Replit Agent! The BEST AI Code Assistant?!
People & Blogs
Introduction
There’s a brand new AI coding assistant making massive waves called Replit Agent, and it's doing so for very good reason. This tool is similar to Cursor AI or Claude Engineer, providing an incredible user experience that feels remarkably intuitive. Replit Agent is the first tool that I’ve encountered that gets nearly 99% of the way there—by allowing you to describe an application, and it builds the entire thing for you. It doesn’t just stop at providing code; it also builds the folder structure and enables you to preview your application live. Furthermore, you can publish your project directly from Replit, which is an incredibly convenient feature.
I recently subscribed to Replit Agent to test its capabilities, and I’d like to share my experience. My name is Niko, and I run an online community called the AI Ranking Hub, where we teach individuals how to maximize their search engine optimization and automate tasks using the power of artificial intelligence. If you're interested, I’ll leave a link to the community in the description below.
Now, let’s dive in! I initially built an application – an FAQ and blog title generator – aimed at driving more traffic to my website. For our next project, I wanted to create a bill-splitting app that simplifies splitting expenses among multiple people.
Using the paid version of Replit, I described my project. I detailed the features I wanted: the capacity to add the total amount of the bill, an option to include a tip, and the ability to input other individuals for splitting the bill. I also emphasized the need for a user-friendly design with color and a sliding feature for determining the percentage each person should pay.
What impressed me most was how Replit Agent didn’t jump straight into coding; instead, it first created a plan for the bill-splitting app and suggested additional features, like implementing a bill history and uneven splitting by amount. I chose to stick to the basics for the video.
Once I confirmed the setup, I watched in real-time as Replit created the necessary folder and files for the project. Installation of packages required for the application took place seamlessly, without needing to install anything on my end. Watching it all unfold felt like magic.
As I tested the app, I input a unique bill amount—$ 625—and opted for a 10% tip. The app allows adding names for each person involved in the bill-splitting process. I encountered some hiccups initially; for instance, updating percentages led to an error message requiring the total percentage to equal 100%.
However, through interaction, I was able to articulate my requirements more clearly, and the app adapted. I emphasized the need for automatic updates when one person’s percentage changed, and after tweaking the instructions, everything fell into place.
The app now worked fantastically! I could adjust the percentage via the slider, and it correctly calculated how much each individual owed without further input. The visual aspect of the app also enhanced its usability.
Replit allows for easy previewing, and I had the option to publish my created app for an additional fee. Despite the few errors encountered—mostly due to my input rather than the tool's capability—I managed to build a functional app in a short amount of time.
In conclusion, I highly recommend Replit Agent for anyone looking to simplify their coding projects. This tool makes it incredibly easy to create, visualize, and publish applications in minutes. You can find more details and even access the tool using the link below.
