Replika founder Eugenia Kuyda opened Wabi's shared AI assistant to the public Oct. 19, giving groups a common chat in which they can organize plans and create tools for them.
People can set up a conversation for a particular activity and invite others into it. Wabi can make a calendar or tracker within the chat and help plan a trip. The company lists downloads for iOS, Android and Mac, while its terms say the service is free at present.
The release gives a group setting to the small apps Wabi was funded to develop. Andreessen Horowitz said it led a $20 million pre-seed round in 2025, when it described Wabi as a platform for making and sharing such apps. Its current product lets people create tools as they work through a plan together in a conversation.
The tasks the assistant can carry out depend partly on which accounts a user connects. Wabi's privacy notice lists email and calendar accounts, as well as the option to link a payment method or bank account for financial tasks. Wabi says it may share requests and data from linked accounts with AI providers, including Google, Anthropic and OpenAI, to complete tasks. Wabi says its agreements prohibit the providers from using that data to train their models.
The concept has roots in an earlier project by Kuyda. TechCrunch reported that Kuyda introduced IO in 2014 as a chat-based concierge for travel and lifestyle requests. Kuyda told the outlet that people wanted software suited to their needs without spending time building it. Wabi's group chats extend that approach to activities people plan with others.
TechCrunch reported that Wabi has yet to settle on a business model. Kuyda told the outlet the company is in talks to raise more funds.
