Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Curated set · 10 capabilities

We ship only the actions that matter.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Multi-Model Workflows

You can build a bot that uses a fast model to summarize text and then a smarter model to analyze the summary.

02

Automated Bot Testing

You can send specific test prompts to your bots to verify they follow your system instructions.

03

User Interaction Analysis

You can pull recent message logs to see exactly how users are interacting with your deployed bots.

04

Rapid Prototyping

You can spin up new bots with custom system prompts in seconds using your AI client.

Automate a task

Put Poe to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Poe works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Poe to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 10 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Poe, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Poe. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

    Deleting a bot is permanent. You will lose all the bot's settings and its entire conversation history.

  • 05

    Who pays for the messages when I chain bots?

    The cost is covered by your existing Poe subscription or your free message limits.

  • 06

    How do I get a Poe API access token?

    Go to creator.poe.com, navigate to Settings > API, and generate an access token. This token authenticates all API requests for bot management.

  • 07

    What AI models can I query through Poe?

    Poe has GPT-4, GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Opus, Llama 3, and dozens of specialized bots. Use query_bot to chain responses from multiple models in your workflows.

  • 08

    How does bot chaining work?

    Using Poe API v2, your bot can query any other bot on Poe for free. The response becomes input for your bot's processing. Costs are covered by the user's free message limit or subscription.
