On October 27, 2026, Replit announced Cloud Agents in a Replit blog post. They let anyone on a team contribute code to the company's existing codebase by describing a change in plain language, and they were available to all Pro and Enterprise customers.
How Cloud Agents work
- The agent finds the relevant code, shows a live preview next to the chat, and opens a pull request in GitHub or a merge request in GitLab that follows the team's skills and contribution guidelines.
- Before a request reaches reviewers, the agent tests the change in isolated cloud sandboxes by clicking through the running app, then attaches screenshots and video of the final version.
- Review feedback can become proposed updates to the team's skills, which engineers approve. This part was in early access.
- An admin sets up a shared environment once. A Cloud Agent configures a VM with the repos, runtimes and dependencies, and it updates automatically from the main branch.
- Users can mention or message
@Replitin Slack to start an investigation or a pull request. The Slack integration was available to all customers, and Microsoft Teams support was listed as coming soon.
What it means for people building with AI
Replit extended its reach from apps built from scratch to changes on existing production codebases. The work arrives as a pull request or merge request, so engineers keep their review step, and it comes with screenshots and video of the tested change.
Reported internal results
