Poe

One tab. Many brains. Pick the one that wins.

AI isn’t the problem.

Picking the wrong AI is.

Here’s the deal: most workflows die in the handoff. You start drafting in one model, fact-check in another, then bounce to a third because the first two missed the point. That’s not “productivity”. That’s busywork with extra steps.

Poe (poe.com) takes a blunt approach: it puts multiple top models behind one chat surface, so you can switch brains without switching apps.

What Poe actually gives you

Poe markets itself as “Fast, Helpful AI Chat”. and the key word is fast. You can jump between major models - GPT-5, Claude-Sonnet-4.5, DeepSeek-R1 - and also explore a long tail of others on the platform.

That matters when the task changes mid-stream:

• Need crisp copy? Pick a model that writes clean.
• Need reasoning? Switch to a model that handles hard logic.
• Need to sanity-check an answer? Ask a second model and compare.

No new accounts. No new UI to relearn. No context loss because you rage-quit and start over somewhere else.

Private when it’s sensitive. Group when it’s messy.

Solo work needs privacy.

Team work needs receipts.

Poe supports chatting privately or in a group chat. That sounds small until you’ve tried to ship anything with more than one opinion involved. Group chat turns the AI into a shared scratchpad: decisions, drafts, and arguments all in one thread.

Why “thousands of others” isn’t just hype

Most directories push “the best model”. Real users push edge cases.

Poe leans into choice. You can explore thousands of AIs, which helps when your job isn’t “write a blog post”. It’s support replies, product copy variants, pitch edits, meeting notes, or a weird one-off task where a niche bot beats a famous model.

The punchline: Poe doesn’t ask you to bet your whole workflow on one model’s mood that day. It lets you test, swap, and move on.

You want results, not loyalty.

Poe is built for that.
