## Executive Summary
Wabi is repositioning its prompt-based app builder as a personal AI agent that can create interfaces on demand, combining chat, apps, and ongoing tasks



## Full Coverage
Wabi , the AI startup that allowed anyone to use prompts to build apps , is undergoing a slight pivot as demand for AI agents, like Meta's Muse and Instinct , takes off. The company announced this week that it is now becoming an AI messenger of sorts — but one that's still capable of making apps to help you get things done

The startup's founder, Eugenia Kuyda, who previously founded the AI companion startup Replika, described Wabi 2.0 as a "personal agent that does stuff for you and builds the interface you need in the moment."
