Replit

I guess maybe I'm just conflating it with some other type of like crappy sass.

There's Render, there's Vercel, there's Replit, there's what is it like front end or front? There's a front page design.

Like there's so many, just 20 bucks a month, 50 bucks a month AIs, startups that do the same thing.

If you, if you just Googled Replit right now, I bet you'd see a ton of Google ads for different competitors you've never heard of.

True.

True.

They also have a great fee-- uh, free tier plan, and I think this is best for speed demos and quick MVPs, uh, although a lot of users say that overall it's maybe weaker co-- uh, code quality than some of their competitors.

Uh, big name in this space, obviously Replit.

So that's their, uh, you know, cloud IDE combining an editor, database, hosting, and AI agent.

Uh, so they just launched, uh, the agent launch with ten times more autonomy, building apps across fifty-plus programming languages.

I'm a big fan of the, uh, the Replit agent.

They also have effort-based pricing that scales with actual compute, and real-time multiplayer editing makes it probably one of the stronger platform for learning and collaboration.

Uh, next, V0 from Vercel, uh, probably one of the cleanest React and Next.js code from any AI builder.

I'll stop yapping, Greg, so you can say some things as well.

well.I remember when, 2024, when Lovable and Bolt and Replit, v0 came out, all of a sudden anyone could be a vibe coder.

And we started seeing all these vibe coding projects, websites, landing pages, apps, um, and I...

You know, the effects of that are still playing out, uh, to this day.

UAE says State of Hormuz is a red line.

Bahrain air show has been cancelled and Replit founder Abjad Massad, the Palestinian Jordanian American, founder of Replit, the $9 billion AI company, startup, which started nearly six, seven years ago, has revealed that the company is nearing a billion dollar annual recurring revenue, which is a turnaround from what was happening in 2024.

Very interesting story.

Stay till the end to listen to the story.

So all of this is happening.

But apart from the geopolitical and regional, complications and stories.

There is a very interesting story today which I kept for the end and it's about Replit.

And Replit is founded, a lot of people ask me why are we covering Replit and Not Lovable and Base44 and there's so many other coding platforms out there which help you vibe code basically.

So and you could probably share that with your friends, either through an HTML file or you found a simple hosting provider that hosted the app for free, you know, and there's plenty of that.

But there's also tools like Bolt.new, Replit, Lovable, if you want to build applications.

And I encourage people on my YouTube channel, I talked about this a bunch, especially in the beginning, to use those applications because it helps you get started so fast.

And then from there, you get more advanced and you start getting into cloud co-work, which is more building out skills and workflows.

I'd, I'd love to, you know, talk to them.

By vibe coding I mean companies like Lovable, obviously Vercel, uh, Replit.

Um, there's one called Base44.

There's a bunch of these out there, and they're being used in different ways.

Yeah.

You kinda have the two faces there.

Um, then you've got Lovable, Replit, Base44.

There's more of them, but, but those are kinda, like, the most kinda common ones.

But before we get there, do you – so me and AJ and all of us, we listen to Rory and Lemkin and Harry Stebbings talk about how – and I've seen Harry Stebbings say that the market right now is hotter than 2021 – But there's also a bit of pooping on like triple, twice, double, three times in terms of, I almost feel like it's a pooping on non-PLG like virality, like a traditional enterprise sales motion that is gonna grow linearly, not exponentially.

Whereas if you had like some kind of, you know, whereas Cursor or Replit or Bolt are growing exponentially versus linearly.

Does that worry you in any way or are you, I mean, my perspective for what it's worth is good businesses are good businesses.

And you're an entrepreneur working in the same space that you already had an exit with.
