Wabi, the AI startup that enables anyone to create applications through prompts, is making a minor shift in response to the rising interest in AI agents like Meta’s Muse and Instinct. This week, the company revealed that Wabi is evolving into a type of AI messenger—while still proficient in developing apps to assist you in completing tasks.

The startup’s leader Eugenia Kuyda, who previously created the AI companion platform Replika, referred to Wabi 2.0, as the updated experience is named, as a “personal agent that handles tasks for you and constructs the necessary interface in real time.”

It proposes a comparable value proposition to the previous version of Wabi—yet one that users will engage with differently. Rather than placing itself against other vibe-coding platforms, Wabi 2.0 strives to compete more directly with AI agents that integrate both conversational and productivity functions in a unified interface.

This development coincides with companies like OpenAI and others considering how applications will function within their more general chatbot user interfaces; for example, OpenAI announced at its Dev Day an enhancement to ChatGPT’s plugins, enabling apps to provide interactive experiences within ChatGPT, where the app’s name is more prominently displayed on ChatGPT’s sidebar.

In a post on X, Kuyda articulated how Wabi’s new experience will be more intuitive for consumers, who desire to do more than merely communicate with an agent.

“The more you engage with a chat-only agent, the more the experience deteriorates. Your history and active tasks become lost in an infinite scroll. People seek more than just typing; they want to tap, scroll, and explore. They appreciate the capabilities of agents, but they also value software,” she stated. “The most effective agent will seamlessly blend both.”

The concept is that as a user requests a task from the agent, it could generate a user interface on demand to assist in fulfilling whatever the request entails. For example, Kuyda proposed that users could create elements like a calorie tracker, a weightlifting journal, and a weight management tool, all accessible within her discussion on health-related subjects.

In another conversation centered around family, users could design a schedule for their children’s activities, a language acquisition app, an application that tracks local child-friendly events, and other related topics that pertain to parenting, home management, or children’s interests.

“Up till now, personal agents have operated one person, one chat, executing a series of isolated tasks. We envision the future as your agent, your applications, and your connections all in one space, managing the aspects of life that are most significant together,” wrote Kuyda.

The newly launched Wabi 2.0 app is currently accessible only via invitation codes, which are also being distributed on X.
