这家名为 Wabi 的人工智能初创公司原本允许用户通过简单指令来构建应用程序,但随着像 Meta 的 Muse Instinct 这样的人工智能助手的需求激增,该公司正在对其业务方向进行轻微调整。本周,Wabi 宣布自己将转型为一种“人工智能助手”——不过这种助手仍然具备帮助用户完成各种任务的能力。
Wabi the AI startup that allowed anyone to use prompts to build apps is undergoing a slight pivot as demand for AI agents, like Meta’s Muse Instinct takes off. The company announced this week that Wabi is now becoming an AI messenger of sorts — but one that’s still capable of making apps to help you get things done.
Wabi 的创始人 Eugenia Kuyda 曾创立过另一家人工智能辅助工具公司 Replika。她将 Wabi 2.0(即该产品的新版本)描述为:“一个能够为你完成任务、并根据你的需求实时生成所需界面的个人助手”。Wabi 2.0 的核心功能是:为你和你的朋友创建应用程序,从而帮助你完成各种任务。
The startup’s founder Eugenia Kuyda, who previously founded the AI companion startup Replika, described Wabi 2.0, as the new experience is called, as a “personal agent that does stuff for you and builds the interface you need in the moment.”Introducing Wabi 2.0: a new kind of messenger that makes apps and gets things done for you and your friends.
“我们正在为这个‘智能助手时代’打造相应的操作系统——这种软件能够适应你的生活需求,帮助你完成各种任务,同时为真正重要的人和事物留出更多空间。”
We’re building the OS for the agentic era – software that adapts to your life, gets things done, and makes more room for the people and things that matter.
Wabi 2.0 的测试阶段仅限受邀用户参与,测试时间定于 2026 年 9 月 28 日。其核心价值主张与 Wabi 的早期版本相似,但用户的使用方式会有所不同:Wabi 2.0 并不试图与其他类似的应用工具竞争,而是直接与那些同时提供聊天功能与生产力工具的人工智能助手竞争。
Invite-only…September 28, 2026 It’s a similar value proposition to that offered by the original version of Wabi — but one that users will interact with in a different way. Instead of positioning itself up against other vibe-coding tools, Wabi 2.0 aims to compete more directly with AI agents that combine both conversations and productivity tasks in a single interface.
与此同时,OpenAI 等公司也在思考如何在更通用的聊天机器人用户界面中整合应用程序的功能。例如,OpenAI 在其开发者日(Dev Day)上宣布了对 ChatGPT 插件的更新,这些更新将允许应用程序在 ChatGPT 内提供交互式体验,同时应用程序的名称会在 ChatGPT 的侧边栏中以更显眼的方式显示。
It also comes as companies like OpenAI and others are thinking about how apps will work inside their more generalized chatbot user interfaces; for instance, OpenAI today announced at its Dev Day an update to ChatGPT’s plugins, which will allow apps to offer interactive experiences within ChatGPT, and where the app’s name gets pinned in a more visible spot on ChatGPT’s sidebar.
Kuyda 在一篇博客文章中解释说,Wabi 2.0 的新功能对消费者来说更加实用——因为消费者不再仅仅满足于通过文字与人工智能助手进行简单交流,他们希望获得更丰富、更高效的交互体验。
a post on Kudya explained how Wabi’s new experience will make more sense for consumers, who want to do more than just type to an agent.
“使用纯聊天式智能体的次数越多,体验反而越差。你的历史记录和正在进行的任务最终都会被埋没在一个无尽的滚动列表里。人们不想只是不停地打字打字打字;他们想点点点、滑滑滑、看看看。他们喜欢智能体能做的事,但也喜欢软件,”她写道。“最强大的智能体将是那个能将两者结合的。” 思路是,当用户要求智能体执行任务时,它可以按需创建一个用户界面,以帮助完成任何请求。
“The more you use a chat-only agent, the worse the experience gets. Your history and ongoing tasks end up buried in one endless scroll. People don’t just want to type-type-type; They want to tap-tap-tap, scroll, and look. They love what agents can do, but they also like software,” she wrote. “The most powerful agent will be the one that combines both.”The idea is that as a user asks the agent to perform a task, it could create a user interface on demand to help complete whatever the request may be.
例如,Kudya 建议用户可以构建卡路里追踪器、举重记录和体重追踪器等工具,这些都可以在她关于健康相关话题的线程中访问。
For instance, Kudya suggested users could build things like a calorie tracker, a weightlifting log, and a weight tracker, which would be accessible in her thread about health-related topics.
在另一个专注于家庭的线程中,用户可以创建孩子活动日历、语言学习应用、跟踪当地适合儿童活动的应用,以及其他与育儿、家庭管理或孩子兴趣相关的工具。
In another thread focused on family, users could create a calendar of the kids’ activities, a language learning app, an app that keeps up with local kid-friendly events, and other things that relate to parenting, household management, or the kids’ interests.
“到目前为止,个人智能体一直是一个人、一个聊天、一连串一次性任务。我们认为未来是你的智能体、你的应用和你的人脉在一个地方,共同运行生活中最重要的部分,”Kudya 写道。
“So far, personal agents have been one person, one chat, a stream of one-off tasks. We think the future is your agent, your apps, and your people in one place, running the parts of life that matter most, together,” wrote Kudya.
