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.
