"Wabi will enable users to create their own mini-apps without any coding. "It's a platform to discover, remix, and share, create mini apps for daily life," Kuyda said. "We'll tell a little bit more when we launch publicly. Right now, it's a very close private beta." Wabi is a 10-person team, Kuyda said, and plans to launch its product "soon." The idea for Wabi, a "personal software platform," led Kuyda to step away from Replika, she said."
"Kuyda continues to serve as Replika's founder and advisor. Dmytro Klochko, who had previously served as Replika's COO, succeeded her as its chief executive. Kuyda told Business Insider that she still holds a "creative role there" and is "deeply involved" with Replika. "It's my baby. I am the largest shareholder. It's definitely my life's work," she said. Replika has raised $11 million to date, according to PitchBook, and Klochko notes on LinkedIn that the service has more than 40 million users."
Eugenia Kuyda stepped down as Replika CEO earlier this year and launched Wabi, a new AI startup. Wabi will enable users to create mini-apps without coding and functions as a social platform for discovering, remixing, and sharing small apps for daily life. The company operates in a close private beta with a 10-person team and plans a public launch soon. Ludlow Ventures lists Wabi as a portfolio company, while funding details remain undisclosed. Kuyda remains Replika's founder and advisor while Dmytro Klochko became CEO. Replika has raised $11 million, claims more than 40 million users, faced a €5.6 million fine in Italy, and briefly removed then restored erotic messaging features.
