  Yeah. We're hiring software engineers, hiring community managers. We're starting to think about a marketing position.

• bullish fact_claim Amjad Masad

  one place that I feel like it's not democratized, and now Replit is working and democratizing, is deploying to the cloud.

• bullish fact_claim Amjad Masad

  on Replit, it's a full stack environment. So, you can build using Flask or Django or Node.js or what have you, and it's all in the same environment. So, you have the backend and the frontend and the IDE and the output for that all on one screen.

• bullish endorsement Amjad Masad

  And so Replit is designed in a way to encourage that. So we have a community angle where anyone can publish an application, and not only an application, but its source code as well. So, you know, in GitHub, you can publish source code. But on Replit, you can publish the source code and the application. So I can see how you built it, and I can play with it. And then we have this big button called fork, right? You can click fork, and you have a copy of that application, and now you can tinker with

• neutral fact_claim Amjad Masad

  So it's from the ground up, collaborative cloud environment and runtime.

• neutral fact_claim Amjad Masad

  And so REPLIT multiplayer, the technology, is connecting multiple people to a cloud instance, to a cloud container, and they're both not only collaborating on the code and the text like Google Docs, but they're also executing the same code. They're collaborating on the same application.

• neutral fact_claim Amjad Masad

  So we do own Replit.com. Right. At some point, we'll move to it. But it's just, yeah, it was like a fun thing. We were, when we're thinking about the company and the product, it started like a project, a side project. And so the name comes from this old-school concept in programming called Read, Eval, Print Loop.

• neutral fact_claim Amjad Masad

  we ditched our own models. We, we didn't have hundreds of millions of dollars to train these really large models.

• bullish assessment Amjad Masad

  With Replit, most of the time, I mean, sometimes we mess it up, but most of the time, or aspirationally, what we want to do is like, we only want to present a working application to you.

• neutral fact_claim Amjad Masad

  when ChatGPT happened, we came out with this product called Ghostwriter, and it was kind of a co-pilot like product, but it was, it wasn't satisfying because our customers coding is still hard for them and boring and not really something they're excited about.

• neutral fact_claim Amjad Masad

  we were the first startup to train a model, an open source model. We actually did it in 2022, even before the sort of ChatGPT moment.

• bullish fact_claim Amjad Masad

  in a solo entrepreneur perspective it it 100 is and what we're seeing of our customers i mean we we we have um this uh this guy on twitter actually he built uh 250k arr business on repli and he didn't know how to write any code coming into this he just used chapter gpt and repli and ghostwriter and other tools to kind of figure out how to write the code himself he doesn't even know how to use git and he built this huge business uh for himself doing that and obviously that would not be possible w

• mixed assessment Amjad Masad

  on a kind of a company scale level i i like i don't think we've seen a huge productivity improvements and again that's because the thing that is lost between actually writing the code and and actually deploying a product there's everything that happens in between that ai hasn't touched yet and this is why we're really excited about it because even if you make the individual developers slightly more productive by you know making it easier to generate code it still doesn't translate you know very

• bullish assessment Amjad Masad

  you know the again on an individual developer perspective we see our developers are a lot more engage a lot happier and a lot excited about writing code because you know it just removes a lot of the drudgery of writing code

• bullish assessment Unattributed

  i think a lot more people can participate in that in a lot of different ways one is we can make code more accessible and more learnable and that's what we're doing two i think there's a lot a lot of uh opportunity for uh ai to help with this such as ai is writing the code for you yep three i think some version of no code might work i'm not a big fan of the way people are doing it right now because they're basically recreating the programming environment using blocks and things like that and that

• neutral fact_claim Unattributed

  yeah it's 100 days yeah 100 days so we have it in hindi too

• bullish assessment Unattributed

  you know jason the way we think about competition and the way we think about just the landscape in general is that we really want to be the place where people create and so if you help people create we want to partner with you so if you're hugging face and you're helping people create uh ai uh by hosting models um and by training models then developers on repli should be able to use those models right from hugging face so in a lot of ways repli becomes this positive sum playground for everyone t

• neutral fact_claim Unattributed

  hugging face i think they they're they're on repli they have they have some examples on repli that they built uh and you can like fork them and play with them

• bullish assessment Unattributed

  it adds a layer that github never really added which is how do you actually uh how do you actually run this stuff and not just view the code and download it locally but i can actually bring it into my environment and mess with it and publish it and uh and you know we have this community where people vote on things and tip each other uh and so it adds a layer that you know i think github never really added

• neutral fact_claim Unattributed

  just mean you compete with like um github and those kind of repositories now and

• bullish prediction Unattributed

  deploy button could could also go to your vps or to your internal deployment i think once we go into the enterprise in the future if they have on-prem thing we could also package a container and put it on there on-prem as well

• bullish prediction Unattributed

  i mean eventually you could be cloud independent or multi-cloud and when you click deploy or you want to put into production you could they could compete for your business it could give you three different prices for this right and you could list them in rank order of what it will cost to run these here right

• bullish assessment Unattributed

  what we care about is really that polished end-to-end developer experience and we've seen no one do that everyone picks a niche to be really good at and we want to be good at the end thing

• bullish assessment Unattributed

  so we're building a lot of these features on google cloud and i think the space enough for for a lot of players to to compete

• bullish prediction Unattributed

  i think in the future we might even partner with aws right now with partnered with google cloud

• bullish fact_claim Unattributed

  we just added this feature to be able to deploy your app right from replit so so this means you're in competition with aws when you do this you'll be like a hosting company in addition to yes our vision from the start is to do the end-to-end process

• bullish endorsement Unattributed

  it's pretty pretty slick already

• mixed assessment Unattributed

  it's still not an agent in the way i describe it because i'm looking at what it's doing and i'm reviewing what it's doing what we want is for it to actually be able to do all of that run the code itself uh be able to deploy the code and be able to get feedback on it

• bullish fact_claim Unattributed

  we're not one of these companies trying to build agi we're trying to build adi artificial developer intelligence we're trying to augment you as a developer as a solo entrepreneur as someone who wants to build a business online someone who wants to participate in the global digital economy we want to supercharge you such that you it feels like you have an army of developer developers working for you

• bullish fact_claim Unattributed

  one of our biggest bounty hunters is uh is this uh sre at at vmware that does it on the weekends and on the plane and it's a game for him and he's making all this all this money but for us it's also a very valuable source of data to be able to make our ai better as well like we you know when you're able to match uh project description to output of work uh you know we're going to be able to make the agent um thing work a lot better and also we want the developers to the bounties developers and de

• bullish endorsement Unattributed

  i i remember that you've also checked it out yeah i did pretty amazing

• bullish assessment Unattributed

  millions of developers in repli uh which is pretty impressive

• bullish fact_claim Amjad Masad

  we're we're at the bleeding edge of it and we make a lot of the major some some major contributions to the field as well

• bullish fact_claim Amjad Masad

  one of the things that i found challenging when i talked to to these developers is that landing their first job is actually quite quite difficult uh because people want experience and all of that but a lot of these people when you look at their profiles when you look at their repli profiles that are actually better than a lot of silicon valley engineers so what is the best way to show that they're better is to create a platform where they have real work for real customers or real clients availab

• bullish fact_claim Amjad Masad

  we put it out and in a matter of months it reached a million annualized gmv we should have sort of hit on something it's basically we had this backlog of developers that are hungry to do work and show

• bullish prediction Amjad Masad

  one milestone we're trying to hit this year is to be able to tell an agent i want like a login page or something like that like just one feature that's very concrete that developers do every day and for that agent to be able to fork off your environment which is very easy to do in replit and for you to be able to watch it and go and try to build that and run into errors or recover from those errors and then come back to you with the code saying here i finish it

• bullish assessment Amjad Masad

  replet i think is very well positioned because replet is full fully bundled environment so from your first line of code to your first deployment to your scale deployment so we take the entire software life cycle and we package it in one place now we can inject ai exactly at the right places to be able to help you in this crucial moment when when you get it when you get this crash of production

• bullish fact_claim Unattributed

  we actually started building on top of that um really early on uh and we were like the first major company outside of microsoft to release a copilot type product and we did it in a way that we didn't actually rely on open ai we actually did an open source model and we trained our model and we open source it as well

• bullish assessment Jason Calacanis

  and the ability to have a co-pilot and to debug has taken some of the harder aspects of being a coder especially if you're a solo coder um it's changed things dramatically

• bullish fact_claim Amjad Masad

  replets initial product was that not only we're going to make this uh ide on top of open source software everything from the ground up is open source uh that we're building on but also we're going to put it in the browser or we can make it so easy you're going to go again like your friend anyone today is like interested in kicking the tires doing something with software you just go to replet sign up in a few minutes and you have an environment

• bullish endorsement Jason Calacanis

  it's super inspiring uh to see how many people are getting into coding and how uh you know these um uh ides and we'll talk about that in a second uh have really made that possible for many more people

• bullish assessment Wade Foster

  I think it's a pretty important collaborator. So we're a connector inside of ChatGPT. You can use us as an MCP provider inside their agent builder. ... And so, Zapier plus, you know, you know, a ChatGPT or a Claude or a Gemini is a pretty powerful combination.

• neutral assessment Wade Foster

  I think our approach is, you know, we'd rather keep that for ourselves. But I do think there's benefit to releasing benchmarks and evals and other tools that can help you get a sense for how well these models perform against these tools. And if you make those public, you'll likely find that the foundation models will start training on those things. And that can be beneficial to you because you're getting some cooperation with everybody to improve on a certain thing that you actually are like, I

• bullish fact_claim Wade Foster

  in the case of us, we're sitting on 14 years of workflow data. And as a result, like we know how to make these things reliable. And when things break, we know how to fix them. And, you know, we can use that data because very few other people have access to the corpus of information we have. And so we can use that to improve the experience.

• bullish fact_claim Holly

  Yeah, the three main categories are finance, medical and legal and coding, you know, is a very close fourth. Those are the ones that we sort of focus on based on the demand that we that we see.

• bullish fact_claim Holly

  So, you know, the way we look at it is we're in the phase of post training where net new data is required and that net new data is created by humans. Oftentimes human experts and subject matter experts in specific domains that are creating very complex, high fidelity data sets to continue improving model capabilities.

• neutral fact_claim Mikey Schulman

  Our first Android engineer sent us a little app that he made that was like we used to have this homepage with this big wheel of all the different like weird mashups of genres. And it's like it's on the web and it's like really made for mobile because it's like interactive and he just built it and sent it to us. And that was our first Android engineer. You just hired them.
