Explore

Try the tasks in the following sections to learn how Agent and Assistant, Replit’s AI-powered tools can help you build your app. Agent specializes in building projects from scratch and making complex changes to a Replit App. Assistant specializes in smaller changes and describing the app’s code.
Assistant and Agent, which rely on popular AI models, occasionally produce results that don’t fulfill your request. If you encounter issues, follow up with a prompt that describes the error messages or the incorrect behavior. Alternatively, you can use the Rollback feature to restore your Replit App to a previously known working state.
The following sections show examples of using them to enhance this Remix.

​
Add a feature using Agent

When building from a Remix, Agent is available only if it performed the initial setup for that Remix.
Follow these steps to add a complex feature to your Remix using Agent:
1

Craft a prompt

Navigate to the Agent tab.Enter the following prompt in the text area:
Add a button that toggles an autopilot flyby mode.
After you submit the prompt, Agent might pause and ask for clarification or confirmation. Respond in the text area.
2

Test the feature

Navigate to the Preview tab to see Agent’s updates to the visualization.Try toggling the added autopilot button.Since the initial prompt excluded information such as speed and position of the flyby, the result might not match your expectations.
3

Refine the feature

If the feature differs from your expectations, continue the conversation by entering the following prompt in the Agent text area:
Change the autopilot to slowly and continuously fly between planets.
After Agent completes the feature, the Preview might resemble the following image:
