Wabi 2.0 Transitions to Messaging Experience for App Creation

Wabi announced its pivot to a messaging experience on September 28, 2026, focusing on enhancing user interaction in app creation. Founded by Eugenia Kuyda, who previously established Replika, Wabi aims to integrate personal agents with app functionalities. Kuyda noted that current chat-only agents degrade in quality with increased use, stating, "The more you use a chat-only agent, the worse the experience gets."

The new model will allow users to combine personal agents, apps, and social interactions in a unified platform, with Kuyda asserting, "The most powerful agent will be the one that combines both."

Wabi will distribute invite codes for its new experience via X, and attendees of the upcoming Disrupt experience event in San Francisco from October 13 to 15 can access a 50% discount on a second pass. This shift follows recent advancements in AI agents by companies like Meta, which developed Muse and Instinct, and OpenAI's updates to ChatGPT's plugins, indicating a broader trend towards integrating conversational interfaces in app development. The evolution of Wabi's platform reflects a growing demand for more cohesive and interactive user experiences in AI-driven applications.
