About Pi
Pi, by Inflection AI, is a personal AI built around supportive conversation and emotional intelligence rather than productivity. Conversations are voice-friendly and feel deliberately calm and curious, helping users think through problems, prepare for difficult conversations, plan their week, or just talk. Pi can run on the web, iOS, Android, WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram DMs and SMS, keeping conversation history synced across surfaces, and supports several natural voices. Under the hood it runs on Inflection-2.5 and the newer Inflection models, which the team has positioned as among the most empathic conversational systems. Pi is free for individuals and is used as a journaling partner, coach and brainstorming companion. Inflection has refocused on enterprise via Inflection for Enterprise while keeping Pi available for consumers.
