Replit Agent

What it is for

Replit Agent is Replit’s in-browser builder: you describe an app, it writes a task plan, then implements the checklist (see the official Task plans cover). Use it when the job is an idea → hosted app, not when you need a local VS Code fork.

It is not open source. Free Mode exists. Core and Pro add Agent hours and model budget.

What makes it unique: the Agent UI is a shareable plan plus Accept tasks — not a blank repo.

Key features

• Task plans — proposed roadmap, tasks, and Accept / Revise (cover).
• Plan vs build — Agent writes the checklist before it edits files (docs).
• Browser workspace — preview, console, and Publish in the same tab.
• Free Mode — chat/create hours and project caps on the public pricing cards.
• Model budget — Core/Pro include dollars toward more powerful models.

Who it's for

Best fit: founders and students who want Agent to plan and ship a small app without installing an IDE.

Poor fit: teams that must keep code off Replit’s cloud, or engineers who want a desktop Agent (Cursor).
