Replit is a cloud development environment with an AI agent capable of writing code, building, and deploying complete applications. It is suitable for rapid prototyping, learning programming, and building applications without local setup.
Initialize a New Repl with Agent
Start a new project and select Agent mode instead of creating from a manual template.
Click Create Repl, select Agent mode, enter the application description you need to build (for example: 'appointment scheduling app for a hair salon').
The more detailed the description about functionality and target users, the more accurately Agent will build the initial structure.
View and Review the Build Plan
Agent will propose a plan of steps to follow before starting to code.
Carefully read the plan proposed by Agent, modify requirements if important functionalities are missing before clicking confirm.
Ask Agent to clarify if the initial description is still vague to avoid it making incorrect assumptions.
Monitor the Build Process and Preview
Watch Agent write code, install libraries, and run the application in a live preview.
Keep an eye on the preview window on the right side of the screen, interact with the application as soon as Agent reports a part is complete.
Test the main flows (registration, scheduling) directly in the preview before requesting additional features.
Request Edits with the Next Prompt
Refine the interface or logic by continuing to chat with Agent.
Enter specific edit requests such as 'add email confirmation when scheduling is successful', and Agent will automatically update the relevant code.
Request each small change individually rather than grouping many large requests to make it easier to control the outcome.
Deploy the Application
Put the application online so real users can access it.
Click the Deploy button, choose the appropriate type of deployment (Autoscale or Static), and confirm to receive a public link.
Check the environment variables (secrets) again before deploying to avoid exposing API keys in the public version.

Pros
Cons
An online fashion shop owner wants to create a landing page to take orders for a new collection but lacks programming skills and does not have the budget to hire a developer.
Problem
Hiring an agency to create the landing page costs 5-8 million VND and takes a week, while the campaign needs to launch urgently in 2 days.
Solution
Use Replit Agent to describe the requirements for the landing page and order form, allowing the Agent to build the interface, handle the form, and deploy it directly to the internet.
A product team wants to quickly validate the idea of an internal inventory management tool before deciding to officially invest in development.
Problem
Requesting official dev resources to create a prototype takes weeks to get prioritized, slowing down the investment decision-making process.
Solution
Use Replit Agent to quickly create an MVP of the inventory management tool with basic functionalities for internal testing before presenting to management.
