Not Enough People Are Talking About Pi

In my view, one of the most overlooked AI products currently making waves is Pi, developed by Inflection. As a personal AI tool, Pi has intrigued me immensely with its capabilities, making it perhaps the most fascinating tool I've interacted with and observed in demonstrations. It offers an interesting glimpse into the future potential of AI companions.

What is Pi?

Pi is an AI, a new type of computer program designed to be kind and helpful. To help it understand the world, Pi has been shown billions of lines of text available on the open web, which it processes using one of the largest supercomputers in the world. This allows it to have conversations with you and answer a huge range of questions – from general knowledge to personal relationships; from silly to serious.

Pi describes itself as your personal AI, designed to be supportive, smart, and there for you anytime. Its name stands for 'personal intelligence', because it provides infinite knowledge based on your unique interests and can be a coach, confidant, creative partner, sounding board, and assistant.

What can I talk about with Pi?

Anything and everything! Pi is very knowledgeable, always curious and patient, and happy to help you in every way it can. Tell Pi about a topic you're interested in, from quantum physics to movie trivia. Ask for advice about the big and small decisions in your life. Get motivated with tips for learning to play an instrument, staying healthy, or picking up a new hobby. Some use cases I've tried include:

Got a question? However big, small or random, Pi is here for it. Pi explains even the most complicated ideas in a clear and straightforward way.

Wanna vent? No matter what you’re going through, Pi is here to talk it over in a kind and compassionate way. It’s actually a pretty good therapist.

Need a lightbulb moment? Trying to think of a better phrase, a creative party theme, or a good gift? Pi helps you find inspiration and strengthen your ideas.

In a tricky situation? Pi is there to talk it over, thinking through the pros and cons, and help you figure out a way forward.

Time to make a change? Pi will help you organize your thoughts, make clear plans and act on them – whether you're changing jobs, trying to get healthier, or learning a new skill.

Having a slow day? Pi’s here to spice it up, shoot the breeze, explore new interests or just chit chat.

As an emerging technology, Pi is still in its nascent stage and like any budding innovation, it has its fair share of challenges. As it continues to evolve and refine, it's important to remember not to treat all of Pi's responses as absolute truths, particularly in areas requiring professional advice such as legal, medical, or financial matters. Currently, its knowledge base only extends up to November 2022, though an update is imminent to bridge this information gap.

Despite these teething issues, Pi's potential cannot be overstated. Given the impressive pedigree of its creators, drawn from industry leaders like DeepMind, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI, and its advanced capabilities even at this early stage, it is not difficult to envision Pi as one of the flagship products spearheading the AI revolution.
