What we like

Build, run and deploy apps from the browser
AI agent can create apps from plain-language prompts
Users can choose between supported AI models

Watch out for

AI-generated apps still need review and testing
Default model providers can change, which may change behavior

Replit is a cloud-based development environment where users write, run and deploy software directly in the browser. Its AI assistant, Replit Agent, builds applications from natural-language descriptions, which has made the platform popular for prototyping and for people who do not code professionally.

Models

Replit describes itself as model agnostic. In October 2026, CEO Amjad Masad said that OpenAI models had become the default behind Replit Agent while Anthropic’s Claude models remain selectable by users; see our news story on Replit making OpenAI its default. Pricing and plan details change, so check the company’s pricing page.
