Overview

Development

Replit

Replit is a browser-based platform where you can effortlessly create and share apps without installation or setup.

Introduction

Replit Apps help you transform your ideas into apps anyone can access, anywhere.

Replit Apps

One of the great parts about Replit is that _everything_ you make can be shared with the world. Since your code is hosted in the cloud, it's as simple as one click!

Collaboration

Learn how to create and manage private Replit Apps with a Core membership or Teams Pro account. Control access to your projects with privacy settings.

Visibility

Replit App Visibility

Learn how to configure your Replit App using .replit and replit.nix files to manage dependencies, run commands, environment variables, and deployment settings.

Advanced Configuration

Replit App Configuration

Embedding a Replit App in your website or documentation allows you to display a read-only view of your code, meaning viewers can see but not edit the code. This feature is particularly useful for showcasing examples, tutorials, or code snippets directly within your content.

App Embed

Replit's AI-powered tools help you code faster, solve problems more efficiently, and deliver production-ready apps.

Replit AI

Replit Agent uses AI to set up and create apps from scratch. Describe your app in everyday language, and it can set up and create your Replit App in minutes.

Replit Agent

Replit Assistant uses AI to help you create and polish your app quickly. Type what you want in everyday language, and it can add new features or fix problems for you. Assistant can also analyze your code to explain what it does and suggest the next lines as you type.

Replit Assistant

Agent supports numerous integrations enabled automatically when your prompt contains specific keywords.

Integrations

Agent integrations

The Replit workspace is an environment where you can create apps and write code in a single browser tab without any installation or setup. From the workspace, you can create, run, and deploy your apps from any device.
