Official sources describe an assistant for questions, planning, actions, and image creation/editing. Meta's Privacy Policy covers AI interactions and related metadata; it states that public information on Meta products and interactions with AI at Meta may be used to develop and improve generative-AI models, with objection rights where applicable. Regional AI terms differ. The general AI terms expressly preserve rights in prompts but do not provide a comparable ownership assignment for outputs.

- Monthly-billing prices were not included in the extracted official pricing page, so only verified annual prices and their displayed monthly equivalents are reported.
- No blanket commercial-use assurance was found because Poe grants a personal right to use the service and underlying model-provider policies may impose additional restrictions.
- Privacy and training treatment varies by each bot or app's privacy-shield status.
Poe provides one interface for third-party text, image, audio, and video bots, custom bots/apps, group chats, and shared subscriptions. Fully shaded privacy-shield bots share data with model providers but interactions are not used by those providers for training; half-shaded bots/apps may share data with developers or external resources and may use interactions for training. Poe's terms define prompts and bot-generated results as 'Your Content' and state that users retain ownership, while granting Poe a perpetual license for stated service purposes. Use also remains subject to policies of the underlying model providers.
