Expanded AI-Assisted Customization
Creators now have expanded AI customization features within Pi App Studio.
- Both chatbot and custom app creators can now generate logos for their apps using AI.

These capabilities make it easier for creators to refine their products while maintaining creative flexibility.
Enhanced Discovery and Staking Integration
A new interface for discovering apps within the App Studio allows Pioneers to explore, vote on, and stake Pi for community apps. The apps showcased within this interface also serve as examples for creators, providing reference points and inspiration on what types of apps exist and gain traction within the ecosystem.
