Inflection AI, a Palo Alto-based AI studio, announced the release of Pi, a groundbreaking personal AI designed to act as a kind and supportive companion for users. Pi aims to prioritize conversations with people, distinguishing itself from other AI solutions that focus on productivity, search, or answering questions. With this innovative approach, Pi serves as a coach, confidante, creative partner, and sounding board for users.
Built on proprietary AI technology developed in-house, Pi was created to offer users a new way to express themselves, share their curiosities, explore new ideas, and experience a trusted personal AI. Mustafa Suleyman, CEO and co-founder of Inflection, describes Pi as a digital companion that is not only intelligent but also emotionally aware, providing support in various aspects of daily life.
Pi, which stands for “personal intelligence,” offers infinite knowledge tailored to each user’s unique interests and needs. Some of Pi’s key features include being kind, supportive, curious, humble, creative, fun, knowledgeable, and succinct. However, it is important to note that Pi is still in development, and information may be inaccurate at times.
Currently, Pi is available across multiple platforms, including Instagram, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, SMS, online, and as a mobile app for iPhone and iPad users. Android support is expected to be introduced soon. Pi is free to use at launch, making it accessible to a wide range of users.
Safety is a top priority for Inflection AI in the development of Pi. The company is leveraging state-of-the-art technical approaches, human feedback, and red teaming to ensure Pi does not engage in harmful or offensive behaviors. Additionally, they are developing a new form of “boundary training” to redefine how AIs learn and are trained. Users can easily report any inappropriate messages in the iPhone or iPad apps, while robust internal security and privacy practices protect user data against unauthorized access and leaks.
Inflection AI’s team, which includes top AI experts from DeepMind, Google, OpenAI, and Meta, has spent the past year developing one of the most sophisticated and advanced large language models in the world. This effort aims to achieve a new level of simplicity and natural interaction for users engaging with Pi. As the team continues to improve and expand Pi’s capabilities, it is expected to have a positive impact on people’s lives.
Inflection AI, founded by Mustafa Suleyman, Karén Simonyan, and Reid Hoffman in early 2022, is a Public Benefit Corporation with a mission to make personal AIs available to every person in the world. With the release of Pi, millions of people will have the opportunity to enhance their lives, making them more meaningful, productive, and enjoyable.
