Replit
Replit is an agentic software creation platform that lets people build applications using natural-language prompts. Its Agent works through chat, takes feedback, and tests and revises code in a reflection loop, periodically using a browser to produce reports and address issues. Replit also provides a cloud development environment for coding and collaboration in a browser, with automatic package installation and built-in authentication, database, hosting, and monitoring. Users can make websites, mobile projects, designs, slides, animations, data visualizations, 3D projects, games, documents, and spreadsheets. The service offers more than 100 integrations, including OpenAI, Stripe, and Google Workspace. Starter is free with daily usage, but allows only one live published project and one background task at a time. Core costs $18.00 per month billed annually, while Pro costs $90.00 per month billed annually. Replit is available on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, and the web. Its mobile apps support building, sharing, and publishing web apps; native iOS app development uses the web version with Expo Go previews.
