Full definition
Replit Agent is Replit's browser-based autonomous coding agent. You describe an app in natural language; the agent scaffolds the repo, writes the code, provisions a database, deploys it to Replit's hosting, and hands you a live URL, all in the browser, no local setup. Positioned for non-engineers, founders, and rapid prototyping rather than for production engineering workflows. Competes with Bolt.new, Lovable, and v0 in the 'AI builds your app end-to-end' category. In 2026, Replit Agent integrates with the broader Replit IDE for hand-off when prototypes graduate to maintained projects.
