Overview
Wabi AI is a social platform where users create, share, and remix mini applications using natural-language prompts — positioned as a 'YouTube of apps.' Founded by Eugenia Kuyda (creator of Replika), Wabi aims to let non-developers build personal software for productivity, creativity, and social use. The company raised a $20M pre-seed round in November 2025 led by Andreessen Horowitz with angel participation from Naval Ravikant, Garry Tan, and Justin Kan per TechCrunch.

Competitive landscape
Edge: Kuyda's Replika track record in consumer AI companionship lends credibility for AI-native consumer products — plus a16z's $20M pre-seed signals category creation ambition beyond incumbents.
AI app generation is crowded (Replit, Cursor, GPTs). Wabi bets social distribution + non-developer UX is the missing layer — 'YouTube of apps' not 'IDE in browser.' Pre-product/pre-revenue at $20M pre-seed is conviction bet on Kuyda. Execution risk: quality/safety of user-generated apps at scale.
