Wabi 2.0 Shifts From Prompt‑Based App Builder to an AI Messenger That Generates Interfaces on Demand

From App Creation Tool to Agentic Messenger

The AI startup Wabi, which originally let anyone craft applications by typing prompts, announced a strategic pivot this week. Founder Eugenia Kuyda, whose previous venture was the AI companion Replika, says the new version—Wabi 2.0—functions as a “personal agent that does stuff for you and builds the interface you need in the moment.” The move follows rising demand for AI agents such as Meta’s Muse and Instinct, which blend conversation with productivity.

How Wabi 2.0 Works: Dynamic UI Generation

Unlike earlier “vibe‑coding” tools that required users to write prompts, Wabi 2.0 creates a user interface automatically when a task is requested. Kuyda explained that as users ask the agent to perform actions, it can spawn a custom screen to help complete the request. Examples include a calorie tracker, a weightlifting log, a weight tracker for health discussions, and a family calendar that aggregates kids’ activities, a language‑learning app, and a local events guide for parenting.

Competing Landscape: Messaging Agents and Chatbot Plug‑Ins

Wabi 2.0 enters a market where other companies are exploring how apps should live inside chat interfaces. At OpenAI’s recent DevDay, the company unveiled an update to ChatGPT’s plug‑ins that lets apps offer interactive experiences directly within the chatbot, with the app’s name pinned prominently on the sidebar. Kuyda argued that pure chat agents become unwieldy as histories and tasks pile up, and that users want a blend of conversational interaction and software UI.

Real‑World Use Cases: Health, Family, and Productivity

In a health thread, users could summon a calorie tracker or a weight‑monitoring app while discussing fitness goals. In a family thread, the same agent could produce a calendar for children’s activities, a language‑learning tool, or an app that surfaces kid‑friendly local events. Kuyda summed up the vision: “So far, personal agents have been one person, one chat, a stream of one‑off tasks. We think the future is your agent, your apps, and your people in one place, running the parts of life that matter most, together.”

Launch Details: Invite‑Only Rollout on X

Wabi 2.0 is currently available only through an invite code distributed on X. The limited release is designed to gather feedback as the company refines the agent’s ability to generate useful interfaces on demand.
