Congrats on releasing this.

OTOH all my attempts of driving harnesses via chat have been frustrating because they all fail against the fact that I want to see the code and mobile devices are not really good at that.

Better on tablets, but even there I get more value on having final html artifacts pushed on a server and inspecting them, and dashboards.

Is there some obvious use case I am missing? Or tool for inspecting code?

I don’t run openclaw et al, is that a context where you find this valuable?

There'd be no shame either way. Pi is built on the idea that you should ask it to extend itself.

But there is a difference in ordering something or doing it. If PI extended itself, PI did it. If I tell you, stay hydrated and get enough sleep, did I improve your live or you?

Would I have without your prompt?

So I guess we (and a lot of other people) have had the same problem, which is managing your agents on the go. I decided to build a plugin[1] for my terminal multiplexer (herdr) to access the sessions via PWA served through a tailnet. [1] https://github.com/AltanS/collie

check out tsnet if you are building on tailscale anyways. your app can then be a tailnet node that can read tailnet WhoIs data and have access controlled via tailnet ACL

really cool! didn't know this existed, thanks! Going to have to figure out how to make this work with headscale though, looks a bit tedious.

Would I program without a customer‘s order.

Imagine it works like this.

The customer send me a mail, I program, I send the result back the next day, he sends changes he wants, I program again, send them back next day etc. until he is satisfied.

Who is the programmer? Me or my customer.

Now I hook up an AI to my email account without telling my customer. The AI reads the customer‘s mail, programs, sends the results the next day, customer sends changes, etc.

Who is the programmer?

Pi is not "some mayfly LLM third-tier coding agent" - in the brief research I've done, it's the best positioned to survive: it's small and the creator has shown good taste (something that can't be said about the creators of Claude Code).

It didn’t even exist half a year ago and there is zero in the title or the linked markdown file to give any context at all as to what this “Pi” actually is or what telegram integration with “Pi” is supposed to accomplish or even any link to the upstream project.

Given the ridiculously generic singleton “Pi” name this is just foolishness. It’s all the chutzpah of Musk renaming twitter X, except instead of already being the most influential product launched by the richest man in the world it’s an open source project launched a few months ago.

To all the haters to not knowing what "pi" means in this context. Is mario zechner's ai agent / coding harness [1][2], similar in spirit albeit much less complex to claude code or openai's codex and others. I wouldn't call it third tier. If anything alongside opencode, and codex, its one of the "first tier" and the only non-VC-backed (at least before mario joined earendil (idk about earendil raising or not) anyways.…

There was no “context” provided whatsoever, not even in the link.

Its in the first comment. Presumably that slipped down the thread as other comments came in.

moreso, it's the only harness that maps close to Neovim philosophy of "everything is a plugin." heck, I took a bite at it and it seems fun to build plugins! especially if it's something as silly as warhammer.pi :) (shameless plug, npm: @bpavuk/warhammer.pi) that thing makes Pi talk like Adeptus Mechanicus. what's more fitting to a machine than voice that's associated with machines?

Going to try this prompt out within OpenCode, thanks for the share!

I guess it's fair to request a star in exchange: https://tangled.org/bpavuk.neocities.org/warhammer.pi
