poe-platform/server-bot-quick-start

What it solves

It provides a set of starter templates and example implementations for developers wanting to build and deploy "server bots" on the Poe platform. It removes the boilerplate of setting up the connection between a custom server and the Poe interface.

How it works

The repository contains various Python scripts that use fastapi_poe and are designed for deployment via Modal. Developers can choose a template based on their needs—such as simple echo bots, bots that wrap external APIs (like OpenAI or Fireworks AI), or bots that that leverage Poe's own inference credits—and deploy them to the Poe platform.

Who it’s for

Developers who want to create custom AI bots for Poe, ranging from simple prompt-based bots to complex agents capable of function calling and multimodal interactions.

Highlights

• Diverse Bot Templates: Includes examples for text generation, image generation (SDXL), and video attachments.
• Advanced Capabilities: Demonstrates function calling, function calling loops, and the ability to handle user-uploaded files (PDFs, images).
• Multimodal Workflows: Features a clothing recommender that analyzes an uploaded image and generates a new one.
• Tool Integration: Includes a Python runner bot that generates, executes, and debugs code by chaining requests to other bots.
