Replit enables building and deploying software collaboratively without setup. Users describe app ideas in natural language to Replit Agent, which generates complete applications. The platform provides full-stack infrastructure including authentication, database, hosting, and monitoring. Designs import into a live visual editor for refinement. Apps publish to the cloud with custom domains and analytics. Pricing starts free with Starter for public apps, scales to Core at $20/month for private apps and full Agent access, Teams at $35/user/month with role-based controls, and custom Enterprise options.
