Wabi Raises $55M for an AI Assistant Built for Groups
San Francisco – October 29, 2026 -- Wabi, a personal AI assistant designed for couples, families and friends to use together, has raised $55 million at a $1.25 billion valuation, with apps available now on iOS, Android and Mac.
IVP led the round. Andreessen (a16z), Forerunner and Amazon Alexa Fund also took part, along with angels and founders including Tobi Lütke, Marc Benioff, Marissa Mayer, Dick Costolo and Alex Pall. The company says the money will go toward product development and expansion.
Wabi targets groups instead of one person in one chat
Wabi comes from Eugenia Kuyda, who previously founded the AI companion platform Replika. Most AI assistants are built for a single person typing into a single chat. Wabi is built around people doing things together: a book club planning a themed night, a running group choosing a weekend route, or a family sharing the load of running a household.
