An artificial intelligence startup from LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and DeepMind co-founder Mustafa Suleyman is rolling out a chatbot intended to serve as a supportive personal companion that gives friendly advice.

Palo Alto, California-based Inflection AI released Pi — which stands for “personal intelligence” — on Tuesday on multiple platforms, including on the web and via an iOS app. Pi is currently free to use and is intended for all kinds of interactions, including chatting about personal problems and getting advice.
