Quora’s AI platform Poe is expanding its functionality with the launch of group chat capabilities, allowing users worldwide to collaborate in real time with up to 200 participants and access more than 200 AI models in a single conversation.
The move transforms Poe from a one-on-one AI interaction tool into a collaborative environment that could reshape how individuals and teams use AI for creative, organizational, and entertainment purposes.
The new feature enables participants to engage with text, image, video, and audio-generating models simultaneously. Users can combine AI models such as 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, Veo 3.1, and creator-made bots, giving groups unprecedented flexibility to collaborate across multiple AI tools in a single chat.

Quora suggested that group chats could facilitate practical, interactive applications for both personal and professional contexts. Families and friends could plan trips collaboratively using models like Gemini 2.5 for search and o3 Deep Research for information aggregation.
Creative teams might brainstorm visual concepts or generate mood boards using various image models, while groups could also play AI-powered games or quizzes together.
To start a group chat, users simply select the option from Poe’s home screen on the web platform at poe.com. Chat history syncs across devices in real time, allowing participants to move seamlessly between desktop and mobile without losing conversation continuity.
Quora noted that group chat development took six months and will continue to evolve based on user feedback.
“We think the space of potential group interactions mediated by AI and collaboration opportunities with AI is vast and currently under-explored,” the company shared in its announcement.
The platform also allows users to create custom bots and share them for use in group chats, further expanding possibilities for collaborative AI-driven experiences.
“The product we are opening up today also allows anyone to create a custom bot on Poe and share it for others to use in their own groups, and we are excited to see the use cases that everyone discovers,” the company added.
The launch positions Poe alongside competitors like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which recently began piloting group chat functionality in markets including Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, and Taiwan. Analysts suggest this trend signals a shift in AI usage from individual experimentation toward interactive, community-driven workflows, where AI acts as both a collaborative assistant and creative partner.
Poe is aiming to redefine how users interact with artificial intelligence, encouraging experimentation, learning, and productivity in group settings by integrating multiple AI models into a single conversation. As more users adopt these features, the platform is expected to unlock innovative applications ranging from enterprise brainstorming to family travel planning, educational collaboration, and entertainment, illustrating the expanding role of AI in daily life.
