for free alternatives to Midjourney and on Poe, you will find an easy way to use a variety of image creation tools.

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

1. StableDiffusionXL
2. DALL-E
3. Playground
4. Ideogram

If these image generators don't meet your needs, there are still many other image generators to choose from, like LOGO-CREATOR-AI for designing logos and AnimagineXL for creating anime-themed images. By the way, you can cross-compare images using multi-bot chat just like with text. It is slowly becoming the new favorite thing for many people to use Poe.

While image generation is the AI ​​superpower you've probably heard about the most, Poe also hosts a huge collection of other utilities. For example:

1. PCBuild recommends components to build your own computer.
2. PowerpointGenerator designs slides for presentations.
3. ExcelFormulaPro creates formulas or charts for MS Excel spreadsheets.

Poe is simply the easiest way to access all of these useful and fun AI tools.

Create your own chatbot or AI application

There's a reason Poe offers so many AI options: Any user can create a bot on the platform. For example, you could create a car repair assistant or Linux scripting tool and allow other Poe users to access the bot under a freemium model.

Poe took this semi-revenue sharing model a step further. Its new Previews feature allows creating applications that interface directly with AI.

You can edit and add to AI-generated content using HTML, CSS and JavaScript - with more languages ​​coming in the future. Instead of being limited to using the ChatGPT API, you can create desktop applications or mobile games that connect to any AI on the Poe platform.

There is no doubt that ChatGPT is the leader in the AI ​​field, but Poe has become the favorite AI platform of many. Using Poe is like opening up a user-friendly portal to the entire world of AI.
