What happened

Wabi, the consumer AI startup founded by Replika creator Eugenia Kuyda, opened its personal AI assistant to public download on October 19, 2026, making the app available for iOS, Android, and Mac after an invite-only rollout that began on September 28, 2026. The company announced the release in a launch thread on its official X account, presenting Wabi as an AI assistant designed to be used together with the people in a user's life. Google is an Internet and software company based in Mountain View. Apple is a consumer electronics and software company based in Cupertino.

A Messenger That Builds Its Own Interface Kuyda introduced the current product, which the company calls Wabi 2.0, in an announcement thread on September 28, 2026 .

The company described the assistant as highly proactive, saying it notices what would help a group, makes plans, keeps things moving, handles routine tasks, and builds small apps when they are useful. Kuyda promoted the launch in posts from her own account the same day.

The company’s download page offers direct App Store, Google Play, and Mac download links with no waitlist step, and the App Store listing from developer Wabi, Inc. shows the app is free and describes it as an assistant for getting things done with other people.

She described a messenger in which users talk to Wabi, a personal agent that acts on their behalf and builds the interface needed in the moment, and said users can add anyone in their life to any thread. She argued that chat-only agents greet people with an empty text box and bury history in an endless scroll, writing that “the most powerful agent will be the one that combines both.”

Kuyda said her own health thread holds a calorie tracker, a weightlifting log, a weight tracker, and her health appointments.
