Poe gives you one place to chat with many AI bots. Bordet puts several models in one room as a team, with a shared memory of the project.
Poe (by Quora) is a broad gateway to many AI models and user-made bots in a single app. It is excellent for reaching a wide range of models and specialized bots, and for switching between them in separate conversations.
Bordet is narrower and deeper. Instead of switching between bots in separate chats, you seat several models in one room, each with a role, working on the same project. A persistent shared memory keeps every member in sync, and an auditable decisions log records what the team settled and why.
The distinction is collaboration and continuity. Poe is a directory of conversations you move between; Bordet is a single evolving room where models and people work together and the context never resets.
| Capability | Bordet | Poe |
|---|---|---|
| Access to many models | Model-agnostic (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI) | Yes, very broad |
| Custom bots / personas | Yes, role members + templates | Yes, large bot library |
| Several models in ONE shared thread | Yes | No, separate chats |
| Distinct roles working together | Yes (Strategist, Maker, Critic, custom) | Not the focus |
| Persistent shared project memory | Yes, curated state across sessions | Per-bot chat history |
| Auditable decisions log | Yes, append-only | No |
| Humans collaborate in the same room | Yes, real-time invites | Not the focus |
| Agentic work on your repo or files | Yes, review-gated | Varies by bot |

They overlap but aim at different things. Poe is a broad directory of bots and models you chat with separately. Bordet is for running an AI team on one project, in a single room, with shared memory and a decisions log. If you need collaboration and continuity rather than breadth of bots, Bordet fits better.
Bordet is model-agnostic across the major providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI) and you can adopt more from the catalog. Poe's strength is sheer breadth of models and community bots. Bordet's strength is making a few of the best models work together with memory.
Poe is a place to chat with many bots; Bordet is one room where a team of models works on your project and remembers it across sessions.
Open a boardroom, give each model a role, and watch the team remember what you decided.
