Poe, an application developed by Quora that integrates multiple AI models into a single platform, has introduced a new group chat feature. The company announced on Monday that users worldwide can now initiate group conversations with up to 200 participants and collaborate within a single thread using more than 200 AI models—including generators for text, images, video, and audio.
The launch comes just days after OpenAI began piloting ChatGPT’s group chat functionality in markets such as Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, and Taiwan. This move could shift the paradigm of chatbots from one-on-one AI interactions to collaborative spaces where users can engage with friends, family, or colleagues. According to Quora, adding group chat to Poe unlocks entirely new ways for AI users to interact. For instance, families or friend groups could jointly plan trips by combining Gemini 2.5’s search capabilities with o3 Deep Research. Teams might also brainstorm mood board visuals using various image-generation models available on Poe, or small groups could play trivia games together using quiz bots on the app.
The group chat feature enables users to collaborate using any combination of AI models or creator-built bots, including Claude 4.5 Sonnet, Eleven Labs v3, Eleven Labs Music, Nano Banana, GPT-5.1, Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro, o3 Deep Research, Sora 2 Pro, and Veo 3.1.
Poe users can start a group chat directly from the app’s homepage at poe.com. Conversations are synced in real time across devices, allowing users to begin a chat on desktop and seamlessly continue on mobile without losing context.
Quora has been developing this feature over the past six months and plans to refine the group chat experience further in the coming weeks based on user feedback.
“We believe the potential for AI-mediated group interaction spaces and collaborative opportunities with AI is vast and remains largely unexplored,” the company stated in its announcement. “Our launch today also empowers anyone to build custom bots on Poe and share them with others for use in their own groups—and we’re excited to see the creative use cases the community will uncover.”
