Wabi FAQ: Answers to Ten Common Questions About the AI Assistant

Wabi Wiki is an unofficial guide to Wabi, the AI assistant app. It answers the most frequently asked questions about Wabi in plain language.

Wabi AI is a free personal AI assistant designed to work with others. It organizes your life into topic threads, which can be solo or shared group chats. Wabi AI also creates mini-apps such as trackers, polls, itineraries, and widgets directly within conversations.

The app is free to download and use on iOS, Android, and Mac. Wabi, Inc., the developer, has not decided on a paid model yet, so paid tiers may come later.

Wabi was created by Eugenia Kuyda, the founder of Replika. The company raised $20 million in a pre-seed funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z).

Wabi is compatible with iOS, Android, and Mac. As of October 2026, there is no Windows app available.

Wabi is not the same as Wabi – Virtual Phone Number, which is a separate app from a different developer for WhatsApp Business. Always check the developer name before downloading an app.

A Wabi mini-app is a small interactive tool created by Wabi inside a chat thread. Users can create mini-apps like weight trackers, movie-night polls, trip itineraries, and shared grocery lists. Favorite mini-apps can be pinned to the phone's home screen as widgets.

Wabi can be used both alone and in groups. Solo threads function as personal assistants, while shared threads allow multiple users to collaborate in the same chat and mini-apps.

Wabi 2.0 provides the latest version of the app. The iOS app's build numbers range from the 3.0.x series (as of September 28, 2026), while Android builds are in the 2.0.x range. Despite the different numbering, they represent the same product.

Wabi is no longer on a waitlist. It became available for immediate download and sign-up following the public launch on October 19, 2026.
