"Shipping a button" (vid by @KaiLentit). Might be the funniest thing I've seen in years

Interesting bug in your voice model.. When I speak “454”, the voice transcription engine returns that as “android” Voice prompt: “A 454 cubic inch engine is equivalent to how many liters of displacement?” @AnthropicAI

You can test it… just speak “four hundred and fifty four” to Claude and it will hear “android”

This is the future of UI. I built an AI chat that transforms itself as you talk. Words shape not just the conversation, but the entire interface and tone. Want a new look? Dark mode? Windows 98? Ask, and watch the UI transform✨ Deployed on @Replit for everyone to try. 👇

I'm blown away by Replit Agent - @Replit . I build a lot of PoCs for work and I can't believe how fast I was able to bootstrap on an idea I am iterating on. It took me about half an hour and I love how Replit solved all my setup issues which I face when I am building something. Excited for the future and I am super interested in what to build next. In case you'd like to try my habit tracker, do DM would love to share my link. @amasad keep doing what you folks are doing. Super excited for 2025!

NEW on Replit: connections are front and center. You'll notice we're making Agent connections easier to add. Many of these already existed, but we want to make it more obvious exactly what platforms Agent is optimized for. Additionally, the team is hard at work to improve existing connections and add new ones. Expect updates in the next few weeks ;)

🚢 Workflows You, or Agent, can now define workflows in Replit. For example, you might run a "scrape and load" workflow when you need to update data in your project. The workflows you define will appear in the console or under the Run button. More on this soon!

This 3D car model that @replit Agent made for me is so adorable. I think I'll keep asking it to "make the 3D shape more complex and realistic" until it breaks audi-site.replit.app/

Replit Agent—coming out of early access today—is the best way to go from an idea to a deployed app. Afterward, you'd want to iterate on features and fixes quickly. Enter Assistant—prompt to change at the speed of thought!

I built an @AeroPress timer app with @replit Agent in a few minutes for $2. Agent return the basic working app on the first shot, and I added a couple tweaks. Easy. aeropress-timer.replit.app/ Prompt: “Build an aeropress timer app”
