Replit CEO Amjad Masad says AI agents are creating a 'self-driving company'
At TechCrunch Disrupt, Replit CEO and co-founder Amjad Masad described a "self-driving company" model in which AI agents handle much of the routine work (e.g., triaging support tickets by inspecting GitHub issues, the codebase, and Linear tickets) while humans retain judgment and taste. He said Replit's operations have shifted to an agent-driven loop that lets people focus more on architecture, product decisions and creative work.
