Straight answers about Pichu: what it does, how it stays under your control, where your data goes and what the beta can’t do yet.
What is Pichu?
Pichu is an AI assistant with its own cloud computer. It takes initiative on what you ask it to watch and asks before sensitive actions. Made by YatoFix, in beta.
Is Pichu safe?
How Pichu keeps an AI assistant that acts under your control: approvals, a second model reviewing sensitive actions, restricted outside triggers, a password vault and an activity log.
What is the Bot’s computer?
Each Pichu user gets a persistent cloud Linux computer with a desktop, a browser, a terminal and files. Watch your Bots work live and take over at any time.
How is Pichu proactive?
Pichu runs routines on a schedule, on incoming email or on a webhook, sends a morning brief, follows tasks over several days and tells you when something is blocked.
How do approvals work in Pichu?
In Pichu, emails, sending, deleting, payments, system settings and routines can require your approval, Bot by Bot. Payments always do. Each request shows the details and a second model’s review.
Can I self-host Pichu?
Pichu will offer a free self-hosted edition under a proprietary license, alongside a paid managed cloud. The complete self-hosting package is in preparation.
Which apps and MCP servers can Pichu connect to?
Pichu connects to email, calendars and work tools, to remote MCP servers from a catalog or by address, and uses its own browser for sites without a connector.
Where is my data with Pichu?
Pichu stores accounts, conversations, files, memory and the Bots’ computers on servers in France. The AI model provider receives what each task needs: DeepSeek by default, or Mistral with your own key.
How do teams of Bots and memory work in Pichu?
Start with one main assistant and add specialist Bots that work in groups and delegate tasks. Each Bot has a memory you can read and edit.
Which apps does Pichu have?
Pichu runs in the browser and as native apps for Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone (TestFlight beta) and Android (beta), with the same account everywhere.
What are the limits of the Pichu beta?
What Pichu doesn’t do yet during the beta: voice, control of your own computer, the complete self-hosting package, some connectors, App Store and Google Play.
How does Pichu compare with other AI tools?
An honest comparison of Pichu with chat assistants, workflow automation tools and human assistants: what each is good at and when to choose which.
