About Wabi

Wabi AI is a personal software platform that transforms natural-language prompts into shareable, stateful “mini-apps” without requiring users to write code. Positioned as a creator-centric alternative to traditional app ecosystems, the platform integrates app generation, hosting, discovery, and social interaction, enabling anyone—from hobbyists to casual creators—to build tools for everyday life and share them in a community feed. At its core, Wabi automates interface design, backend logic, and app deployment so that users can focus on the idea rather than technical implementation, while other users can interact with, comment on, or remix existing creations.

The company was founded by Eugenia Kuyda, a Russian-born entrepreneur known for pioneering AI companion technology as the founder of Replika, a conversational AI platform that reached tens of millions of users. Kuyda stepped down from her CEO role at Replika to start Wabi, drawing on her experience scaling consumer AI products and her belief that software should be more accessible and personal. Her vision is to make app creation as easy and playful as posting a video, fostering a new user-generated software movement where lightweight, purpose-built apps evolve through community engagement and remix culture. Wabi’s approach blends no-code app building with social discovery to create a dynamic ecosystem of personalized tools that reflect users’ unique needs and creativity.

In late 2025, the company announced a $20 million pre-seed funding round led by prominent venture capital and angel investors—including Andreessen Horowitz partners and a roster of Silicon Valley builders—signaling confidence in Wabi’s mission to democratize software creation and redefine how people interact with AI-powered tools. The platform launched in private beta, with early adopters already producing mini-apps ranging from daily planners to habit trackers, demonstrating the potential for AI-driven app creation to become a mainstream creative medium.
