All developers can now build bots on Poe, including both customers of Anthropic and OpenAI who are building more complex products on top of their models, other AI companies who are training their own language models, or anyone using LLMs from other sources.
Impressive — Poe wants to be the "web browser" of LLM apps, starting with the Poe Platform, as detailed by Quora CEO Adam D'Angelo in this post.
And looking to the future, "Benefits that come from building an application on Poe:"
• Distribution to millions of users already using Poe
• Native applications across all platforms (Android is almost ready) for the best user experience using your product
• Persistent user history, cross-platform sync, and other supporting features so you can focus just on what’s unique to your application
• Easy tools for people to share the output from your bot to drive growth
• Feedback from users (e.g. likes and dislikes) that you can use to improve your product
• Monetization (in the future)Distribution to millions of users already using Poe
I'm a huge fan of Poe, and I've created various chatbots through chatbot building. I've made a simultaneous interpretation chatbot, a chatbot that generates ChatGPT prompts, and a chatbot that always responds within 10 characters with short and concise answers. I've been teaching this to my students in Korea as well, and I believe that you can achieve even greater results without necessarily going as far as ChatGPT. I reached out via email to discuss this further, but I haven't received a response yet. Anyway, Poe is amazing!
