Poe Launches New Capabilities for Building Visual Interfaces with AI Models
Poe Apps
Quora’s platform, Poe, has launched a new capability that allows users to build visual interfaces, or apps, on top of any combination of AI models. This feature is called Poe Apps, and it enables users to describe the app they want to create in the new App Creator tool.
App Creator Tool
The App Creator tool, powered by Anthropic’s recently released Claude 3.7 Sonnet, translates the description into code for the app interface along with custom logic expressed in JavaScript. Poe Apps can run side-by-side with Poe’s chatbot window or be entirely visual, and their underlying code is exposed for manual adjusting and fine-tuning.
Example Apps
Quora created a few example apps, including one that transforms photos into 3D anime-style art using OpenAI’s GPT-4o and Black Forest Labs’ Flux-Pro-1.1. Another example app removes unwanted objects from images, leveraging Bria’s Bria-Eraser model.
Sharing and Monetization
Poe Apps can be shared with other Poe users, currently only on the web, with iOS and Android support on the way. Each time an app uses an AI model, it will draw from a user’s point balance with Poe. Free users receive a daily point allotment, while users subscribed to Poe’s $9.99 per month premium tier get flexible daily or monthly point packages.
Future Roadmap
In a blog post, Quora hinted at possible app monetization options, stating that "This is an early launch and we have a long roadmap ahead to give creators even more power, including the ability to earn money directly from their apps."
Conclusion
Poe Apps expand on the web apps feature Poe launched last July, and they demonstrate how far models’ programming capabilities have come. With the ability to build visual interfaces with AI models, users have a new way to create and share innovative applications.
