Idle is a chat app built around widgets that lets your group chat do more than just talk. Because every group is different, so is every chat on Idle. Your rec softball team can add a calendar widget and a roster tracker. Your small business might need a shared Todo list widget or a place to share links. Your book club can create a poll or write in a shared notepad. And your neighborhood group can make announcements and add events to the board. In Idle, you never get features you didn’t ask for and you’re never missing the ones you need. WIDGES FOR ANY GROUP Every group has unique needs so only add the widgets that you need [Calendar] - Meetups, games, and sessions everyone can see at a glance [Events]- Post events with details and RSVPs so nothing slips through [Signup Sheets] - Keep tabs on attendance, scores, signups, or progress [Notepad]- Shared notes, lists, and agendas the whole group can edit [Paid Memberships] - Collect dues, fees, or contributions right inside the group [Polls] - Vote on the next book, the next date, the next anything [Announcements] - Pin the things that matter so they don't get buried New widgets are added regularly, so there's always more to choose from. CREATE YOUR OWN Need something that’s not off the shelf? Create your own custom one made just for your group. If your group has a need, your chat can meet it. SET THE VIBE Make the space feel like your group with custom wallpapers, your own emojis, and name tags. Idle Chat should feel like being in a friends’ living room, not the JPMorgan office.

Wabi is the AI assistant you use together. Get things done, stay ahead of everyday life, and do more with the people you care about. GET IT DONE Book the appointment. Handle the return. Find the refund. Research your options. Follow up on something you forgot. Tell Wabi what you want to happen and let it help take things from idea to done. DO MORE TOGETHER Bring your partner, family, friends, or coworkers into a Wabi chat. Plan dinner, coordinate the family calendar, organize a trip, pick a place, or make something together. Everyone can see the same plan and move it forward. STAY AHEAD OF LIFE Wabi is a proactive AI assistant that helps carry the mental load — noticing the things that need attention before you do. The school form buried in your email. The bill that quietly changed. The follow-up you forgot. Even a weekend idea you’d love but wouldn’t have thought to look for. THE RIGHT APP FOR THE MOMENT Sometimes the best answer isn’t another message. A family week can become a shared calendar, a trip a map and itinerary, a decision a vote, or a goal a tracker. Wabi makes the software the moment needs. FIND SOMETHING WORTH DOING Find something fun this weekend. Reconnect with someone you’ve been meaning to see. Turn saved places into a day out. Make a game for your group. Wabi can help you discover things you wouldn’t have thought to look for yourself. CONNECT YOUR LIFE Connect the apps and information you choose, including email, calendar, contacts, location, photos, health data, and other supported connections. The more useful context Wabi has, the less you have to explain. YOU’RE IN CONTROL You choose what Wabi can access. Wabi checks with you before important actions that require your approval, and you can disconnect connections whenever you want. Do more of what you want. Spend less time on what you have to.
