Buyer Beware: Replit’s AI Agent Review

I decided to try out the new Replit AI agent that everyone on Twitter was raving about, so I signed up for Replit Core for a year. At first, the agent seemed incredible—it was generating working code for about 20 minutes. But then things went downhill. It stopped editing the code directly and started telling me what to change instead. It even claimed to have made changes to files that it hadn’t touched. Eventually, it stopped running the server altogether and just turned into a basic chatbot with a bad UI, often repeating itself.

Unfortunately, there are no refunds, so I’m stuck hoping the product improves. Right now, though, it feels like the company is more about hype and making money than delivering on its promises.
