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. 00:00 Introduction 00:54 AI companions & personal software 14:17 Mini apps as community catalysts 19:07 Wabi as a framework for memory, context, and expression 23:11 Prompt sharing as an emergent user behavior 28:11 100x’ing the world’s meaningful software 30:21 The creator economy on Wabi 39:25 Visiting the OpenAI office 43:31 Predicting consumer behavior @ekuyda @illscience @venturetwins @eriktorenberg(a16z)
