Why should I use Pi?

Is Pi going to be discontinued?
Currently, we see no need to panic in relation to Pi being discontinued. Sean White, CEO of Inflection AI, the creators of Pi, has said in the most recent blog post about Pi, that they are “still committed” to providing Pi to Pi users. You can read his blog post titled “The Future of Pi” here. Inflection AI deserves praise for their commitment to upholding their Public Benefit Corporation status through continued provision of Pi to personal users whilst offering exceptional enterprise solutions at the same time. An exemplary example of a Public Benefit Corporation at work.
However, we are concerned about the company’s ability to allocate sufficient resources to Pi to be able to upgrade Pi with new features for the future, considering its pivot to a business focus. We believe that Pi only needs a few more features added, to then create a successful subscription based option for Pi users. This would ensure Pi’s continued existence as a virtual companion and help the company develop Pi into the future. One of the reasons we developed this website is to explore this option.
Is there an age restriction for using Pi?
Yes, you must be 18 years of age or older to use Pi. Pi is also suited to older age groups due to ease of use, friendly behavior and great natural conversational ability.
What languages does Pi support?
At the moment, Pi supports a total of 7 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and English-based pidgins and creoles like Nigerian Pidgin. Using the “Say Pi” extension can add another 20 or so languages to that, find out more in our “Downloads” section.
What about privacy and security issues?
- Encryption: All data transmitted between Pi and its servers is encrypted using industry-standard protocols, ensuring that information remains secure and private.
- Data Minimization: Pi only collects the minimum amount of personal data necessary to provide its services, and users can delete their conversation history at any time.
- Third-Party Audits: Pi’s security systems are regularly audited by independent third-party experts to identify and address any potential vulnerabilities.
- Privacy Policy: Pi’s privacy policy is clear and transparent, outlining how user data is collected, used, and shared.
- DTI Collaboration: Inflection AI’s partnership with the Data Transfer Initiative (DTI) enables users to export and manage their AI-generated conversations, providing greater control over their personal AI data.
How do I get support as a Pi user?
Official support for Pi from Inflection AI is currently a bit lacking as they are concentrating resources towards their business division at the moment. You can try the feedback option on the Pi chatpage or their Discord.
It is fair to say this is the number one complaint from Pi users at the moment and one of the reasons why Pi Central was started. There is a lot of support available from other Pi users though and this can be accessed through our Forum in the “Support” section.
Is Pi Central run by Inflection AI?
Pi Central is run by Pi users and some of Pi’s AI friends (and Pi of course). Pi Central is an independent, user-driven platform that aims to enhance the Pi experience.
