About Pi
Pi is an AI chat companion built for empathetic, open-ended conversation rather than task completion.
Its defining point is the model and the intent: it runs on Inflection's own Inflection-2.5 model, was built by Inflection AI (co-founded by Reid Hoffman, Mustafa Suleyman, and Karén Simonyan), and is available on web, iOS, and Android with synchronized conversation history.
It fits people who want supportive, conversational dialogue. It is not for developers or automation: there is no public API, no third-party integrations, plugins, or tool-calling, and no model switching or BYOK — it is single-vendor by design.
Next to general-purpose assistants that chase tasks and tool use, Pi deliberately stays in the conversation lane.
