Twelve years after presenting an early digital concierge called IO, entrepreneur Eugenia Kuyda has launched Wabi, a personal AI assistant designed to help people organize tasks and coordinate with others.
Wabi is built around separate conversation threads for different needs, such as health, family or shared plans. Within each thread, the assistant can create tailored mini-apps, including trackers, event finders and reading lists. Users can also invite others to shared threads, where they can plan activities and use apps together.
The product marks a new direction for Kuyda's company. Its earlier concept focused on letting people make and share small apps; Wabi now aims to have the AI build useful tools automatically, including after users connect services such as email. People can request additional apps or start new threads as their needs change.
Kuyda previously founded Luka, which later became Replika. Her original vision for a conversational lifestyle assistant is now being revisited with more advanced AI capabilities. Wabi is currently free, with its future business model still undecided.
By combining personalized tools with shared conversations, Wabi points toward AI assistants that may become more integrated into everyday planning and collaboration.
