Poe is one of the most underrated AI tools right now.

The Preview feature allows you to code custom apps directly in chat, similar to Claude Artifacts, but for ANY AI model (GPT-4o, Gemini 1.5, + more)

Here's a few of my favorite use cases:
First off, what is Poe Previews?

Previews allow users to see and interact with custom web app created directly in chat — no coding ability required.

Imagine building games, interactive animations, drag-and-drop interfaces, and more just by describing it.
All Previews created on Poe can be shared with anyone via a link, allowing you to publish your creations to the web for others to try or 'mash up'.

You can also view your output in a new tab outside the chat to give you a wider canvas to interact with.
