Poe AI service removes custom bots, frustrating users

The AI service Poe, which previously allowed users to access multiple bots like Claude, Gemini, and GPT simultaneously, has recently implemented significant changes. The platform has removed customized, topic-specific, and community-created bots, now only offering official bots. This shift, which occurred without prior notification to users, has led to frustration among those who relied on the personalized bots for tasks like brainstorming and project workflows. Users are also reporting that previously available unfiltered or jailbroken bots are no longer accessible, with official bots now flagging potentially offensive topics. AI

IMPACT Users of multi-bot AI services like Poe may face reduced customization and access to specialized bots, impacting workflows and brainstorming capabilities.
