After Cursor, another newcomer in the programming world has become popular.
It is the intelligent entity Replit Agent launched by AI startup Replit .
With it, the way to open programming has become like this:
Development environment, code writing, software package installation, database configuration, deployment, etc. are all automated!
And the operation is also extremely simple, just one action of raising a prompt is enough:

CEO introduces Replit Agent
It is not difficult to see that Replit Agent not only focuses on programming, but also takes into account various key aspects of the development process.
Therefore, now developing an APP can be calculated in minutes :
-
Create an APP on your phone in 2 minutes
-
2 minutes 43 seconds, create a game similar to Wordle
-
4 minutes to build a website for submitting vulnerabilities
-
Create an LLM application and deploy it online in 5 minutes
Moreover, the above cases are all those that netizens have personally tested and found to be effective.
Just as netizens exclaimed "crazy" after watching it, the introduction video released by CEO Amjad Masad has received over 8,000 likes .
Even Musk came to watch, of course, to ask questions:
It's not enough to write a good video game (yet).
But Amjad Masad also said in the introduction video that Replit Agent is still in the early access stage and there is still room for improvement.
So let’s continue to look at how Replit Agent automatically builds apps in minutes.
Create an APP on your phone in 2 minutes
The most exciting thing about Replit Agent is that you can create an APP on your mobile phone.
We just need to download the Replit app on our mobile phone to start operating.
After opening the Replit app, the entry is at the top of the "Create" interface - Start with AI :
Netizen Mckay Wrigley personally tested it.
He clicked on “Start with AI” and simply pasted a prompt (create a coupon generator) into the input box:
Then Replit Agent automatically started writing code, configuring, and deploying, and the speed was so fast that he kept saying “So Amazing”:
Even if the final result is wrong, we can use natural language to tell Replit Agent where the problem is, and then the AI will automatically process it again according to your prompts until the problem is solved.
McKay Wrigley gave this comment after the experience:
AGI in internal tools.
The whole process takes less than 5 minutes .
Another netizen named Haider. shared his process of creating a complete APP on his mobile phone in 2 minutes :
One netizen even claimed that he created the app using Replit Agent while taking the bus .
Of course, Replit Agent can also be operated on a computer.
For example, someone used this AI to make a crossword puzzle similar to Wordle in just 2 minutes and 43 seconds :
There is even a netizen who has never written a line of code in his life, who even used Replit Agent to create a 3D platform game!
In short, with Replit Agent, developing an APP seems to be just a matter of having an idea.
Just as one netizen realized his dream of developing an application 15 years ago in less than 15 minutes through Replit Agent.
There is also a company created in 1 hour using AI
I have to say that the AI programming track is really hot this year.
First was Devin , the AI programmer who became popular at the beginning of the year , then Genie powered by GPT-4o , and Cursor, the top-tier one not long ago .
Nowadays, Replit Agent not only involves programming, but also packages the entire development process.
Just recently, someone even used these AIGC tools to build a startup in just 1 hour !
The team that did this consisted of only two people: CEO Greg Isenberg, who focuses on entrepreneurship coaching, and well-known blogger Riley Brown.
It took them a total of 67 minutes, and Riley Brown didn't even have any engineering background.
The AI tools they used included v0, Cursor, Claude, and Replit.
Specifically, they implemented the following features:
-
Build complex application architectures using descriptive natural language
-
Use AI programming tools to automatically write elegant UIs. AI will interpret error messages and generate code like an experienced Stack Overflow expert
-
Quickly combine various AI functions to solve various publicity, financial, and management problems in entrepreneurship in real time
Greg even claimed:
We are in an age where “not understanding technology” is no longer an excuse. If you can talk, you are an engineer.
Here’s how they livestreamed the process of building a startup using AI tools:
The video is quite long. For your convenience, we have compiled a rough outline of the video content:
Finally, the link to Replit Agent is provided below. Friends who have the idea of developing an APP can go and try it out.
