When you were backed by Microsoft and Nvidia and a couple of billionaires you probably aren't an underdog. It's interesting in the multiplicity of all these chatbots and co-pilots what will actually stick? I think Infection claims to have 1 million daily active users. That cannot compare very favorably to character AI or even my AI in snap can it?
And what would we actually pay a subscription for?
You forgot Reid Hoffman ;) haha. I agree with you - in terms of funding Inflection is not an underdog, they are extremely well-funded. I meant that more in the sense of how their are being looked at. Everyone seems to be hyper-fixated on Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and Anthropic, meanwhile, Inflection is pushing ahead and making serious progress.
I could be wrong, but it also looks like they are not looking to make a quick buck, but really investing in maturing their product, Pi. If you can make people stick, that's worth much more. And their approach might work. It's a product that has character (literally).
Haven’t seen any emoji yet, but why do I have to be older to use PI - is it because I don’t need to learn the art of building complex prompts to get what I want?
I find Pi to be much easier to talk with compared to ChatGPT, and more accurate and to-the-point in its answer. Also, it can answer questions about current events much like Perplexity. Fully agree that its underrated.
I’ve not tried Pi recently so I am going to have a play with it. I mostly use Claude so this should be interesting.

Yes I can see what you mean. Pi is definitely a general purpose B2C chatbot.
And so many emoji! They must be aiming for older folk.
I wouldn't be surprised if they would launch one or more characters in the future, tailoring to different audiences, like gen-Z'ers.
Weren't Character AI supposed to get a bigger funding round from Google? I wonder what happened.
