Wabi 2.0 in One Timeline: From Invite-Only Pivot to Public Launch

Wabi 2.0 emerged rapidly, transitioning from an invite-only version to a free public launch across iOS, Android, and Mac platforms between late September and mid-October 2026. This powerful assistant evolved from a traditional prompt-based mini-app tool to a proactive personal assistant living within a messenger, capable of building apps and sharing threads with others. The App Store initially labeled this update as version 3.0.0.

From September 28, Wabi started rolling out version 2.0 via invite codes, following a swift 2-week rollout on October 1-6, with two additional app updates taking iOS to build 3.0.4 by October 5. Android availability followed shortly after, with the Play Store listing for Wabi: AI Messenger 2.0.0 released on October 6. Mac availability was announced on October 14, with the Google Play listing updated on October 15, and the iOS build numbered 3.0.5 two days before the public launch on October 19.

Notably, the iOS build number 3.0.x signifies the product version, while Wabi 2.0 represents the product generation. The public launch happened after the invite-only phase, with Founder Eugenia Kuyda presenting it as the realization of the personal-agent concept she initially proposed at TechCrunch Disrupt in 2014. The story begins a year prior, when Wabi secured $20 million in seed funding from Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and launched the initial prompt-to-mini-app tool that later became the foundation for Wabi 2.0.
