Replit updated its chat, providing users with the ability to work with existing projects directly through an AI agent, without the need to open them in the editor beforehand.
The agent can now perform edits and tasks (such as adding search) in the background, using the context and files of the entire project. This significantly increases the speed and convenience of development, eliminating unnecessary steps.
Furthermore, the functionality is not limited to a single project: from one chat, you can instruct the agent to update prices, change design styles, and perform other tasks across multiple different projects.
Why it matters
- —Increased productivity: eliminates the need to manually open every project for edits.
- —Deep contextual awareness: The Agent uses the entire project context, not just visible files.
- —Task scaling: Ability to manage multiple projects from a single chat.
Key facts
- The Agent can work with existing projects from a new chat.
- Edits are performed in the background, using the project context.
- Functionality is not limited to a single project.
- Ability to assign tasks to the agent, such as updating prices or design styles.
