Replika founder launches Wabi 2.0, a multiplayer AI assistant

Eugenia Kuyda released Wabi 2.0, a messenger-style AI assistant with multiple agentic threads where the agent builds custom apps for tasks and long-term goals. The company, which grew out of Luka and Replika, raised a $20M pre-seed in 2025; Wabi is free for now with no business model settled.

• Wabi 2.0 runs as a messenger with separate threads for different tasks
• The agent builds custom apps automatically once email is connected
• Threads can be shared and work like group chats
• The service is free and the company is in talks to raise more funds
