Value Results Summary
Quora created Poe, a versatile chat platform that unifies leading AI models to enable users to engage in natural, dynamic conversations. To enhance accessibility and user engagement, Quora needed to add audio capabilities that would transform text-based interactions into immersive voice experiences. The company integrated Cartesia's Sonic text-to-speech model, an advanced AI solution designed to generate natural, human-like audio responses at scale.
Poe users now convert text to audio by prompting "@Cartesia" within conversations or by sending text directly to the Cartesia bot. The integration provides access to over 100 default voices, supports 14 languages, and enables voice customization through simple command syntax (e.g., --voice Chinese Commercial Woman). Cartesia's technology delivers advanced controllability through SSML and IPA support, allowing creators precise control over pronunciation, pacing, and delivery nuances.
The partnership delivers significant strategic value for Poe's millions of users. Cartesia's infrastructure is SOC2 compliant and supports unlimited concurrency, ensuring reliable performance and uptime during peak usage. The integration transforms how people learn and create on Poe—enabling content creators to reach global audiences through diverse, natural-sounding voices while helping users consume knowledge through multiple modalities.
