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.
Thanks for this! Pi seems an excellent text to speech processor. Better than what I've found elsewhere, and free.
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.
