About Replit
Replit combines a cloud IDE with an AI agent (Replit Agent) that can build entire apps from natural language prompts. Unlike pure code assistants, Replit handles the full lifecycle: writing code, installing dependencies, setting up databases, and deploying to the cloud — all in one place. The AI Agent plans your project, creates multiple files, and iterates on errors autonomously. Ghostwriter provides real-time code completion. The Core plan ($25/mo) gives you full agent access, live deployment, and custom domains. It's ideal for solopreneurs who want to prototype and ship without managing infrastructure.
