Poe is an AI chat platform that gives users access to a wide range of AI models from multiple companies within a single interface, available across all devices. Users can interact with models including ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek R1, and a growing selection of image, video, and audio generation models. Millions of user-created bots are also available, covering domains such as tutoring, knowledge, entertainment, therapy, storytelling, roleplay, and image generation.

The platform operates on a points-based system, where each bot consumes compute points per message. Non-paying users receive a daily allocation of points that reset every 24 hours, while subscribers receive larger periodic point grants. Subscription plans start at $4.99 per month and are designed for higher-volume usage and access to advanced models. Poe aims to offer lower effective prices for top models compared to other platforms, and supports transparent USD-based API pricing.

Poe also provides a creator platform that allows developers and individuals to build, publish, and monetize their own bots. Creators can set per-message prices and earn subscription-based revenue through the Poe monetization program. An API is available for developers to integrate Poe models into external workflows and applications, including support for tool calling with models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.
