Agent gets enlightened
A look at everything going on in the world of Replit.

Full details here.
And a tutorial from Matt to walk you through.
And if you’re wondering whether the new modes are useful…
Might be a coincidence, but now @Replit has extended thinking and high-power mode, this is the *only* time I've managed to get it to one-shot dark mode in an app 👏

Custom instructions for Agent
Agent now adds a replit.md file to every project it creates.
The primary purpose is to create a running summary of what’s been built/updated/fixed, which Agent will reference as it goes - but it can also be used to provide custom instructions for Agent to follow.
It's finally here!
You can now customize Agent in Replit. Here's how to get started 👇

And, as you’d expect, here’s Matt with a tutorial.

What’s that about web search?
When ChatGPT started being able to search the web, it got a lot more useful - and the same is true for Agent.
With web search, Agent has access to the latest documentation for any APIs and packages you want to integrate, and it can find content for sites you’re building.

A quick explainer if you don’t live your whole life on X.
Beta for dev + prod databases
After teasing it for a little while, Replit is finally getting around to solving one of the last gaps in their deployment infrastructure - the ability to have separate development and production databases.
DM Vic if you want to get involved.
So much is happening! @amasad on @joerogan ?? Opus support on @Replit ?! 🥳
Well I'm also excited to let you know that our beta program to enable separate dev and prod databases is live. Starting with a small cohort of users for now, me know if you're interested in testing!

Design wireframes in chat
Another little improvement from the team.
.@Replit now throws wireframes into the chat for UI brainstorms and redesigns.
This appears to be new since the their upgrade the other day.

Coming soon
Any bets on what’s going to change?
Just got a demo of Replit Agent v3. This September, we're going to change the game again.

MVP agencies wrecked
My company was quoted $68k/month with a 12 month contract for a MVP. I’m a PM with no coding background but with @Replit I was able to build it myself for $226 total. In 2 weeks the app went from idea to beta testing. Insane where tech is these days.
