Wabi, an AI startup founded by Eugenia Kuyda, has pivoted from a prompt-to-app builder to a dynamic messaging experience that generates user interfaces on demand. The new Wabi 2.0 aims to compete with generalized AI agents like Meta’s Muse and OpenAI’s ChatGPT plugins by creating temporary apps for specific tasks, such as calorie tracking or family scheduling, within the chat flow. Kuyda argues that traditional chat-only agents suffer from information overload, whereas combining conversation with on-the-fly UI creation offers a more efficient user experience. The updated platform is currently available via invite codes distributed on X.
