Wabi, an AI-powered app that helps users build mini apps, has raised $55 million in new funding and is now valued at $1.25 billion.
The company now describes Wabi as a personal agent, reflecting a broader shift toward AI systems that can take on practical tasks for users rather than simply answering questions.
Why it matters
