Since I joined @Replit this spring it has been my personal mission to make it easy for Agent to connect to and build with all my favorite apps.
I’ll admit I that as a user of Replit I have churned many times from building apps I was excited about simply because I was too lazy to track down an API key 🙈 instead of sucking it up and logging into the Google developer console like a normal person, I hunkered down with the team and shipped Connectors so you don’t have to.
I’m super super proud of what we built and I can’t wait to see what our users make with Connectors. It will be an absolute game-changer for founders and enterprises to be able to harness the power of Agent to build custom internal tools that integrate with their company apps and data 🚀
An experience, @witty_genstein@Pellicceama@biknandy (+ support from a huge group of folks) and I have been cooking up for awhile. 🥳
I still remember trying to integrate my gmail with an App I built on Replit a year ago, and wasting hours on end trying to figure out the right client IDs and grant the appropriate access etc. Now, you can do all of that SIMPLY by signing into your Google account.
Not only that, you can do the exact same thing with 20+ tools.
Let me know if you have feedback, and share what you build!
We met @Pellicceama in July and knew we had to join forces. Perfect team, timing and tech fit.
He joined @witty_genstein, @biknandy and @victoriakimse to launch an A+ app integration experience on Replit -- a seamless plaid-like flow for builders to connect their tools/data.
Want to see exactly how we do it and steal this setup?
Its all out in the open in our open source @openintdev repository.
I documented it here:

9 . Plus OpenAI, Cursor, Chromatic and a few others...
The results?
Shipping faster. Stress way down. Confidence way up.
AI didn’t just boost our velocity—it made building fun again.
We're never going back.

2. Why this works for us ⚡️
Most teams can’t justify this setup.
We’re open-source, @ycombinator -backed, and tiny.
That means free plans, generous founders, and zero red tape.
Startups should exploit this window.
