Reviewers mostly see Poe as a practical hub for trying many AI models in one place, especially for comparing responses, testing prompts, and building simple custom bots. Users praise fast access to new models, smooth setup, and usefulness where other AI tools are hard to reach. The main complaints are friction in longer chats: reply limits on the free tier, no edit option for bot responses, occasional trouble keeping context, and some privacy concern around accidentally public bots. One founder also notes docs-based bots can face accuracy drift or hallucinations.

What's great

I’ve been using Poe mainly to compare how different AI models respond to the same prompt. Seeing the variation side by side helps more than relying on a single answer.

I also found it useful to look at breakdowns that explain where Poe actually fits in real workflows, especially for prompt testing and quick experiments. This page helped clarify that for me:

Overall, Poe works well if you care about understanding model behavior, not just getting one final response.

It makes me frustrated, the messages are limited and I found myself having trouble having the bot follow what was going on, and so a lot of my daily free amount got wasted over trying tk get the bot to follow where I was taking it (it also doesn't help that there is no option to edit the bot's reply), so I found it very unsatisfying. Plus, another issue is that the max amount of messages is on the bot's replies, not yours. It isn't like Chai where it limits to 70 messages for every three hours (I think), but makes it an 24 hour wait for 100 messages for the bot's reply. This isn't very fair, as it can sometimes take a lot of messages just for the bot to do what you want them tp do (once again, reason why there should be an edit message tool). Despite Poe being amazing, and having no filter (unlike Character AI), I find myself getting even more frustrated with it than anything. So, I'll repeat the pros and cons. ~Pros •Long responses, usually pretty well written •Entertaining •No filter •I find myself spending long sessiond all at once due to investment in the story ~Cons •For some reason, its difficult to even get the bot to do what you want •It won't follow your NSFW leads sometimes (no matter how hard you try) •It sometimes falsely flags an response as a violation to an guidline rule •There is a limit for the free version, and it is not a limit on the messages the user sends, but instead of the limit of messages the bot sends (it wouldn't of been an issue if it didn't take 24 HOURS just for 100 messages that can go by quickly depending on if your bot follows your story or even just makes a response that is good enough for you). So, overall, it could be an amazing app, it just has many held backs, so I hope this helps. If I could, I would rate this 2.5 stars until they fix the issues or at least try to.

Really impressed with how quickly Poe integrates new APIs. Been building several custom agents here and it's been super smooth. Pricing could be a bit gentler but the platform's solid. 🚀🚀🚀

I love that for an affordable price, it provides access to almost all the available LLM AIs and is always adding more. I think it far outweighs Quora as a product.

A useful tool to create little AI assistants. Lacks notifications that would be helpful if you need to wait a few moments to receive an answer.

I'm using this to get access to models that aren't generally available and have been pleased with the results. I have concerns about privacy given its easy to accidentally make your bot public and am not sure of the implications of doing so.

Awesome App. Very useful for locations that normally require a VPN to access chatGPT and co. Love it. Lifesaver.
