Pi2Day releases three major updates, AI code-free platform becomes the focus
Pi Network launched three major updates at the annual Pi2Day event, symbolizing the platform's important transition from pure mining to practical construction. Core updates include: Pi App Studio, ecosystem directory staking function, and Pi Desktop 0.5.2 version upgrade.
Pi App Studio is the highlight of this release. This AI-driven no-code development platform allows users to build applications using only natural language descriptions. The tool provides two main functions: industry-specific AI chatbot construction and an open application builder that is currently in the testing phase.
The ecosystem directory staking function launched at the same time allows users to increase the visibility of the applications they support by staking Pi tokens. This model breaks away from traditional advertising promotion and centralized ranking algorithms. The more Pi tokens an application stakes, the higher its ranking in the Pi Browser directory.
Pi Desktop software has received a major update, with version upgraded to 0.5.2 and officially renamed Pi Desktop. The update includes full window adjustment support, public key display on the troubleshooting page, and enhanced Docker compatibility.
The platform currently has more than 2.6 million active desktop nodes, of which more than 400,000 are running on various test networks and the main network.

The price of the currency is weak, and technical indicators show a bearish trend
Despite the impressive technical progress, Pi's market performance has been less than satisfactory. According to CoinGecko data, as of press time, Pi has fallen 16% in the past 48 hours and more than 4% in the past 24 hours. The price is $0.5262, just above the key support level of $0.518.
The relative strength index (RSI) shows that Pi Coin's momentum is currently trending bearish. After a brief recovery attempt this week, the RSI failed to gain a foothold above the neutral line, confirming the lack of strong buying pressure. Panic selling appears to be driving negative momentum as investors react to uncertainty ahead of Pi2Day.
If Pi fails to hold above the $0.518 support level, it could face further declines to $0.491. Despite the recent price decline, overall investor sentiment for Pi is surprisingly positive. The weighted sentiment indicator, which tracks the number of mentions of Pi on the social platform, rose above the zero line for the first time in a month, showing that the Pi2Day event generated significant interest and put Pi back in the spotlight.
