Help bring more AI-created apps to the Pi ecosystem and enter a raffle to win Pi Network merch!
Pioneers are invited to introduce Pi App Studio to vibe coders and AI-builder communities around the world.
Why?
Because as AI makes building apps easier, competition for human attention and user acquisition becomes more intense.
Pi App Studio helps creators connect AI-built apps to:
60M+ engaged Pioneers
Built-in payments
Identity infrastructure
Pi Ad Network
And more!
Find a relevant builder community, share how Pi can help creators reach real users, then submit your post through the Pi App to enter the raffle.
By helping more creators discover Pi, Pioneers can help expand the range of apps, tools, and services available in the Pi ecosystem. A stronger app ecosystem gives Pioneers more ways to use Pi, support useful products, and participate in real utility.

CiDi Games, a Pi Network Ventures portfolio company, launched their beta app in the Pi Browser!
This brought Pioneers 10 instant-access games along with skill-based tournaments, platform progression through CiDiScore, the Pi ELF companion experience, Elf Continent, and developer infrastructure for Pi-integrated games.
In less than one week after the beta launch, CiDi Games independently attracted over 81,000 Pioneers across 160+ regions and 1.2 million game sessions organically, demonstrating how the Pi Platform can help utility-focused apps reach real users, drive engagement, and monetization, which in turn expands utility across the Pi ecosystem.

Watch Pi Founder Nicolas Kokkalis speak in the Consensus 2026 panel “How to Prove You’re Human in an AI World (Without Doxing Yourself)”.
The discussion focused on how digital trust and identity verification systems must evolve as AI makes it possible to generate bots, agents, and synthetic identities that closely resemble real human behavior at scale.
The panel explored a core question for the AI era: how systems can continue to verify real human participation without requiring unnecessary disclosure of personal information.
A key theme was that proof of humanity is context-dependent, with different systems requiring different levels of verification depending on use case and risk.
The importance of privacy-preserving design was also highlighted, ensuring verification can scale while remaining usable for real users.
As AI lowers the barrier to building and interacting online, the harder challenge may be connecting digital systems to real users, trusted participation, and meaningful utility.
Pi’s Layer 1 blockchain, identity verification, payments infrastructure, non-custodial wallets, smart contracts, and engaged global community are all part of Pi’s ongoing work to address that challenge.

AI is creating a new wave of builders.
People are turning ideas into apps faster than ever before.
But most creators still face the same problem after building:
How do you actually reach users?
Pi App Studio can now help close that gap.
Creators can now take apps built with external AI coding tools and connect them directly into an ecosystem with:
60M+ engaged users
Integrated payments
Decentralized human workforce
Platform-level infrastructure
If you know builders, vibe coders, indie creators, or AI communities looking for distribution and real users, share this with them.
The next generation of apps will come from more people than ever before.
Now they need places where those apps can actually be used.

The Pi Founders are featured speakers at Consensus 2026 in Miami this week.
Chengdiao Fan will speak on Wednesday, May 6 (11:15–11:35 AM EDT, Convergence Stage) on “Aligning Web3, AI, and Blockchain for Utility,” exploring how Pi’s blockchain infrastructure, verified identity, and globally engaged network can support utility‑driven products and AI‑era business models.
Nicolas Kokkalis will join a panel on Thursday, May 7 (10:15–10:45 AM EDT, Convergence Stage) titled “How to Prove You’re Human in an AI World (Without Doxing Yourself),” exploring how the internet’s trust model is breaking as AI systems become capable of creating bots that can generate profiles and interact like real users.
Together, these sessions highlight Pi’s approach to the AI era: supporting utility-driven products and sustainable business models through blockchain, verified identity, and a globally engaged network, while enabling global identity verification and providing authenticity solutions through Pi’s native KYC solution.
See you there, Pioneers!
AI companies can access Pi’s human input infrastructure through the network’s over 18 million identity-verified Pioneers to improve models, tune inference quality, and scale data labeling and evaluation.
Read the announcement to learn more about how Pi can provide such services for AI companies, and share it with AI companies that may be interested!
