The outcome

Create a respectful opening, listening plan, and boundary for a conversation you will conduct yourself.

Pi is a personal conversational AI assistant from Inflection AI. Reflective conversation, brainstorming, goal clarification, rehearsal, and low-stakes personal organization in a warm conversational format. This guide narrows that broad capability into one repeatable outcome, with checkpoints that keep the source material and your judgment in the loop.

Before you begin

Set the boundary before the tool starts.

Choose one real task, identify who will use the result, and decide what evidence or test will make the result acceptable. Gather only the source material needed for that task. If the work contains confidential, personal, regulated, or client-owned information, confirm that the platform and account are approved before sharing it.

Troiana principle

AI should make the work easier to inspect. If the workflow removes the source, the owner, or the review step, redesign the workflow.

Step by step

A workflow you can repeat.

  1. 01

    Describe the purpose, relationship, desired outcome, tone, and safety constraints using roles instead of names or identifying details.

  2. 02

    Draft a concise opening built from observable facts, your own feelings and needs, and a genuine question rather than a diagnosis or accusation.

  3. 03

    Role-play several plausible responses, including disagreement and silence, while asking Pi to flag manipulative, coercive, or escalating language.

  4. 04

    Revise for your authentic voice, prepare active-listening phrases, boundaries, a pause option, and real-world support if the conversation feels unsafe.

  5. 05

    Conduct the conversation without reading a generated script mechanically, respect the other person's agency, and reflect afterward with minimal private detail.

Working standard

What good use looks like.

  • Anonymize the other person.
  • Do not use AI to diagnose motives.
  • Prioritize real-world safety and consent.

Pi is designed to feel personal and emotionally intelligent, which can encourage over-trust or over-disclosure. It is not a therapist, emergency service, lawyer, doctor, or financial adviser. Inflection states that information may be used to develop and train its models, applies moderation and human review in some cases, and has specific retention rules. Minimize sensitive data, preserve real human support, verify consequential claims, and use history export and deletion controls deliberately.
