Replika创始人推出12年前构想的AI助手新版本

Eugenia Kuyda在12年前的TechCrunch Disrupt大会上首次展示了对话型AI助手IO，这款产品定位为生活方式管家型聊天机器人1。如今，离开Replika的Kuyda创办的新公司Wabi正式推出2.0版本，将这一早期构想发展为支持多线程和多人协作的个人AI助手平台1。

Wabi 2.0的核心创新在于解决单线程AI对话的局限性1。用户可以在不同对话线程中维护针对特定任务的独立应用，平台会自动为不同任务生成相应的AI应用1。Kuyda指出，单线程AI对话体验"随着时间推移会变差，因为在一个无尽的对话中上下文太多"1。新版本还支持线程共享和群聊功能1。

Wabi已获得2000万美元pre-seed融资1，目前向用户免费提供服务1。该平台符合SOC 2标准，大部分用户数据存储在美国1。公司正在筹划获取更多融资1。

Eugenia Kuyda has brought to life an AI assistant concept she first presented at TechCrunch Disrupt over a decade ago.1 Kuyda introduced IO, a lifestyle management chatbot, at that conference, and her company eventually evolved into Replika.1 After departing Replika last year, Kuyda founded Wabi, which has now released version 2.0 of a personal AI assistant platform designed to address fundamental limitations of traditional single-threaded conversations.1

The new platform represents a significant departure from conventional AI chat interfaces by supporting multiple conversation threads and collaborative features.1 Users can maintain separate dialogue threads for specific tasks, with the system automatically generating tailored applications for different purposes.1 Wabi also enables thread sharing and group chat functionality.1 According to Kuyda, single-threaded AI conversations deteriorate over time because "context gets too much in one endless conversation."1 The multithreaded architecture aims to resolve issues of long-term context loss and hallucination that plague continuous dialogue sessions.1

Wabi has secured $20 million in pre-seed funding and currently operates as a free platform while the company pursues additional financing.1 The service complies with SOC 2 standards, with most user data stored in the United States.1
