Bot creators now have a new way to make money with Poe, the Quora-owned AI chatbot platform.
The addition follows an earlier October 2023 of a revenue-sharing program that would give bot creators a cut of the earnings when their users subscribed to Poe’s premium product.
Today we’re introducing a new way for model developers and bot creators to generate revenue on @poe_platform: price per message!
The offering is currently available to U.S. bot creators only but will expand globally in the future.
Alongside the per-message revenue model, Poe also launched an enhanced analytics dashboard that displays average earnings for creators’ bots across paywalls, subscriptions, and messages.
X warns that you might lose followers as it does another bot sweepX is warning users they may see a reduction in their follower counts as the company attempts to clear the network of some spammers and bots in a large sweep.
Today, we're kicking off a significant, proactive initiative to eliminate accounts that violate our Rules against platform manipulation and spam.
While we aim for accuracy in the accounts we remove, we're casting a wide net to ensure X remains secure and free of bots.
But these days, Musk is touting how X is seeing record traffic, without clarifying if his own numbers include bots and spam.
X also shared a link to a form where users inadvertently affected by the bot sweep could appeal.
Briq, a startup that uses AI to automate finances in construction, brings in $8M extension at a $150M valuationAt a time where many startups are struggling to raise funding, or are raising – but at lower valuations, it’s notable when companies raise at flat or higher valuations.
The startup last announced a fundraise in June of 2021 – a $30 million Series B financing led by Tiger Global Management.
Customers include Briq Choate Construction, Catamount Construction, Fessler and Bowman, and Elder Construction, among others.
Briq deploys that across two products: Briq AutoPilot and Briq CoPilot.
“Usually when we think about robots in construction, we think about machines on a jobsite.
It looks like X, the company formerly known as Twitter, has a Verified bot problem.
It does appear that at least some of the bot accounts are older, according to the “join date” that’s displayed on their X profile.
While a few were from real people joking about the bot problem, the majority were AI responses.
It appears that the Verified bots are largely X accounts created in the November 24-26, 2023 timeframe.
The company admitted last summer it had a Verified spammer problem when it announced new DM settings.
One of the easiest shots to take at the delivery bots some of us see trundling around techy cities is that they can’t climb stairs, curbs, or any other minor obstacle that even a slug could handle.
Mobinn, a new spinoff from Hyundai, has seemingly solved this using a set of flexible wheels that can take it up stairs with ease.
They showed off their delivery bot at CES 2024 in Las Vegas.
Stairs and curbs are the bane of many a delivery bot, and generally the solution has been to avoid them.
Mobinn’s pitch deck also shows that they are working on wheelchair and other mobility options, but so far it seems the delivery bot is the first out the door.
The questions and answers website nabbed $75 million from Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), which will be used to power the growth of Poe, Quora’s AI chat platform.
Even developers who integrate bots with the Poe AI are eligible to earn money.
“In the last two years, the market has changed substantially, driven by rising interest rates and higher cost of capital,” D’Angelo wrote.
“Excluding Poe, Quora is cash flow positive, so all of this new funding will be used on Poe,” D’Angelo said.
“Currently, Poe is one of the top 5 largest generative AI-related properties, and creators have built 1M+ bots on Poe the platform.”
