What Poe Ads Look Like

Poe's marketplace dynamics mean discovery is monetisable. Sponsored bots can appear next to organic recommendations with only a small label - easy to miss when you are in a hurry.

Sponsored Bot Listings Highest impact

Promoted bots appear in Poe's discovery feed with the same visual treatment as organic bots. Only a small 'Sponsored' label distinguishes them.

Poe+ Upsell Interruptions

In-conversation prompts to upgrade to Poe+ appear when using high-demand models. Designed to interrupt workflow at points of high engagement.

Bot Promotion Ads

Third-party bot creators pay to feature their bots in recommendation panels and search results.

How AdNeutral Blocks Poe Ads

AdNeutral removes promoted discovery tiles and upsell rails using cosmetic rules, and blocks third-party ad measurement with network filters.

Two-Layer Blocking
  • Layer 1 - Cosmetic filtering: Cosmetic rules remove sponsored bot cards and promotion rails using stable data attributes in Poe's React components.
  • Layer 2 - Network rules: Network rules block third-party trackers and ad measurement endpoints fired during Poe sessions.

Poe rotates visual styling often, but sponsored inventory is still labelled in machine-readable ways internally - which is what AdNeutral targets.

Core Filter Rules (Open Source)

Our Poe rules are public on GitHub. Here is the core ruleset:

adblock filter rules 
! Poe - Sponsored bots + promotions
poe.com##[data-sponsored-bot="true"]
poe.com##[class*="promoted-bot"]
poe.com##[class*="poe-plus-upsell"]
