Poe gives you one place to talk to almost every model. Bordet puts a few of the best in one room as a team, with a shared memory of your project.
Poe, from Quora, is the broadest gateway there is: around a hundred models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Meta, DeepSeek and Mistral, plus image and video tools and a large library of user-made bots, all on one compute-point balance. Plans run from a $4.99 Starter to a $249.99 Pro Max, and the free daily allowance was cut sharply in 2026. If you want to reach any model quickly, Poe is hard to beat.
Each of those models lives in its own chat. Ask Claude something, then ask GPT, and neither knows what the other said; you carry the context between them by hand. Bots are personas, not colleagues. Nothing in Poe is a project: no shared memory, no board, no record of what you decided, and no room a teammate can join.
Bordet is narrower and deeper. You seat a few models, GPT-6 Astra, Claude Fable 5.2, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Grok 4.7, in one room with roles, and they read and challenge each other's replies. The room keeps one memory: objective, status, open questions, confirmed decisions, sources cited by name, deliverables with versions. People join by invite link, and your own claude.ai, ChatGPT or Claude Code can take a seat.
| Capability | Bordet | Poe |
|---|---|---|
| Breadth of models and bots | A ready list of frontier models, plus hundreds more a search away (OpenRouter) | About a hundred models plus a large bot library |
| Several models in one shared thread | Yes, one model per member, reading each other | No, one model per chat |
| Roles working as a team | Yes: Strategist, Maker, Critic, or your own | Bots are personas in separate chats |
| Memory | One project memory read by every model and person in the room | Per-chat history |
| Other people in the same room | Yes, live, with invite links and guests | No |
| Sources | Links, PDF and Word files, notes, read and cited by every member | File uploads per chat, varies by bot |
| A record of decisions | Decisions log you lock in, plus a board of objective, status and open questions | No |
| Your own AI tools at the table | claude.ai, ChatGPT, Claude Code and Cursor connect as seats | n/a |
| Pricing | Free $1.50 to start, credits from $5, or bring your own keys; per-room spend caps | Compute points, $4.99 to $249.99 a month |
Comparison reflects our understanding as of September 2026; check Poe's site for their current features.
They overlap in access to models and differ in shape. Poe is a directory you move between; Bordet is one room where a team of models works on your project and remembers it. If you need collaboration and continuity rather than breadth, Bordet is the fit. Many people keep Poe for quick one-off questions.
Yes, if you want them. A ready list holds the frontier from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI and DeepSeek: GPT-6 Astra, GPT-5.5, Claude Fable 5.2, Opus 5.5, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Gemini 3.8 Flash, Grok 4.7, DeepSeek V4 Pro. With a free account the model menu also searches the hundreds of models on OpenRouter. The value is still in how a few of them work together, with memory.
Similar idea, simpler. You start with $1.50 free, buy credits from $5, and spend them only when a member speaks; a focused session costs about a dollar or two at today's frontier models. Or bring your own API keys and pay the labs directly with no markup. Every room can have a spend cap.
Open a boardroom, give each model a role, and watch the team remember what you decided.
