Describe your idea and Replit builds a working app in minutes
Describe the product you want and the agent plans, codes, tests and iterates on a working full-stack application.
Authentication, databases, hosting and monitoring work out of the box, so apps scale without separate DevOps work.
A no-cost mode lets you brainstorm and build without spending tokens before upgrading to stronger models.
Connect services such as OpenAI, Stripe and Google Workspace in minutes rather than writing glue code.

A free, AI-powered academic search engine for 240M+ papers across every scientific field
Search 241 million-plus publications from every scientific field using natural-language queries that match meaning rather than exact keywords.
Each indexed paper gets a one-sentence machine-generated TLDR so you can triage results before committing to reading the full text.
An augmented PDF reader that highlights citations, definitions, equations and figures inline, and shows which later papers cited the passage you are reading.
See how a paper was cited, whether citations were influential, and which references shaped the work — useful for literature reviews and citation chasing.
