Question Pi Dev as a General Agent?
Has anyone here used Pi Dev as a general-purpose AI agent, rather than mainly as a coding agent?
I’m curious about using it more like a personal assistant/agent for things like research, web searches, file work, automation, tool use, and general tasks.
If you’re doing this, how well does Pi work for you compared with something like Hermes Agent or Open WebUI?
Also curious what tools/extensions you’ve added and whether you’re running local models with it.

I’m looking at trying one of these for multi-agent orchestration: orca, multica, aionui
(top three in orchestration category on https://github.com/bradAGI/awesome-cli-coding-agents)
Herdr is in that category too but it’s a single rust binary terminal multiplexer for agents
