We Built THREE AI Apps Using ONLY AI in 58 Mins! 🤯 (Replit Agent Tutorial - Better Than Cursor)

Introduction

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create three AI applications using Replit agents, all without any coding experience. By following these steps, you’ll be able to build functional apps that can streamline processes, generate leads, and potentially create new revenue streams. This guide is based on a demonstrated tutorial where Mark and Helena built these apps in under an hour.

Step 1: Selecting Your Apps

Before diving into development, you'll need to choose which apps you want to build. Here are the three apps discussed in the tutorial:

• Pick Up Line App
• Blog Generator App
• Web Scraper App

Consider your audience and purpose when selecting an app to build. Each app has a unique function and can be tailored to different needs.

Step 2: Building the Pick Up Line App

To create the Pick Up Line app, follow these steps:

1. Set Up Replit Environment

   • Go to Replit and sign up or log in.
   • Create a new Replit and select the option for a new project.

2. Create a New AI Agent

   • Choose the AI agent template.
   • Define the purpose: To generate creative pick-up lines.

3. Add Functionality

   • Implement a simple input field for users to enter a theme or context.
   • Write an AI prompt that guides the agent on generating pick-up lines. For example:

     Generate a pick-up line related to {theme}.
     

4. Test the App

   • Run the application to see the generated lines based on various themes.
   • Make adjustments to the prompt as necessary for better output.

Step 3: Building the Blog Generator App

Next, we will create a Blog Generator app. Follow these steps:

1. Create a New Replit for Blog Generator

   • Start a new project in Replit.

2. Set Up the AI Agent

   • Use the AI agent template again.
   • Define the goal: To generate blog posts based on topics provided by users.

3. Input and Output Configuration

   • Add an input field for the user to specify a blog topic.
   • Create a prompt that instructs the AI to generate a blog post. For example:

     Write a detailed blog post about {topic}.
     

4. Test and Refine

   • Run the app to generate blog posts.
   • Adjust the AI prompt to improve coherence and relevance.

Step 4: Building the Web Scraper App

Finally, we will create a Web Scraper app. The process is slightly different due to its nature.

1. Start a New Project in Replit

   • Create a new Replit for the Web Scraper.

2. Use the AI Agent

   • Select the AI agent template, focusing on web scraping tasks.

3. Define the Scraping Functionality

   • Provide an input field for users to enter the URL they want to scrape.
   • Use a prompt that instructs the AI on what data to extract. For example:

     Scrape the title and main content from {url}.
     

4. Testing the Web Scraper

   • Run the application and input various URLs to test its functionality.
   • Note that this app may have limitations depending on the website's scraping policies.

Conclusion

You have now built three AI applications using Replit agents without any coding knowledge. These applications can serve various functions, from generating creative content to automating data extraction.

Next steps include refining your apps for better performance, exploring additional functionalities, or even monetizing them. Keep experimenting with prompts and settings in Replit to unlock more potential for these tools!
