Pi Network Supercharges App Studio with AI Integration and Full Code Control for Developers

Pi Network has rolled out a comprehensive update to its App Studio, introducing a visually revamped home screen featuring the Pi symbol with AI inscribed on a dynamic purple-yellow background. This change, prompted by a bug report from a hackathon participant, underscores the Core Team's responsive approach and commitment to developer collaboration.

The upgrade empowers creators with full code download and upload capabilities, allowing them to edit source code externally and re-upload it for seamless testing and optimization within the platform. Enhanced management tools now enable developers to update app descriptions, images, and links, rename or delete projects, and share apps via the Fireside Forum. Additionally, the app creation limit has increased from 10 to 100 projects, and users can now load up to 100 Pi tokens at once, addressing previous workflow bottlenecks.

AI integration is a central focus, with Pi AI facilitating chatbot development and automated user interactions, aligning with trends in decentralized AI tools like elizaOS. Pi Network, which boasts over 55 million users and has seen 1.5 million applications developed since 2023, reported $1.2 billion in internal transactions in 2025. Although Pi is not publicly traded, its internal value is estimated between $0.10 and $0.50, with potential for growth post-mainnet launch.

The community has responded positively, praising the team's humility and the update's potential to empower both non-technical users and experienced developers. These enhancements position Pi Network as a robust, developer-friendly platform moving closer to mainnet readiness.
