Wabi

Launched publicly on October 19, 2026 after an invite-only rollout that began September 28, Wabi is a multiplayer AI assistant built as a messenger app — an AI you use together, not alone. Users run several agent-driven chat threads (each for a task or a long-term goal), share threads as group chats, and the agent builds small custom apps right inside them — think a weight-loss tracker in a health thread or a nearby children's events app in a family thread. Connecting your email automatically creates starter threads and apps.

Key facts: Wabi was founded by Eugenia Kuyda, the founder of Replika, who left Replika as CEO in 2025. The company raised a $20 million pre-seed round in 2025 led by Andreessen Horowitz, with angels including Naval Ravikant, Garry Tan and Sarah Guo. It connects to email, calendars and bank accounts; processing can route through Google, Anthropic and OpenAI models. The company says it is SOC 2 compliant and stores most user data in the US.

Plans: genuinely free — the app is free on iOS, Android and Mac with no waitlist, and the company has not announced paid pricing; its longer-term business model is still undecided.

Best for: families and groups that plan together, households coordinating schedules and money, and anyone who wants small custom tools without building apps themselves.
