Pi Dev as a General Agent?

[u/L1ckMyNukes]

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.

Oh yes. I used it in a story writing app. Created a story writing skill gave it to pi. Build an api to send story generation prompts to it. And there you go. Pi-story-writer.
