PoCo vs Pi
A private companion with a named founder and board — not a chatbot whose vendor can vanish.
Pi left a lot of people asking who actually stands behind the product after Inflection's shifts. PoCo is built by ImSafeNow, Inc., with a named founder (Lata Sharma) and a named board, for people who are tired of carrying everything alone and do not want their companion to disappear.
