Wabi's features, in plain language: threads, mini-apps, widgets and shared chats
I'm the author of Wabi Wiki, an unofficial guide to the Wabi AI assistant — not affiliated with Wabi. If you only open Wabi when you have a question, you may miss how it is meant to be used day to day. Its features are less about one clever answer and more about keeping conversations, small tools and everyday tasks in places you can return to. Here is a plain-language tour of what it can do, and…
Wabi AI is an assistant that goes beyond just providing answers. Its features revolve around keeping conversations, small tools, and everyday tasks organized and easily accessible. Threads are the foundation of organization in Wabi. Each thread is dedicated to a specific topic, project, or group, ensuring that related information stays together and doesn't get mixed with unrelated conversations.
Shared chats, unlike private chats, allow multiple users to engage with Wabi and its mini-apps simultaneously, making it more like a collaborative assistant rather than just a personal one.
One of Wabi's standout features is the mini-apps. These are self-contained tools generated inside a chat to address specific needs, such as trackers, polls, itineraries, lists, quizzes, or countdowns. With Wabi 2.0, the assistant can autonomously decide which mini-apps to create, offering a personalized software experience that is disposable and remixable for one purpose.
Wabi can be accessed directly from your home screen on iOS and Android devices through widgets, providing quick access to threads and mini-apps without the need to open the entire application. The assistant can connect to email, calendar, and optionally payment or bank accounts, but the important aspect is the scope of these connections, which are limited per chat for enhanced security.
For time-saving tasks, Wabi offers errand assistance, including booking appointments, handling returns, finding refunds, and canceling subscriptions. It also monitors for changes in bills or missing refunds, and it verifies important actions before proceeding. On Android devices, Wabi can access Health Connect data to summarize fitness and wellness metrics such as steps, calories, distance, workouts, sleep, heart rate, and weight, promoting awareness without diagnosing health conditions.
Wabi is available on iOS, Android, and Mac platforms, and it operates on a freemium model, currently free. As a cloud-based service, it may utilize models from Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI depending on the task. The service follows SOC 2 compliance, with most data stored in the United States, ensuring a secure and reliable user experience.
