Poe is a chatbot aggregator: queries route through whichever underlying model the user picks (Claude, GPT, Llama, custom community bots), each carrying their own data terms. The aggregation layer adds opacity — security teams cannot easily see which third-party processor handled a given query.

Questions teams ask about Poe.

Why is Poe risky?
