✅ For Productivity – Automate repetitive tasks like summarizing emails, scheduling, or note-taking.

And the best part? You don’t need any coding skills!

🔹 Step 1: Visit Poe by Quora

👉 Go to Poe.com and sign in with your Google or email account.

Poe (Platform for Open Exploration) allows you to interact with and create AI chatbots powered by top language models like:

✔️ GPT-4 (by OpenAI) – Best for creative writing and brainstorming.
✔️ Claude (by Anthropic) – Best for deep reasoning, research, and accuracy.
✔️ Gemini (by Google DeepMind) – Great for answering questions with factual accuracy.

Once logged in, you’ll be taken to the chat interface, where you can talk to AI bots or create your own.

🔹 Step 2: Create Your Custom AI Chatbot

Now that you're inside Poe, follow these steps to start building your chatbot:

1️⃣ Click on your profile picture (top right corner).
2️⃣ Select "Create a Bot" from the dropdown menu.
3️⃣ Choose the AI model that will power your chatbot (GPT-4, Claude, or Gemini).

💡 Pro Tip: If you need deep and accurate research responses, choose Claude. For creative tasks, use GPT-4.

🔹 Step 3: Customize Your Chatbot

This is where the magic happens! You can now personalize your chatbot by setting up:

🔹 Bot Name & Profile Picture

• Give your bot a catchy name that reflects its purpose. Example:

  • "AI Study Buddy" (for students)

  • "Fitness Coach AI" (for health & wellness)

  • "AI Business Consultant" (for entrepreneurs)

• Upload a custom profile picture for branding.

🔹 Define the Chatbot’s Personality & Behavior

• Will it be friendly, professional, funny, or formal?

• Example:

  • A customer support bot should be polite and professional.

  • A content assistant bot should be creative and engaging.

🔹 Set the Chatbot’s Knowledge Base

• You can add specific topics or upload documents to train your bot.

• Example:

  • A Real Estate Chatbot can be trained on property listings and FAQs.

🔹 Add Custom Instructions

• Guide the bot on how to answer questions. Example prompts:

  • "Always keep responses short and actionable."

  • "Explain like you’re talking to a 5th grader."

📌 Example Use Case:
If you run an e-commerce store, you can create an AI chatbot named "ShopBot" that answers customer queries, suggests products, and tracks orders—all automatically!
