Meet the Replit Agent

today AI is so powerful that anyone can write code but making apps is more than just writing code you need to be able to set up a development environment install dependencies and configure databases once you're done with all of that you need to figure out how to share it with the world well it's time to change that my name is amjed mad I'm the CEO of repet and today we're announcing repet agent in Early Access this is actually a prompt from a Ted AI talk I gave about 10 months ago about agents we didn't have

the product back then but now let's test the real product with the same with the same prompt make an app of local landmarks based on my location the agent uh presented me with a plan if this plan is fully editable um I just want to add the ability to search one of the cool things about the progress pane is that you can learn what it's doing so we don't want this ever to be uh sort of obscuring uh what the agent is doing it should be fully transparent this could also be a great way to

learn how to build things because the agent is sort of explaining itself as it's doing it that's the app see that's exactly the kind of landmarks I would expect to see in Foster City where we are recording this from it's awesome and so here you can give it feedback you can iterate with it you can give it more features but I'll just say yes it looks great cuz it works it's exactly what I asked for and now the agent will we'll move to the next step and the next step uh is adding search we spent

a lot of time uh building the plumbing for this a lot of what the agent is doing it's actually doing the same kind of actions that you would do in the ID it's editing the code in a similar way that you would edit it it's installing dependencies using the same tools that we Expos to users so all the UI that you see in in the repet you know and love uh is exposed to the agent so the agent is sort of a multiplier user in the same uh same environment we're about to deploy to the

cloud and when we deploy this app there's there's no difference between what we built here you don't have to configure a server you don't have to do any of you don't have to configure a database all of that is configured for you when I had this idea I had it when I was traveling uh and that happened on my phone and actually I can start the project on my phone I actually finish the project on my phone as well anytime you have an idea it doesn't have to be this fleeting idea you can just just

you can just put it into repet and I'll start making it for you and then you know we got this initial prototype but I can also go and browse the code myself uh I can use uh you know repats llms or you can use your favorite llm the code is all yours it's there um and um uh and you can continue using the agent you can switch to repet AI you can do whatever you want with it you have full authority over the code that the agent just uh just created and there you have it

uh repet agent created a repple configured the python environment installed dependencies wrote the code all in two minutes and we got an app running that we were able to deploy to the cloud and now anyone can use it so this is repet Agent it's available in Early Access uh and would love your feedback thank you
