Despite challenges such as bot spam and standing out among a million bots, D’Angelo is committed to supporting developers on Poe and improving bot discovery. The company plans to avoid ads and rely on Poe’s $19.99 per month subscription product for revenue. D’Angelo also discusses Quora's relationship with OpenAI, stating that he sees more potential for collaboration than competition, as Quora continues to be a "big customer" of OpenAI.
Key takeaways:
- Adam D’Angelo, CEO of Quora, is focusing on the integration of AI in the Q&A platform, with the launch of Poe, a platform that allows users to interact with various chatbots and developers to build their own.
- Despite the rise of AI, D’Angelo believes that human knowledge still holds significant value, as AI cannot provide answers to all possible questions. Quora is also working on AI tools that users can use to write answers.
- Quora's Poe platform faces challenges similar to OpenAI’s GPT Store, including spam, similarly named bots, and difficulty for developers to stand out. Despite this, D’Angelo is committed to helping developers earn sustainable income through the platform.
- D’Angelo does not see OpenAI as a competitor, but rather expects more collaboration with the company. Quora continues to be a "big customer" of OpenAI, as it is the biggest source of models for Poe.
