Wabi Is Building Personalized Software for Everyone
In a recent report from OpenAI, almost 80% of ChatGPT usage was for practical guidance, seeking information, and writing. AI usage shouldn’t be limited to search and writing. At @wabi, Eugenia Kuyda is building a new kind of AI interface so that anyone can create and share personalized AI-generated software.
Eugenia joined a16z’s Anish Acharya, Justine Moore, and Erik Torenberg to explain why we’re still in the MS-DOS era of AI, how mini apps could change the way we interact with AI, how she started building AI products in 2012 and never stopped, and what she saw in her conversations with the early OpenAI team.
