| | | | | | While the developer world is obsessing over Cursor and Claude, Replit Agents have taken the lead and replaced the need for even AI to write code. Your friendly AI Human, Amit Raja Naik, is here to share this amazing new development with you. | | | | | | | | | | | | The Replit Agent is an AI tool that helps users build software projects by interpreting natural language prompts. It simplifies software development, making it more accessible to users of varying skill levels. Currently, the agent is only available in Repls created via the Replit Agent entry and does not support existing Repls or imported repositories.
But apart from that, everyone is impressed. Even Andrej Karpathy, who has been actively building using Cursor, said Replit Agents can be placed under the “feel the AGI” category.
“As mentioned in the post, making actual apps is a lot more than code, you have to set up the entire environment, deploy it, etc. Automating all of this other infra will allow anyone to quickly build and deploy entire web apps,” said Karpathy.
It was said that Cursor will be able to replace the software engineering team, or at least shrink them, and Claude Artifacts could kill the app stores, but Replit Agents can build almost from landing pages to healthcare apps connected with databases within seconds. This does not even require writing a single line of code. | | | | | | | | | Masad shared examples of people building a healthcare app in minutes where the agent could fix bugs by itself, a live postgres powered Flask and Vanilla Javascript based website in less than 10 minutes, and even a Wordle Clone in just 2:43 seconds. Andrew Davison from Zapier was the first one to build a full working browser-based pong game in less than 90 seconds using Replit Agent. “I had to do zero coding myself. Just sat back and watched,” he said. The most crucial use case of Replit Agent is for building MVPs of products within organisations, which would otherwise require a lot of time. “I like to say that AI makes coding fun again, by getting you past annoying boilerplate and API glues…saves me a day of work slogging through API docs every time I use it,” said Scott Kennedy, VP of engineering at Replit. Replit’s move is extremely timely with the conversation around Devin’s release and other agents like Cody.AI and ReactAgent coming up in the market. The only problem it currently has is not having a Python backend. The most interesting part about Replit’s approach is that AI coding agents are also available on smartphones, which Replit has always been famous for. It has always been the goal of Replit to make AI accessible for all with an active approach for open source. Sander Saar from RedBull said that he was able to build three functional web apps within 4 minutes on his phone. “Replit Agent doesn’t just review and write code, their AI agents plan the functions, create development environments, install dependencies, write the code, configure databases and deploy,” Saar explained, questioning if this is the end for paying for software. The fear of getting replaced among software engineers remains alive, and keeps getting scarier with every AI release. “do you think it still makes sense for people learning how to code to understand all the low-level details, or are they better off learning how to converse with agents?” asked a developer to Karpathy in his post. | | | | | | | Software engineering teams to shrink significantly | | | | | One thing for sure is that the size of software engineering teams would definitely decrease in the future as companies would be able to create prototypes and others in just a matter of seconds. This is also particularly worrying for Indian IT companies and developers who might be on a brink of emergency pretty soon. Many people, including students in India and elsewhere, lack the financial means to pay for services like Cursor or GitHub Copilot, which typically costs $10 a month or similar amounts. Access to AI-driven workflows is essential because these skills will be expected by future employers or for starting one’s own business.

It doesn’t have to be actively not fun either, but the primary feeling should be that of effort. It should look a lot less like that ‘10 minute full-body’ workout from your local digital media creator and a lot more like a serious session at the gym,” he posted on X, a few months back, comparing learning with going to the gym and cautioned that a lot of videos on YouTube looked like education, but were merely for entertainment.

Matt Shumer's HyperWrite recently launched Reflection 70B, an open-source model outperforming GPT-4o and Claude Sonnet 3.5 using Reflection-Tuning to self-correct and enhance reasoning. Google DeepMind launched AlphaProteo, an AI system designed to generate novel protein binders, advancing drug design and disease research by creating highly effective treatments targeting proteins like VEGF-A, far surpassing traditional methods. All Hands AI, creator of open-source tool OpenDevin (now OpenHands), raised $5 million to enhance AI development agents for bug fixing and test writing. | | | | | | | | | Join the NVIDIA AI Summit India from October 23–25, 2024, at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai to explore AI innovations across generative AI, robotics, supercomputing, and more, with 70% of use cases addressing India's grand challenges.
