Masad: Replit built its AI Agent as a multiplayer user
“And actually the way we built it is, is like, it's a multiplayer system. So Repl.it is you know, has real time what we call multiplier coding. And we reused this, the multiplayer system to build the agent. So the agent in the code is structured as a, another u…”
Masad: Replit slaughtered its roadmap after Anthropic released Computer Use

Masad: Replit is developing an autonomous AI agent to test generated apps
“So we actually have this feature coming up where instead of me testing it, we give it another agent. So here, you know, instead of me interfacing with it and saying, you know, the this is running or not running, We can give it another agent that is actually te…”
