Absolutely insane. This kind of tooling is the future. Prompt engineering feels like banging rocks together to get a solution, and tools like Cursor are really a stopgap to something like this. Ideally it would be great to deploy a Designer Agent, a Developer Agent, be able to log into their screens and see them cooking up based on requirements you've fed, 24/7 for pennies to the dollar. And if you can scale those agents automatically based on the requirements you've replaced the average website/app agency.

[@Lad1033]

Incredible...thank you Replit for making this affordable enough for beginners to experiment with

[@nickygood3342]

This is crazy cool 🤩 Can see the JOY in your smile and hear it in your voice. Just unreal.

[@nomaditsu]

This was awesome! Building artifacts in Claude was already insane but being able to deply the full app is bonkers. Can't wait to try it and will def cover it in a video on my channel. Cheers Replit team!

[@koen.mortier_fitchen]

What?! This is crazy. Coming from Cursor composer and V0, this has next level potential. I so love this. Thanks!!

[@blackholesun4942]

I am glad that it can also be used as a learning tool 👍

[@JackMack34532]

outstanding, was waiting for something like this my whole life

[@ColeSonMusic]

same

[@matthewoldham2836]

Amazing video! I'd love to see an explanation of how I integrate the guestbook into an existing project, for example add it to my Webflow site which I host on Netlify. I presume Chat GPT 4-o would walk me through that...

[@proflead]

Thanks for the video! The agent is awesome! :)

[@jackbyrnes3223]

Very nice looking workflow.

[@willim-j1u]

Thanks a lot..this is crazy the possibilities that it opens for those who are not programmers....🙂

[@GeraltGame]

Потрясающе только для тех кто раньше не занимался программированием, на деле он кодит очень лёгкие проекты, на самом деле отличие от обычного чата заключается в большей конкретизации роли (инструкции как работать, интерфейса). Ждём наводнения интернета мусорных проектов.

[@mr.cannon]

Great job. Keep up the hard work.

[@shubhankhiremath9574]

Insane 🙌

[@Pablo-px3ct]

Hi Matt - I am very excited for these new tools. What I don't get though is why the look of the apps is always so bad. I think it would be key to implement the newest UI libraries from common frameworks and let the AI parse recursively websites I point them to to recreate the UI exactly with great styling so I can tweak it from there. Given a browser interprets a website on my PC it should be possible to give a link to a well-designed webpage and have the AI replicate 1:1 the UI and then my input comes telling it how to implement the logic in the back end. I am not from a programming background, but I have a tons of websites I would like to replicate and where one should be able to do it with giving the AI a link. Like site copy tools they should then traverse the pages of the website and maybe with a login even the backend admin sections. Isn't this possible? Why do we need to give an AI an image so it interprets it and why can't we give it just a website link and it takes the styling and layout from there? Thanks for responding - it would be the ultimate unlock. You need to unclude all commin libraries like the stuff frol Laravel, Shadcn etc. The last unlock would be a seamless workflow between your agent and Cursor with Claude Sonnet and future frontier coding models, e.g. Sonnet 4.0. So once your agent set everything up, would be great to have a handover or dual workflow between externally working the codebase and within your agent system.

[@TheHowingFantods]

Exciting times.

[@MikePhirmanWatchables]

Incredible

[@galopeian]

Even without any of the AI features Replit is great software.

[@jardenbergTV]

Looks cool but I’m curious about the timestamps of the two different messages ;)

[@viacheslavsamodelkin6944]

Next you you spend 5 hours debugging this app.

[@MelroyvandenBerg]

@@viacheslavsamodelkin6944 haha true that.

[@MelroyvandenBerg]

I actually found a bug already.. If you wait for 1 minute, the messages are reloaded automatically in the guestbook. But instead of new to old messages, it will now be old to new. That is what you get if you use AI.

[@DavidJonathan10]

Great job Replit. Could I opt to deply the application somewhere else and not on replit after development?

[@picksilm]

I would also like to know this

[@tadahiro]

素晴らしい！！！！

[@ulrichdiedrichsen]

It’s really cool. I tried it on my own today, but it has issues with Installation of packages. After a while, it stops and I hit my rate limit. Overall, it’s a fantastic agent. Very good job.🎉

[@Arx9845]

@@ulrichdiedrichsen what is your rate limit?

[@ulrichdiedrichsen]

@ I am not using Replit anymore.

[@amalkalive544]

Can it access the web, docs and reference the specific files in the repo like Cursor does?

[@GregoryTKint]

Damn, I haven't coded since the 80's but this looks insane. I probably don't really need this but am so tempted to fork out for a year of Core... It takes away much of the complexity for newbies. Claude's artefacts are great but for a non-coder that just means that the code is kind of stuck within the Claude chat, this is a different ball game.

[@jayman02moviemaker]

other youtube reviews are horrible.

[@brainbuzzmarketing9858]

AMAZING!!

[@danielgannage8109]

This is incredible! I believe this has insane potential from what i’ve seen so far. I havnt seen the full abilities of agents yet and the depth that they can work with but i know AI will surprise me. But im curious if i want to implement this in the workflow of my current project right now. Can it create pipelines? Can it setup a docker image in that pipeline? Can it setup a kubernetes load balancer and SSL certificates along with https rerouting? Can i specify which languages i want for front end and backend? Can it work with react native, swift, kotlin? Can i setup a security layers, nginx reverse proxy, ip logging, redis cache, oauth2.0 flows, server side rendering, etc. These are the nuts and bolts that go into software used in production, so im curious if the agent can handle all that with just this text and a little feedback. It seems cursor can do this at levels i have never seen before, and this can do more than cursor from what i can tell. So im really just curious how far this would take us.

[@thelalomorales]

i love it so much

[@clebermendes807]

Do you think that a beginner in programming can use Replit to create a system that reads APIs (consuming data from public APIs) and returns simple reports, which is securely multi-user?

[@Apokalupsis88]

so, this is allowing us to no longer need to use Cursor AI Composer, and connect with SSH to Replit for mutli-file editing? And it is more powerful in that it can create the environment (db and other systems)? If so, pretty rad. *** EDIT *** No, so many errors it seems. Stuck on restarting Flask app when creating a simple chatbot with Anthropic api key.

[@luizcesarlc]

Of course, the idea now is to no longer need to connect to Cursor, although Cursor is excellent. Replit offers much more functionality, but was behind in the requirement for integration with LLMs. With the new feature, the Replit Agent, this limitation has been overcome. The only detail I still don't know is whether the Replit Agent uses Claude 3.5 Sonnet. If anyone knows, please answer me!

[@micbab-vg2mu]

@@luizcesarlc I can not find this info about it - it is crucial - the best option of Cursor is that you may switch between models. If Reptile use GPT4omini it is waist of my time.

[@luizcesarlc]

@@micbab-vg2mu Hello friend, how are you? I just found the information and yes they use Claude 3.5 Sonnet too, and you can change to GPT-4 which is advanced or Gemini 1.5 Flash which is the most basic.

[@MelroyvandenBerg]

wow OK impressive. I will go out of job.Nice :)

[@MelroyvandenBerg]

ow. not yet.. There is a bug in the guestbook. If you wait for ~1 minute, the guestbook is refreshing the content (the messages). However, after this automatic refresh the messages are in the wrong order (old to new, instead of new to old). hehe, bug found!

[@melvinjongen1697]

Not quite there yet but looks very promising 😎

[@nomaditsu]

What's missing in your opinion?

[@melvinjongen1697]

Building in react now its only in Python but as im saying its looking promising this is just the beginning :)

[@nomaditsu]

@@melvinjongen1697 thanks for the context. I'm a non coder so wouldn't know where the drawbacks are yet. Just looks like magic 😅

[@magnuselm3387]

Can you use replit with supabase?

[@AdiGoldsteinComposer]

Can the agent create Next.js projects?

[@corpusculus]

@@AdiGoldsteinComposer not at the moment. Only python

[@maciej2320]

Tried today. No.

[@paulminyukuo]

I try to use it to build a character generator for a webgame, i feel like the agent got stuck after i give it 10 commands, and stops understanding what i am going after, is a pretty cool way to start a project, but it probably still need a lot of human input to get finish the job

[@jbssfl]

So one potential concern is what kind of security standards are baked into all this?

[@christravels22]

So I can build something and deploy it directly to my WordPress site??

[@boardsontt1756]

Very bugy, but when it works it freaking works!!!!!

[@MelroyvandenBerg]

I actually found a bug already.. If you wait for 1 minute, the messages are reloaded automatically in the guestbook. But instead of new to old messages, it will now be old to new. That is what you get if you use AI.

[@mpty2022]

i wonder if its using gpt 4 or o1 model

[@tiffanyw3794]

So if I pay the monthly fee how much more will I have to pay for someone to use my app

[@7heMech]

Where can I sign up early access?

[@replit]

Just sign up for Replit Core and you'll have access

[@ColeSonMusic]

and how do ypu put it online with the domain?

[@ItsaSimDrive]

so this don't handle stuff like authentication and email verification and stuff like that i still would have to use something like supabase for backend?

[@fodiographer]

Can I use Replit to make applications without any coding skills at all?

[@hymn0711]

Can I check Korean coding AI?

[@chanrox69]

Anyone purchased this Ai agent ? What's your experience like ?

[@ismetdere]

This was long coming... now wait for the the day when an AI builds an OS for you. also, will be interesting to see that AI creates a better programming language for its self use.

[@swatantra26]

I am more worried about first time setup for servers,VM, DB's , external integrations like Stripe ,, google auth as complete begineer..So you might want to lower the bar of entry but without giving a good insight and guidance about all things extra - rootcause is still not solved.. A real tool would be one which gives not only great view and explanation of what it is doing but mind map /popup or some sort of info about extra's.

[@marcusdelictus]

dang your glasses are way too high

[@AdrianRosarioPR]

its cool but right now it just does flask. Overall tho for what I can see today is very impressive.

[@tencizinec9583]

Lasted 48 hours until i ran out of c credits because it got into a loop. Disappointing.

[@blackholesun4942]

Can you explain more?

[@GeraltGame]

​@@blackholesun4942most likely this is because the model starts to hallucinate and produce unnecessary results, burning up the limits

[@LunarEditsST]

now only 3 replies for free, what a joke

[@libertycreativity]

it is awesome and really good features but plzz the limitation i am encoutering now because of usage so how to have it full usage plz . i am blocked now coz date wanted to do a shout out but also blocked on x so how to get usage thx thats my username there too thxxxxxxxxx it incredidible this features really so plz thx
