About Quora
Quora is a global platform for knowledge sharing that attracts over 400 million unique visitors each month. It allows users to share insights on a wide variety of topics, creating a community focused on learning and connection. Users include individuals looking for information, experts sharing their knowledge, and businesses engaging with a knowledgeable audience. Quora also features Poe, a platform that combines several AI language models like GPT-4 and DALL-E 3, enabling users to chat and explore these technologies in one place. Unlike many competitors, Quora's business model relies on targeted advertising to its large user base, allowing it to continuously expand its offerings to meet user needs.
