Tech Tip 13: Setting up POE on your Laptop to access AI in your classroom.

POE is an interface that you can use to access a range of generative AI tools including ChatGPT and Claude for generating text, and DALL-E and StableDiffusion for generating images. Whilst still needing a VPN, access to these AI tools through POE is available to users within China.

To start using POE you can use the website directly at https://poe.com/ or you can install the POE App.

If you’re having difficulty getting access to POE onto your laptop, you can use the steps in this How to Guide, or you can watch the following short video.
