"Replit has introduced Agent 3, its latest autonomous software agent built to extend the use of AI in programming and workflow automation. Unlike earlier coding assistants that provide small pieces of help through autocomplete or single-step code generation, Agent 3 is designed to carry out tasks over an extended period of time. The system can operate for up to 200 minutes continuously, giving it the capacity to plan, write, test, and refine entire software components without requiring constant user intervention."
"A key technical feature of Agent 3 is its self-testing and debugging loop. Once it generates code, the agent executes it, identifies errors, applies fixes, and reruns the code until it passes tests or meets the specified requirements. This cycle is intended to reduce the need for developers to manually step in during the build process. Replit reports that in internal evaluations, this system performed up to three times faster and at one-tenth of the cost compared with its earlier computer use models."
"Another capability of Agent 3 is its ability to spawn new agents. Users can describe a desired workflow in natural language, and Agent 3 will generate a specialized agent capable of handling it. These generated agents can integrate with services such as Slack, email, and Telegram, enabling applications like automated status updates, customer support responses, or internal reporting tools. This approach shifts the role of the agent from a single assistant into a platform for creating domain-specific automations."
Agent 3 is an autonomous software agent that plans, writes, tests, debugs, and refines software components over extended sessions of up to 200 minutes. The agent runs generated code, detects errors, applies fixes, and reruns until tests pass or requirements are met, reducing developer intervention and accelerating development. Internal evaluations showed up to threefold speed improvements and one-tenth the cost versus earlier models. Agent 3 can spawn specialized agents from natural-language workflow descriptions and integrate with services like Slack, email, and Telegram to automate status updates, customer responses, and internal reporting.
