Replit's new tool lets you build apps with just a prompt

Replit, the billion-dollar IDE startup, has launched a new tool that makes going from idea to finished app as easy as typing a prompt. Replit Agent isn’t just another run-of-the-mill coding copilot — it’s more like a junior software intern who can understand your goal and help bring it to life. It can understand natural language prompts and help create applications from scratch, making software development more accessible to users of all skill levels.

This isn’t anything particularly new on the surface. Do you remember Devin? The difference here is that Replit Agent can reason through a task and create its own steps to complete it — such as writing code, setting up environments, and managing deployments, rather than just taking a prompt and responding in code.

According to Replit CEO Amjad Masad, this isn’t about replacing developers but rather enabling developers of all skill levels to be more creative, saying, "We've crossed a threshold. This isn't about AI replacing developers. It's about supercharging human creativity and making software creation accessible to everyone.”

Make money by selling your side projects with this open-source platform

Over the past year, the tech landscape for developers has been anything but stable. Layoffs have become a familiar story, and AI tools are getting better at tasks traditionally done by developers. In the midst of this uncertainty, more developers are looking for ways to stay independent and keep creating and shipping projects on their own terms.

This is where Polar comes in. It’s an open-source monetization platform designed for developers who want to offer their work directly to their audience—whether through crowdfunding, memberships, digital products, or SaaS. Polar has spent over a year in development, and today, the team is launching Polar v1.0, offering a simple, developer-friendly alternative to other monetization platforms like Lemon Squeezy.

What makes Polar stand out? For one, it’s built with developers in mind. From handling the hard stuff like billing, sales tax, and EU VAT to offering features like file downloads, license keys, and even Discord invites—it takes care of the infrastructure so developers can focus on building. The platform also integrates with APIs, Webhooks, OAuth, and SDKs, making it highly customizable.
