Quora’s AI platform Poe has introduced a new feature that allows users to engage in group chats with up to 200 participants across various AI models and bots. The app, known for integrating diverse AI models into a unified platform, now enables collaborative conversations involving text, image, video, and audio generators.
The addition of group chat functionality follows closely on the heels of OpenAI’s ChatGPT experimenting with group chats in select markets. This move signifies a potential shift from individual AI interactions to a shared environment where users can interact not only with AI but also with their peers, friends, or co-workers.
Quora envisions that the group chat feature on Poe could open up novel interactive possibilities for AI users. Families and friends might utilize this feature to plan trips using Gemini 2.5’s search capabilities or collaborate on mood board images through Poe’s image models. Work teams could also leverage the various bots available on the app for brainstorming sessions or trivia games.
Users can initiate group chats directly from Poe’s website, poe.com, and seamlessly switch between devices without losing conversation continuity. Quora has spent the last six months developing this feature and plans to refine group chats further based on user feedback, emphasizing the untapped potential for AI-mediated group interactions and collaborative opportunities.
