Poe, Quora’s app that brings together different AI models on one platform, launches group chat feature. The company was announced on Monday when users around the world will be able to start group chats with up to 200 other people and then collaborate on more than 200 AI models — including text, image, video and audio generators — in a single chat.
The launch comes just days after OpenAI’s ChatGPT piloted group chats in markets including Japan, New Zealand, South Korea and Taiwan. The move could potentially transform the chatbot from a one-to-one AI interaction to a collaborative space where users can also interact with friends, family or colleagues.
Quora says that adding group chats to Poe could enable new types of interactive experiences for AI users. For example, the company suggests that families or friends could use the feature to plan a trip together using Gemini 2.5’s search function and o3 Deep Research. Teams could also work together to brainstorm images for mood boards using the various image models in Poe, or teams could play trivia games together using one of examination bots in the app.
Group chats will allow users to collaborate using any combination of AI models or creator-built bots, including models such as Claude 4.5 Sonnet, ElevenLabs v3, ElevenLabs Music, Nano Banana, GPT-5.1, Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro, o3 Deep Research, Sora 2 Pro, and Veo.1, among others.
Poe users can start a group chat from the app’s home screen on the website at poe.com. As you chat, your chat history will be synced in real-time across your devices, so you can start the conversation on a desktop computer and then move to a mobile device without losing the thread.
Quora has been developing the feature over the past six months and plans to continue to improve group chats in the weeks following launch based on user feedback.
“We believe the space of potential AI-mediated team interactions and AI collaboration opportunities is vast and currently unexplored,” the company shared in its announcement. “The product we’re opening today also allows anyone to build a custom bot in Poe and share it for others to use in their own teams, and we’re excited to see the use cases everyone discovers.”
