Direct answer
What is Replit?
Replit provides a cloud IDE with hosting, databases, and an agent that scaffolds and iterates on complete applications, including deployment, from natural-language prompts.
Replit Agent plans an app, writes the code, provisions databases and secrets, runs it in the browser, and deploys it with a click. The platform includes collaboration, templates, and mobile apps, which makes it a common entry point for people building their first software product.
End-to-end building in the browser, from prompt to deployed app with infrastructure handled.
