Replit's Agent builds your app from a prompt. NimbleHQ keeps it shipping while you're away.
Replit gives you a full coding workspace with an AI agent inside. The difference is who drives. In Replit you start each build and follow it in the workspace. In NimbleHQ agents work through a task list you approve, and ship to your live product.
