The YC application· Winter 2018 batch
Company profile
researched Aug 2026Replit, Inc. (formerly Repl.it) is an American technology company that operates a browser-based software development platform. It began as a collaborative online integrated development environment (IDE) supporting multiple programming languages and has evolved into an AI-driven application creation platform. Users describe what they want in natural language and Replit's agent writes, iterates on and publishes the code; the platform bundles authentication, database, hosting and monitoring services so applications can be deployed without separate infrastructure setup.
The company released the first version of Replit Agent in September 2024, and in March 2026 announced Agent 4, which introduces an "infinite canvas" where users can adjust mockups and designs visually, sketch features, run parallel agent tasks and collaborate in real time through a kanban-style multi-user workflow. Other product surfaces include chat-based building, more than 100 integrations (including OpenAI, Stripe and Google Workspace), mobile app generation for iOS and Android with built-in Stripe monetization, and enterprise controls such as SSO/SAML, SOC 2 and administrative tooling. Pricing runs from a free tier with daily usage allowances to paid tiers billed monthly or annually.
Replit was a member of Y Combinator's Winter 2018 batch and is described on its YC profile as serving a community of more than 20 million developers with a team of 65.
