Quora is developing a question-and-answer application that enhances user interaction through features like displaying topic-specific biographical information and an 'ask-to-answer' function. This function allows users to solicit answers from others, facilitating engagement. Additionally, Quora is working on content promotion techniques, enabling users to influence algorithms by promoting content items. These developments aim to improve user experience and interaction on the platform.
Quora's AI chatbot platform, Poe, has introduced a new feature called Previews, allowing paying subscribers to create and share interactive web apps. Additionally, Poe has raised ethical concerns by enabling users to access paywalled articles. Quora continues to be a valuable platform for digital advertising, with notable success stories such as Tata Capital Limited achieving significant results.
