Hoffman and Suleyman’s AI startup Inflection launches ChatGPT-like chatbot

Inflection AI, the artificial intelligence startup founded by LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and Google DeepMind co-founder Mustafa Suleyman, has released its first AI chatbot product, the company said on Tuesday.

Similar to OpenAI’s viral chatbot ChatGPT, Inflection’s AI chatbot, named Pi, uses generative AI technology to interact with users through dialogues, in which people can ask questions and share feedback.

Suleyman, Inflection AI’s CEO, said the startup developed the technology in-house and its Pi chatbot was built on prioritizing human-like conversations with a high level of emotional intelligence, including being kind and supportive.
