Set Up Pi

Use Pi → Connect in TermSquad to install Pi and open its provider login selector. Pi can use different providers, so choose the account and model service you intend to use.

Connect Pi

1. Select a running computer.
2. Open Settings → AI tools → Pi.
3. Choose Connect and wait for installation.
4. Select a provider in Pi’s login menu.
5. Complete the provider’s browser or credential flow.
6. Return to TermSquad and finish the login session.

TermSquad opens Pi with a small login helper that invokes Pi’s native /login selector. Ordinary Pi sessions do not need that helper.

For provider options, see Pi’s provider documentation.

Start a normal session

Open a terminal in your repository and run pi, or select Pi from Agents when the launcher supports it. Confirm the provider and model before requesting changes.

Use pi --version to inspect the installed tool. A provider may accept sign-in while denying a particular model, so verify with a small task.

How does Pi use shared memory?

Pi’s TermSquad integration uses the termsquad memory CLI path rather than assuming a native MCP connection. Ask it to recall the current project’s context and report whether that lookup succeeded.

Do not interpret the absence of an MCP server in Pi as proof that shared memory is unavailable.
