replit ai

Overview
Replit (formerly Repl.it) is an AI-powered software creation platform and cloud-based IDE that empowers anyone to bring their digital ideas to life without technical barriers. Founded in 2016 by Amjad Masad, Faris Masad, and Haya Odeh, it's built on the belief that software creation should be accessible to everyone, not just programmers. Replit provides a full-stack solution that eliminates barriers between imagination and implementation with intuitive tools, Replit Agent (an AI agent for automating software development), Ghostwriter AI coding assistant, and multiplayer collaboration. The platform lets users create mobile and web apps, landing pages, websites, slides, videos, data dashboards, and more in one project with shared design — all by describing what they want in natural language. With built-in authentication, database, hosting, monitoring, and 100+ integrations (OpenAI, Stripe, Google Workspace, etc.), it's trusted by 50 million creators worldwide. In July 2025, Replit partnered with Microsoft to integrate with Azure cloud infrastructure and make services available via Azure Marketplace.
