Software & DevOpsDone with Replit Agent, Claude 2026-10-26
Build a first app with no coding experience
A commenter used Replit's agent with Claude Sonnet to make an app in about five minutes despite never having coded anything functional before.
- What They Did
- A commenter said they built Rhettit.app with Claude and Replit’s agent, using prompts shaped around Aristotle’s rhetoric appeals—ethos, pathos, and logos—for persuasive writing. They describe the app as AI-built and say they had never coded anything functional before; the thread does not add more detail about manual steps or handoff points.
- How It Went
- They said it took about five minutes and cost about $5 total for Claude Sonnet API use plus Replit agent usage. The source gives no performance metrics, launch details, or specific shortcomings for this app.
- Worth Knowing
- The main practical detail is the reported build time and spend: about five minutes and roughly $5.
Try it yourself with Replit Agent
I have never coded before. Build me a simple app that [describe what it should do, e.g. tracks my workouts] with these features: [2-3 features]. Keep it simple, show me a working preview, and explain in plain language how to use it and change it. You're done when I can try it in the preview and add a test entry.
