To all the haters to not knowing what "pi" means in this context. Is mario zechner's ai agent / coding harness [1][2], similar in spirit albeit much less complex to claude code or openai's codex and others.<p>I wouldn't call it third tier. If anything alongside opencode, and codex, its one of the "first tier" and the only non-VC-backed (at least before mario joined earendil (idk about earendil raising or not)<p>anyways. Pi is good. I dont need a telegram client for it, but this precisely show why pi is great, because its really easy to extend pi building plugins or modifying the source (yay, open source)<p>peace<p>1. <a href="https://github.com/earendil-works/pi" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/earendil-works/pi</a><p>2. <a href="https://pi.dev/" rel="nofollow">https://pi.dev/</a>
I like the idea of being able to use agents from my phone. Termux is nice, but not very good on small screens.<p>So I tried Hermes, it had first-class telegram support, but then I never use it for coding and was asking it to delegate to codex / pi. There wasn't much I was gaining from hermes, so I stopped using it.<p>Then I started using Pi more and liked its extensability. Pi is the first software I have forked and developing to meet my needs. I genuinely love how extensible it is.<p>I was in the market to see any extensions that help me run Pi, and sure enough there were. One was from Mario himself, the creator of Pi (<a href="https://github.com/badlogic/pi-telegram" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/badlogic/pi-telegram</a>), but it was a bridge instead of being a client itself. I need to start a chat in the TUI and then continue it in telegram. I didn't like that. Most others were same.<p>So I built my own!
Did you built it or did you tell PI to build it?
NB: "Pi" in this context refers to an agent harness of some sort that I'd never heard of before today, and does not refer to the Raspberry Pi.<p>I was confused.
Maybe have some context here because Pi is an entire letter of the Greek alphabet and not everyone is going to associate it with some mayfly LLM third-tier coding agent, especially for something this niche and mostly useless.
Pi is not "some mayfly LLM third-tier coding agent" - in the brief research I've done, it's the best positioned to survive: it's small and the creator has shown good taste (something that can't be said about the creators of Claude Code).
I was hoping id get to talk to 3.14 over telegram
