Build and deploy apps without code: getting started with Agent and Assistant.

[@504_HotBoy]

75% of my credits went to error feedback loops - can we not be charged when there are deployments with errors?

[@Dope_ET]

to same

[@clashcon11]

Ok, this is the issue of this product, I see.

[@GamerUK]

@@504_HotBoy thank God for this comment I was about to pay

[@DaltonO7c]

Same!!! Wtf….Customer Service didnt help shit

[@acs2777]

He does not dare answer on this 😂

[@elmerjohnston8118]

I'm Reilly liking what I'm seeing now, some major improvements

[@ali.haschimi2024]

Hi Matt, danke für deinen tollen Beitrag! Er ist wirklich sehr hilfreich, um eine einfache App zu erstellen. 🙂👍👏

[@awkward_andyy]

Thanks Matt, these videos are really helpful. Since you asked for feedback, it would be really useful to see how you’d recommend going about fixing something when it doesn’t work. Maybe a framework or checklist that can help us identify what is going wrong and approaches to fixing it. E.g. Incorporating APIs to the app always gives me lots of trouble

[@yasin6904]

I've found that giving Claude or ChatGpt 4o the project files zipped along with info on the issue has helped in these scenarios

[@mattpalmer]

@@awkward_andyy love this, thanks

[@MinimotorsUnitedKingdom]

You can use Replit Assistant for logic tasks like highlighting a cell in a specific color if it has the lowest value in a column, when working with table displays or data scraping. Always mention exactly the name of the section or module where you want the code changes. Screenshots don't help it much. Do improve and detail your prompt using Chat GPT 4o before prompting replit. I find it faster, more helpful, more precise.

[@rosariosway]

This is great! I love it!

[@KeyserTheRedBeard]

Impressive video, Replit. Looking forward to your next upload from you. I smashed that thumbs up button on your content. Keep up the fantastic work! Your demonstration of building an app from scratch using AI tools was enlightening. How do you see the integration of AI in app development evolving in the next few years, especially in terms of user experience and accessibility?

[@jesuslopez6873]

that was freaking amazing

[@KaneTenana]

I'm a new replit agent user, core member. I love the agent and am building my first project with zero xp. I have been disconnected multiple times for billing issues, which ruined my repl forcing a restart. Please consider giving users a grace period to pay to avoid disconnection. Or allow us to "fund my account"

[@elmerjohnston8118]

My worie is that I drop $50 into my account to get all my software issues fixed and after the 50 is used up, none or next to none of the issues got fixed.

[@KaneTenana]

@elmerjohnston8118 agreed. Must be careful not to use ALL credits. Hopefully Devs make safer

[@peterschuch894]

Great video! What software did you use to record the tutorial in that style? Cheers

[@sirrobinhood3409]

Very nice Thanks! Quick questions. Who owns the code that is generated by your agent? i,e Can I claim this as my own intellectual property? Additionally if I decide to host on my own platform, in general is this a matter of changing the CI/CD pipeline, env vars & deployment scripts and theoretically it should still work? Thanks in Advance!

[@kamransanaee4196]

Switching between Agent and Assistant and determining when to use each is frustrating. I wish the system could automatically assign the request to the appropriate one based on the prompt.

[@KaneTenana]

@@kamransanaee4196 agreed. Or at least make the limitations of the assistant more obvious

[@tresComasInvesting]

+1

[@KCSMILEY816]

On your next video can you guys talk about membership and pricing. To be able to deploy you have to pay the subscription.

[@wolfganggrojcig2528]

Does the free version allow you to interact with the AI this way? Like tell it to build something for you from scratch?

[@MinimotorsUnitedKingdom]

When both Agent and Assistant are open, do they both see error logs simultaneously ?

[@DomestiqueJarvis]

Does Replit Agent support email services like SendGrid, Amazon SES, or Gmail SMTP? I want to build an app with user registration.

[@KaneTenana]

@@DomestiqueJarvis I think it does

[@DomestiqueJarvis]

@@KaneTenana I was able to include Gmail SMTP service as part of user authentication. The agent did great job helping me with setup. I have no experience with authentication service, and once I told Replit agent about it, it was able to walk me thru the steps as it was building it.

[@FirasAlOtaibi]

I was about to write the same, the errors are endless, and the Agent is not even adjusting small errors so I had to redo the whole thing again, and guess what I got the same errors again!

[@tresComasInvesting]

curious how many credits were used in the cat creation app?

[@peterbsims]

How can we deploy using our own domain?

[@mattpalmer]

@@peterbsims good idea for a tutorial!

[@Dope_ET]

How do I upload my images that I need for the product?

[@xuamox]

Very cool product but error loops and changing code you didn’t want changed are definitely an ongoing issue. A more ethical billing approach would be to only bill when the user saves a version that actually works. Right now it feels like we are being billed for a spellcheck function that doesn’t know how to spell. Customer service also needs to improve! Support quickly bumps your ticket up to their techs and then you never hear back. The potential is here, but the agent needs work and we are literally paying the price for the flaws!

[@KaneTenana]

Also how to submit my project to replit comp?

[@RaviTank1309]

Hi Matt. Replit has been a game changer for me as I built a fully fledged software from scratch based on client requirements and not generally available features. There is a thing of hallucination and aggressive codebase changes that affects the ability to work with it and give instructions and making it follow. Also, it is slower in editing files when it is a new agent chat. Any tips?

[@504_HotBoy]

Same here. I think this is in relation to error feedback loops. Whenever this happens after Replit saying it fixed the error and keeps doing the same thing over and over saying it is fixed - I give it specific instructions (sometimes even the solution) and just keeps with the hallucinations.

[@Boorabee]

It’s all very good but it is also still really complicated I can’t even get it to start to build a basic app. Another issues is I can’t get any real help going to a community forum is not the best way as there are a lot of people on forums that don’t give the best advice. It all looks like you still need to be a developer to use it. It’s not user friendly at all. I admit I have not read everything but I’m not completely dumb I should be able to generate some kind on basic app but the create app button isn’t even lit up.

[@mattpalmer]

1. You can do exactly what I just did in this video. 2. I hear you on the community piece, we’re working on it.

[@yasin6904]

Replit is incredible but your subscription/credits info is really unclear as to how it really works. You guys have an incredible tool for noobs but haven't presented pricing/cost information that they'd understand.

[@9historytime]

it has become very expensive especially when I get errors to solve

[@izitestio]

But why we show the code if there is no need to code ? 🙂

[@marianfreex]

a lot of credits go to solving errors, I've been using the platform for 2 months and I'm quite satisfied, but lately the cost of errors has increased a lot

[@Boorabee]

I mean the start building button isn’t not lit up so not sure how that works meaning I can’t even use it. I’m sure your great developers but I’m not it’s still not user friendly as most things these days. For example windows 9 was good then when they bought out windows 10 they made everyone click an extra 2 or 3 times more. Making things user friendly is a thing of the past so it would seem. Also having to sign up to another thing like stack overflow is just another thing to sign up to it never ends. Please look at making it user friendly.

[@JorAsh2025]

Need wayyy more uses per month. 100 agent checkpoints is not enough for the price

[@alexag782]

its work for snake game but not something serious
