The UX was quite different as it seemed the ambition. Pi.ai just seems like a fine tuned chatgpt that’s aimed at being “supportive,” no?
Like ChatGPT, sure, but Pi uses internally developed, novel language models, not OpenAI's.
Experience wasn’t particularly helpful at helping me with problems.

They say in their about page: "We will never monetize your data. We will never monetize your attention. And we believe that the only way we can build towards the future we envision is through the continuous reinforcement of mutual trust and respect. Currently, we leverage best-in-class cloud-hosted models, including ones from OpenAI, Anthropic, and a selection of open-source options. Over time, we plan to reduce exte…
How do they intend to make money?
This is the most likely-to-be-Sherlocked[1] thing I've seen in a while. And when Apple does it, the processing will be done on-device. [1] https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sherlocked

For me this is the main counterargument against apps like these. I want to feel free to post any information into this without thinking about who may read or use it. Local is the only way to go for software like this in my opinion.
This could be the first ten minutes of a Black Mirror episode.
"Dot is, at its most simple, an app you chat with on iOS. You can send it words, voice memos, pictures, PDFs, and it’s thrilled to search the web for you, too. Communicating through written text (Dot’s voice is coming next year)" [0]. It looks quite "ambitious"[1]: - Automated File Management: Dot creates, organizes, and retrieves both structured and unstructured information. - Adaptive Intelligence: It learns from p…
