Recently, our CEO Chaeng held a special online event with representatives from Replit, an AI development platform that is garnering worldwide attention. Despite being held at an unusual time of 3am, over 1,000 people participated and engaged in lively discussions about the cutting edge of AI tools.

What is Replit?

Replit is a San Francisco-based company founded in 2016 by Amjad Masad, Faris Masad, and Haya Odeh. The company provides an online integrated development environment (IDE) that runs on a browser and supports over 50 programming languages. This allows users to seamlessly code, run, debug, and deploy instantly, eliminating the need to set up an environment.
