Episode 1 · Wabi 2.0 launches: personal agents go multi-user (2026-10-20, 22 posts)

Replika co-founder and Wabi founder Eugenia Kuyda announced Wabi 2.0, now open to all users, evolving the product from a traditional one-person, one-chat personal agent into an agent that multiple people can use together — a directional bet on turning personal agents from private assistants into family and group collaboration infrastructure.

Confirmed

  • Wabi 2.0's core form is a multi-user shared thread: users talk with the agent in one thread, and partners, friends, or kindergarten parent groups can all join; results sync to everyone.
  • The agent executes tasks in conversation — booking tickets, planning trips, updating calendars — and builds needed mini-apps on the fly.
  • Official example: when a school changes pickup time, Wabi updates the family calendar, visible to all.
  • CEO Eugenia Kuyda's industry thesis: the next consumer AI platform will be multi-person collaboration rather than single-user agents.

Why it matters

  • The team and many reposters argue that important things in life involve more than one person, while existing AI assistants are all single-person, single-chat — Wabi's shared-thread model directly addresses this gap.
  • illscience (via @joonasvirtanen) framed two bets: agents entering human group chats require a new social contract, which a standalone app lets users establish from day one in an "agent-present" context; and the combination of agents with rich mini-apps is itself a bet on product form.
  • Market reaction: a Zuckerberg meme about users canceling Muse subscriptions to switch to Wabi circulated; some reposters contrasted its direction with Tolan's; others liked pairing it with Notion; squawk also signaled approval.
  • The combo of a shared multi-user agent plus on-demand generated mini-apps pushes agents toward family and group infrastructure — if the direction holds, it could shape the default form of future consumer AI products.
