For Replit’s CEO, the future of software is ‘agents all the way down’
Replit's agents can help non-developers design and code an app in a mere 15 minutes, illustrating the disruprtion of vibe coding.
Speaking at VB Transform on Tuesday, Masad touted how his startup’s agents could help a non-developer design and code a live polling app in a mere 15 minutes — using a written prompt to create databases, login authentication and even quality checks. When asked if his company could actually replace enterprise-grade tools like configure-price-quote (CPQ) systems, Masad said “we’re seeing customers have three orders of magnitude of savings on apps.” He gave an anecdote about a Replit user that claimed to use the platform to make a working version for ERP automation for just $400 instead of the vendor’s quoted $150,000. When a VB Transform audience member asked where the internet is heading with the future of web pages and multimodal agents, Masad said he thinks there’s a growing expectation of how the form factor of computing will change — which he noted could include various AI-enable wearables from OpenAI and Meta.
