Pi - RedPill AI

Pi speaks Chat Completions. Private AI Proxy configures it automatically.

With Private AI Proxy

Install Private AI Proxy, sign in, and turn on Protected.
On the Agents screen, connect Pi.
Start pi.

The app writes the provider into Pi’s settings with an agent-scoped token for its local API, and restores the previous settings when you disconnect or stop Protected. From the CLI, the same connection is:

pap agents connect pi

Without the Proxy

Export your RedPill API key, then add a custom provider to ~/.pi/agent/models.json:

export REDPILL_AI_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

~/.pi/agent/models.json

{
  "providers": {
    "redpill": {
      "baseUrl": "https://api.redpill.ai/v1",
      "api": "openai-completions",
      "apiKey": "$REDPILL_AI_API_KEY",
      "models": [{ "id": "z-ai/glm-5.3" }]
    }
  }
}

Start pi, run /model, and select the model under redpill. Opening /model reloads the file; press Ctrl+S on the model to save it as the default. The key is read from the process environment. This path does not verify ACI locally. For confidential-only routing, use an is_tee: true model with "baseUrl": "https://tee.redpill.ai/v1". See Verify a response.

Check the connection

Run /model in Pi, confirm the provider and model, then send a short prompt. With the Proxy, the provider points at http://127.0.0.1:4180/v1; without it, at https://api.redpill.ai/v1.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Check
Pi ignores the Proxy	Confirm Connected in the app and that Protected is on, then restart `pi`.
The custom model is absent from `/model`	Check `providers.redpill` in `~/.pi/agent/models.json` and export `REDPILL_AI_API_KEY` in Pi’s shell.
Authentication fails	Check for a stale `redpill` credential in `auth.json`; stored credentials take precedence over `models.json`.
