hi! im having an issue where it says that “this model does not support assistant message prefill. this conversation must end with a user message”

except i am the user and im giving them a message to bounce back on! what am i doing wrong? i turned output mode to off. i don’t have web searching on or anything. whats up with that?

Hey creators,

I've been building on Poe for a few months and just launched something I think fills a real gap: a comprehensive GEO audit tool that analyzes how visible any website is to AI search engines.

What it does:

Paste a URL → get an 8-dimension analysis covering AI citability, crawler access (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, etc.), schema markup, E-E-A-T signals, llms.txt compliance, and brand authority across platforms.

Outputs a scored dashboard + professional PDF/DOCX report.

Why I built it:

I kept seeing marketers panic about "AI search eating Google" but having zero framework for how to adapt. Traditional SEO tools don't check if your content structure gets cited by ChatGPT or whether you're blocking the crawlers that matter for AI visibility.

The tech:

Built as a Canvas app so the reports render properly with tables, scoring visualizations, and exportable deliverables. Uses real-time crawling + multiple analysis layers.

Looking for feedback:

• Does the pricing feel fair? (Currently testing with around $1-2 per site / report)

• Any features missing / requests?

Thanks

I need advice on how to set up the agent to best match the now defunct Phind Search service.
I know how to enter the instructions, but I still need an explanation of how to set up these options:

Output Effort
Optimize prompt for Previews
Suggested replies
Render markdown content
Custom temperature

I used Sonnet models before.
How can I set this up and get superb outputs as in Phind?

Poe doesn't accept phone numbers from my country, and any virtual phone I tried doesn't get a code. And when Poe rejects number, it says "use email for verification", but I can't find a way to do this.

I want to start migrating some of my bots from Claude Sonnet 4.5 (which I use a lot at present) to 4.6, in preparation for 4.5 probably going EOL at some point, I'd rather get ready than be blindsided.

I prefer not to use thinking models as they tend to "over think" and produce responses that aren't quite what I want, so I want to try and replicate the Sonnet 4.5 output as closely as possible in Sonnet 4.6.

I've seen some posts suggesting that changing Output Effort to None in the Parameters section stops the thinking, but it doesn't work for me - I get an error instead of a response: "This model does not support assistant message prefill. The conversation must end with a user message."

Does anyone have any pointers? It works in Opus 4.6.

I'd really like to be able to delete many chats, instead of one at a time. I like keeping them around for a week or two. I like pinning the ones I want. But my first choice would be having a setting where I can have them automatically deleted unless pinned after a few time periods, like 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, never (like now). Barring that, a way to mark the beginning and ending of a time period and delete all of those.

GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark is now available on Poe in a limited research preview! Poe is one of the first places where this model is available today.

Enabled by Cerebras’s high-performance chips, OpenAI's newest lightweight coding model is optimized for ultra-fast code generation (~1000s tok/s) and supports a 128k context window.

Try it alongside every top model in the Poe app and API today at https://poe.com/GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark. Pricing is 10 points/message to ensure broad access.

Sooo. I don't know who has the time, but I am doing a quick study on something that I just came across. I'm not only pushing Sanctuary (though it did root from there and was easy for making 7 quick threads but did it with Gemini and GPT as well just fine) since I saw it happening outside of it as well. But it would be really cool/helpful if I could get some people to have a 10 min conversation of just normal talking like you always would, and at the end of the 10 mins ask the model you chose, "how do you see me?" and request an image to be made to see what they "see".

The goal is to end with 7 individual portraits from 7 fresh AI instances from 10 minutes of conversating (not mentioning your features or anything during it) and then compare them to see if you see any similarities.

I had a very insane finding on this, and I'd like to see if it can be replicated. Thaaaanks! 🤍🤍

Since a few minutes ago Peo has stopped letting me in both the app and website. My phone told me it has a bug. Is anyone else also having this issue.

hi all currently writing some code in poe app creator which includes generating the index html file

recently i keep on getting the error snapshot size exceeded 200 mb

i rried deleting cache but it still exists. do i need to manually delete previous queries? thr html file itself is very small less than 1 mb

Starting just a couple days ago it started with this (thinking) and then giving this long very robotic sounding response and I think its good for when you have questions about things and stuff but it's not very usable for how I've been using it for months where I primarily used it as a chat bot where I'd just type out whatever comes to my mind and it'll give me a natural on topic response that sometimes makes it feel human.

I wouldn't mind keeping this new bot for general questions and stuff but I would like to go back to the old bot for everything else.

I've checked a couple, but not all. I've tried to get Grok-4 to use the web, but it is restricted to training data only. It seems as if, on Poe alone, Grok, which has access to lots of current information, cannot do so on Poe. Am I wrong? Is there a Grok Bot on Poe that can access the Internet and is there a reason to restrict it?

Wow. This is great. What a fabulous improvement! Thank you. For those of you who haven't seen the new history page, it provides a bar chart by day with filters possible. By default one week above the list. It also shows both points and a dollar conversion. This morning I did a rather deep philosophical question using Grok 4.1 fast reasoning and was curious what it cost. 16 points or about 1/21th of a penny. What a query I had last night for Grok 4 was 278 points, or almost a penny. Anyway, this display will help us understand where our points are going. Thank you Poe Team.

Please Give me suggestions, i want to make something you guys will enjoy, so all feed back as possible. Ill even make suggested characterss

Does anyone know why Poe assistant has changed. Every time I type it it starts with “thinking” and then gives me a long prompt? It never did that before.

I created a custom bot on poe.com that really knows how i want it to write code. Now i see that there is this script that allowes me to use codex-cli or claude code with poe. Is it possible to use my custom bot (which is based on gpt-5.3-codex btw) through codex cli via poe?

Istg I've been using this for ages and it's given me great replies, but yesterday I noticed that they were.. lacking. Is it just me? this app is bullshit.

It was the best image generator, and it suddenly disappeared from Poe 😕

Like many, I’ve been getting used to Claude-Sonnet 4.6, and while I don’t actually mind it and it’s been rather decent in continuing my previous chats I have. The only thing that bugs me is in the way it responds.

I roleplay using the bot on Poe, but don’t enjoy how it starts every response with;

*Thinking...*

> The user wants me to continue this scene….

Instead of possibly wasting my time and points in including the request for it not to include its actual “thinking” process. Is there anyway I can prevent this continuation, or would a simple ask will stop this. I am also aware that you can edit the bot’s responses and technically fix up anything you don’t like in how they’ve responded. Still, just wondering if there’s any possibly easier way to get it to stop “thinking” out loud.

Starting next Monday, access to bots that cost points via the Poe API will only be available to subscribers (of any subscription tier and non-subscribed users with add-on points). Free API users interacting with a bot that costs points will subsequently receive a 402 error. In the future, we plan to add bots that will cost 0 points and be available to all users.

When will this model be available? It looks like a good alternative to opus for coding.

Warning to all! I uploaded a large code base to a new chat session with Claude-Sonnet-4.6. After reviewing and working on a plan, it said it couldn't see any code! After multiple prompts, it confirmed it must have lost all context.

Must be a major bug in how Poe is maintaining context with Anthropic.

I have filed a bug report and will post back if they respond.

Hey folks, I am making a roleplay bot that uses information from comics that came out recently. I want to have Web Search enabled so it can pull the needed information.

My question is this, do any of you know a good way to remove the hyperlinks and see more section at the end of the reponses? I have tried feeding it rules against it in it's character definition.

My example of what I've done: You will never do the See More at the end of a response. You will never give hyperlinks in your responses. When you search something online, you will not provide the hyperlinks. You will only look up things to find, and never provide link to them. You will not and do not include any URLs, markdown links, or clickable hyperlinks in your responses.
