Pi Network announced the expansion of SoloHost, its application platform for Pi Desktop, with two new featured additions: OpenClaw, a local AI agent, and Atlassian MCP Server, a tool for connecting AI assistants with Jira.
OpenClaw is a locally run AI agent that assists users with various tasks using either a locally hosted AI model or external services such as ChatGPT and Claude. User memory data is stored locally on the computer, though requests to cloud-based models are processed by their respective providers. When run through SoloHost, OpenClaw operates within a container that restricts access to unrelated files and resources on the user's computer, with Pi Desktop automating much of the technical configuration.
The addition joins Hermes, another local AI agent previously available through SoloHost.
Atlassian MCP Server targets developers and professional teams, allowing them to run a local MCP server and connect compatible AI tools with Jira project management software.
Pi Network positioned both additions as part of its effort to transform its infrastructure into a practical computing platform. SoloHost, which launched on June 28, enables third-party developers to publish self-hosted applications that node operators, referred to as Pioneers, can run through Pi Desktop. The platform theoretically provides developers access to Pi Network's network of over 420,000 claimed node operators.
Separately, Pi Network adjusted pricing for its App Studio model on August 24, moving away from subsidized rates to reflect actual AI service costs.
