Quora’s mission is to grow and share the world’s knowledge. A vast amount of the knowledge that would be valuable to many people is currently only available to a few. We want to connect the people who have this knowledge with people who need it, to bring us all closer to understanding the world and each other.
Poe (Platform for Open Exploration) is Quora’s new platform where people can ask questions, get instant answers, and have a back-and-forth conversation with a variety of AI models. Since launching a year ago, Poe has grown rapidly, becoming one of the largest and fastest-growing AI products. We believe that over time, interacting with AI models will become a fundamental way people access information, similar to how search engines function today. We are building Poe to be the best way to interact with AI models, making it easy for anyone to find the right model for their needs, explore new uses for AI, and build their own AI-powered experiences.
