Poe, Quora's platform that brings together numerous AI models under one roof, has launched a new feature that allows users to build visual interfaces (e.g. apps) on any combination of models.
This feature, called the POE app, allows POE users to describe what apps they will create with the new app creation tool. The description can include references to a particular model, such as the specific model you want to use for your app (Openai's O3-Mini, Google's Video Generation Veo 2) or the broader general specifications.
Poe's new app creator tool.
Powered by Anthropic's recently released Claude 3.7 Sonnet, App Creator transforms descriptions into code in the app interface, along with custom logic expressed in JavaScript. The POE app can run POE chatbot windows side by side or fully visually, with the underlying code being exposed for manual tuning and fine tuning.
Quora has created several apps, including an app that converts photos into 3D anime style art using Openai's GPT-4O and Black Forest Labs' Flux-Pro-1.1. Another example app leverages Bria's Bria-Eraser model to remove unwanted objects from images.
For now, POE apps can only be shared with other POE users on the web (iOS and Android support is currently underway, Quora says. Every time an app uses AI models, users with POE You will be drawn from the Point Balance of Points. Free users will receive daily point allocations, while users will register flexible daily or monthly point packages for the POE's $5/month premium tier.

In a blog post, Quora pointed out that app creators are available for limited time early access prices, suggesting possible app monetization options.
“This was launched early and has a long roadmap to provide creators with even more power, including the ability to make money directly from the app,” the company writes. “We're looking forward to what you're creating, and we're looking forward to how better our POE apps can be, as the models continue to write code this year. ”
The POE app, which expanded the web app, launched last July, is very similar to Anthropic's artifacts and Openai's ChatGPT canvas tool. Although there are quite a few apps that can generate these types of tools, it certainly shows how far the model's programming capabilities have come.
