🥟 Chao-Down #77 A new chatbot from Inflection AI, Amazon's plan to revamp Alexa with ChatGPT features, Microsoft to offer private ChatGPT for 10x the price

Another day, another chatbot launch.

This time we get a first look at the buzzy but secretive startup Inflection AI and their new chat assistant called PI.

Short for “Personal Intelligence”, Pi markets itself as a more personal AI that can play the role of an active listener, providing coaching and advice, and helping users talk through questions or problems in a back-and-forth experience while learning more about the user over time.

Will Inflection be able to differentiate in an already crowded space? May the best product win.
