Replika founder launches Wabi 2.0 with multi-threaded AI assistants

Eugenia Kuyda, founder of Replika, has launched Wabi 2.0, a personal AI assistant that functions as a messenger app. This new version allows users to maintain multiple agentic threads for different tasks and goals, with the AI agent deciding which apps to build within those threads.
