Tue, Sep 2, 2025Agent is now available to build apps with any framework
We are excited to announce that Replit Agent is now available to assist in building apps across all development frameworks. This allows more advanced users to be able to build with the Agent with the framework of their choice. Why does this matter? Until now, using Replit Agent meant choosing between two paths: Start with one of our curated app types. For example, HTML, CSS, React, ShadCN UI, built to work seamlessly with Agent. Or go fully custom—without Agent support.
Fri, Aug 29, 2025How PMs Build Fintech Prototypes with Replit + Plaid
Bringing a new product idea to life often depends on resources that aren’t always readily available, like engineering time, staging environments, or internal tooling. But with the rise of software creation platforms like Replit, product managers now have more accessible ways to prototype working integrations on their own. When combined with Plaid’s APIs, these tools make it possible to build and share working demos often in just 30 minutes. Whether you’re building a better onboarding experience or a streamlined loan application process, testing a new anti-fraud product, or exploring how to integrate account-level insights, prototyping with Plaid and Replit Agent makes it easy to validate ideas, get internal buy-in, and gather real-world feedback without engineering resources. Why prototyping matters more than ever for PMs As a product manager, your best ideas often live at the intersection of customer insight and product intuition. But moving from a hypothesis to something stakeholders can see and click on often means waiting on design or engineering resources. Rapid prototyping flips this script. When you can show, not just tell, how your product idea might work with a Plaid integration, you accelerate alignment, sharpen product decisions, and unlock better feedback from both internal teams and customers.

No hunting for icons, no guessing hex codes, no fumbling through design software. You can now go from idea → image → integrated asset in seconds. Just tell Agent what you want. No Photoshop? No problem. Here’s the vibe:
Wed, Aug 13, 2025Introducing App Storage – building apps with images, video, and PDFs just got easier
Introducing App Storage – building apps with images, video, and PDFs just got easier Today we're excited to announce App Storage, Replit's built-in object storage solution. App Storage simplifies hosting and saving uploads such as images, videos, and documents directly within your application. While object storage was released last year, we've renamed it to App Storage to highlight Agent's new capability for seamless setup. What you get with App Storage Robust storage for your Agent-built apps — store large files like images, videos, and documents. Auth + Database connected: per‑user permissions and a database table for file details (owner, type, size), ready to reference from your app’s entities.
Tue, Jul 29, 2025Doubling down on our commitment to secure vibe coding
We are excited to share that we have recently launched a series of features that demonstrate our continued commitment to making Replit the safest place for Vibe Coding for everyone. Here is a recap of key features that exist today (and what’s launching soon) to ensure our users have a safe vibe coding experience: Checkpoints & rollbacks Replit has a checkpoint and rollback system that provides comprehensive version control and state management for users’ entire development environment. When you use Replit Agent, checkpoints automatically capture your complete project state. This includes not just your code changes, but workspace contents, AI conversation context, and data in your connected databases. Rollback functionality allows you to restore your Replit App to any previous checkpoint state with a click. With Replit, you never have to worry about losing your work.
Tue, Jul 22, 2025Introducing Queue: A smarter way to work with Agent
Today, we’re excited to introduce Queue, a new capability designed to enhance the core Replit Agent experience. Queue allows users to submit multiple requests while the agent is actively working on a task, ensuring a continuous, uninterrupted app creation flow. As each task is completed, the agent automatically moves on to the next in the queue—no more waiting, switching context, or losing ideas. This launch is part of Replit's broader commitment to simplify project planning during app development. Together with the new creation UX, replit.md, and now Queue, we aim to make Replit Agent more consistent and reliable in building an app aligned with your vision. Why We Built Queue In observing how Replit builders interact with Replit Agent, we identified a common pattern: You run your app, get a flash of inspiration, and instantly think of three more things to tweak or explore.
Mon, Jul 21, 2025Introducing a safer way to Vibe Code with Replit Databases
Until now, Replit apps used a single database for both development and live customer data, making it challenging to safely test and deploy updates. We're excited to announce the launch of separate development and production databases for Replit apps, making it safer to vibe code with Replit. Users can now iterate with their app using a development database, while storing live customer data in their production Database. Starting today, we’re rolling out this feature in Beta for new Replit apps — gradually reaching all Replit users and apps over the next few weeks. With this update, Replit apps can now maintain separate development and production databases, making it easier to build safely and deploy with confidence. In the coming weeks, we’ll automatically migrate existing Replit apps to use separate development and production databases. No user action required. This is the next step in making Vibe Coding even more secure on Replit. This feature adds to other security enhancing features for databases users already have access to like Point-in-time Restore that allow users to securely rollback any changes to their databases. Users will be able to review and manage both their production & development databases within the Replit workspace.
Wed, Jul 16, 2025Introducing Domain Purchasing on Replit
Today, we're excited to announce the launch of Domain Purchasing on Replit. With this new feature, you can now search, purchase, and configure custom domains for your apps directly within the Replit platform—eliminating the need to use external domain registrars and simplifying the process of making your apps accessible online. These features make it easy to get started: Fast Domain search: Quickly find available domains that match your project or brand name One-click purchase: Buy domains in just a few clicks without leaving your Replit workspace Instant configuration: Automatically configure DNS settings to point to your Replit App.
Mon, Jul 14, 2025Introducing Web Search for Replit Agent: Your Smart App Creation Partner
Introducing Web Search for Replit Agent We're excited to announce a major enhancement to Replit Agent: Web Search capabilities. Replit Agent already has the powerful ability to screenshot live sites and read code and content you attach, include, or screenshot. Today, we're further extending these capabilities—transforming Agent into an even more autonomous app creation partner by allowing it to conduct live, contextual web searches to help bring your ideas to life. Building on a strong foundation Replit Agent has always been your creative companion in turning ideas into reality. With abilities to screenshot websites, understand visual references from screenshots, and read code and content you attach or include, Agent has helped countless creators build their dream applications without needing to understand complex technical details.
Sat, Jul 12, 2025Effort-Based Pricing Recap
On June 18th, we enabled a new pricing feature called Effort-Based Pricing for all newly signed up Replit users. After monitoring usage for two weeks, we began rolling this feature out to the remaining users last week on July 2nd. In this post, we would like to share more about the rationale for the change, what we have observed so far, address some of our users’ concerns, and share how we are continuing to improve pricing. We are confident that the new Effort-Based pricing is the model that will best serve our users and enable more powerful AI tools to Replit members, however the transition to the new pricing model did not meet our standards for how we like to roll out major changes (we will discuss some examples of areas where we fell short). Therefore, we would like to offer $10 in free Replit credits to all Replit members who used the new pricing model as a way to show that we appreciate your feedback and your patience during this transition. This will automatically be applied to all active accounts that have used the new pricing model. There is nothing that users need to do to claim this credit. July 11th Incident: One example of where we fell short in our rollout of the pricing happened on July 11th between the hours of 11:26AM PDT - 5:43PM PDT. During this time, and due to an error in cost calculation, Replit checkpoint charges were being incorrectly computed and were often much larger than they should have been. After 5:43PM the fix was rolled out to production. This impacted approximately 6% of paying users. We have performed a thorough incident analysis, ensured that all charges related to the incident are refunded/credited, and have applied additional guardrails to make sure that this doesn’t happen again. We apologize for this July 11th incident and we thank our community members for helping us identify this issue. We were able to determine exactly who was impacted, by how much, and will automatically issue refunds or credits to any user that was impacted by this error. There is nothing that these users need to do to initiate the refund. The total cost of all impacted checkpoints will be reimbursed. Impacted users will also receive an email explaining what has happened. These refunds will be in addition to the additional $10 in credits that we are offering to all active Replit members who have been using the new Effort-Based Pricing.
Tue, Jul 1, 2025Introducing Dynamic Intelligence for Replit Agent
Today, we're excited to introduce three new capabilities that bring Dynamic Intelligence to Replit Agent. With this advancement, the Agent gains enhanced context awareness, iterative reasoning, and autonomous, goal-driven behavior—enabling it to adapt in real time, navigate complex tasks, and deliver complete solutions with minimal guidance. These three new capabilities are: Extended thinking: Instructs the Agent to slow down and think more deeply, producing more thorough solutions—while showing parts of its step-by-step reasoning before giving the final result. High power model: Increases the Agent’s accuracy by using a more capable AI model Web Search: Enables the Agent to perform intelligent web searches based on your request to fill knowledge gaps
Wed, Jun 18, 2025Introducing Effort-Based Pricing for Replit Agent
We’re updating how pricing works for Replit Agent to better reflect the effort—measured in terms of time and computation—the Agent uses to fulfill each request. Previously, the Agent charged $0.25 per checkpoint. This meant small edits would cost $0.25, while larger tasks could trigger multiple $0.25 checkpoints. With our new Effort-Based pricing model, simple changes still result in a single checkpoint—typically costing less than $0.25. Larger or more complex tasks are no longer split across multiple $0.25 checkpoints. Instead, they will be bundled into one checkpoint, which may cost more than $0.25 but reflects the total effort involved. This means you’ll pay less for simple requests and may pay more for complex requests—ensuring pricing aligns better with the actual work the Agent performs on your behalf. The new pricing model is effective immediately for new Replit users and will start rolling out to existing Core and Teams subscribers starting July 1st.
