  "account": "Pi is a software project that embodies simplicity and elegance. Its maintainers imbue it with craftsmanship and provide endless customization options. Using Pi allows users to be free from AI companies' lock-in and data collection. However, Pi's minimalist design lacks certain aspects of a standard agentic engineering environment needed by software engineers in an organization. Pi pod aims to fill this gap by offering a simple and elegant software built on top of Pi that runs agents in isolated sandboxes with minimal tooling. The self-hosted edition is designed for easy installation and customization, providing users true ownership and privacy. Businesses can also benefit from self-hosting by having their entire agentic environment in their preferred data center. A hosted service option is planned to be available soon. The project is a labor of love from the Pi team and the enthusiastic community of Pi users. Feedback and contributions are welcome via the GitHub repository or by email to evan at pipod dot dev.",
