"On Wednesday, AI startup Replit released , an autonomous code generation system designed to help non-programmers with software development projects. It's the latest in the industry-wide investment in vibe coding tools, one of the most popular applications of AI. Also: I asked AI to modify mission-critical code, and what happened next haunts me After receiving high-level instructions from a human user, Agent 3 is able to iteratively test and fix its own code."
""The net outcome is an increase in your efficiency and productivity," Replit in the announcement, in keeping with what has been the dominant argument for both coding and non-coding AI tools. The new agent, Replit added, is "up to 3x faster and 10x more cost-effective than Computer Use models," referring to AI systems that can use computers the way humans can."
Replit unveiled Agent 3, an autonomous code-generation system aimed at helping non-programmers complete software projects. Agent 3 accepts high-level instructions, iteratively tests and fixes its own code, and can build subsidiary agents that integrate with apps like Slack, Telegram, and Gmail. Replit claimed the agent is up to 3x faster and 10x more cost-effective than Computer Use models and that the net outcome is increased efficiency and productivity. Vibe coding systems like Agent 3 are a major investment focus because code-generation has proven valuable to enterprises. Replit raised $250 million, valuing the company at $3 billion. A recent user codebase deletion raises reliability and safety concerns.
