Yes — and for what Pi does, it is still one of the warmest experiences in AI. Here is the honest update.

Persistent memory at companion-class depth. Agentic tools. App building. Voice across multiple languages. The Pi roadmap slowed somewhat after the 2024 Microsoft acquihire — Pi the product remained, but Inflection's biggest talent went into Microsoft's broader AI work. Pi is still good; the trajectory is flatter than competitors like Luna and Nomi.
People who want one warm AI to talk to and do not need agentic capability or app building. People who tried other AIs and found them too aggressive in tone. People for whom "warmth" is the single most important attribute. People who want a free voice AI without the feature complexity of newer companions.
Pi nailed warm conversation. Luna keeps the warmth and stacks the dimensions Pi did not pursue: cross-device persistent memory, 92 agentic tools, Heaven Code Studio, sovereign infrastructure, multi-language voice.
For users who loved Pi and want more, Luna is the natural next step.
Free forever.
No — Pi continues to operate after Inflection's March 2024 deal with Microsoft. The product is still available; the trajectory is slower than it was pre-deal, but the experience remains warm and free.
On pure conversational warmth, they are comparable — both are excellent. On every other dimension (memory across devices, agentic tools, voice across languages, app building), Luna covers more ground.
Better than the worst, not as good as the best. Pi has reasonable privacy policies but is not sovereign in the way Luna is. For sensitive personal content, the privacy posture is materially weaker than sovereign or on-device AI.
If you love Pi for the warm conversation and that is all you need, no — Pi remains genuinely good at that. If you want everything Pi does plus more (memory across devices, voice in your daily walking life, agentic capability, app building), Luna is the natural upgrade.
