Adding more fuel to the fire, a few users reported seeing the Gemini AI logo inside the Pi Network app. One widely circulated screenshot showed what appeared to be the Gemini icon. Another user remarked that the star symbol in Pi’s teaser closely resembled the Gemini branding.
Community groups such as Pi Barter Mall quickly amplified the claims, with some asserting a partnership was already in place. Others speculated that Pi Network might be building a proprietary AI tool, tentatively dubbed PiAI.
