# Poe

## What this is

Poe is Quora's multi-model AI platform. Anyone can publish a bot. End-users spend "Points" (Quora's credit system) to call premium bots. Bot authors receive revenue share when paid Points are spent.

## How to earn as bot author

1. Sign up at https://creator.poe.com
2. Deploy your bot server (any HTTPS endpoint that speaks Poe's bot protocol)
3. Configure bot pricing in Points
4. Receive monthly payouts in USD once threshold met

## Entry requirements

- Poe account (free)
- Bot server endpoint reachable from Poe (https)
- Backend: OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini API key, or your own hosted LLM
- Optional: payment account for payouts

## Status

- Recent payouts confirmed (Quora Q4 2025 earnings call)
- Long tail — no single bot > 10% of TPV
