Wabi Pivots to AI Messenger With Wabi 2.0, Invite-Only
Wabi, founded by Replika's Eugenia Kuyda, is shifting from a prompt-based app builder to an AI messenger called Wabi 2.0, available by invite code on X.
Wabi announced this week that it is pivoting from a prompt-based app builder to an AI messenger. The new product, called Wabi 2.0, can still build apps, but the core experience is now messaging.
Wabi 2.0 is currently available only by invite code, which the company is distributing on X. There is no open sign-up yet.
The pivot comes as OpenAI pushes deeper into interactive experiences inside ChatGPT. At its Dev Day, OpenAI announced an update to ChatGPT's plugins that allows apps to offer interactive experiences within ChatGPT.
Wabi was originally founded by Eugenia Kuyda, who previously started the AI companion app Replika. Before the pivot, Wabi allowed anyone to use prompts to build apps.
