This tutorial shows how to use Replit Agent to build a project from a prompt and iterate on it using the Agent chat.
Notes:
- You need a Replit account to get started. Sign up at replit.com if you don't have one yet.
- Replit Agent works best with clear, specific prompts. The more context you give, the better the output.
- Sign in at replit.com and click + Create Something New on the dashboard.
- At the bottom of the prompt, use the suggested example prompt as a starting point, or describe your own - for example, "A quarterly review dashboard for a SaaS startup summarizing key metrics, wins, and next quarter priorities." Click the Arrow button to run.
- Wait for the Agent to generate your project. It sets up the environment, installs dependencies, and creates your files automatically.
- To make changes, type a follow-up instruction in the Agent tab - for example, "Add a color picker or toner." The Agent updates the project automatically.
- Test your project and check the Preview or Console for confirmation that everything is working correctly.
